Great band. This one has killer riffs as well:

[Phylactery]

Probably the best song ever about war. The song paints vivid pictures of the preparation for the battle and then the battle itself. So many chills during this song:

The war drums.
The opening vocal line of "Blood red skies, blood red fields, the sun in its last breath providing the shadows of the trees. A moment to dance before death."
That insane scream at 8:22 - 8:37.
The melancholic riff at 11:05 to 11:30. I imagine this is the point where the survivors are surveying the battlefield and seeing the death and destruction, perhaps regretting what they've done, before preparing to finish the battle.

And then the last couple of lines are just epic:

My wary hatred engraves
Fear in their faces as they see their death
I am war, I am death
My hammer crushes skulls and bones
Screams of fear
My sword's thirst drowns in blood
Tears and begging for mercy
I laugh and kill
I am the god of war
I am Ares!

Top five Swedish metal song

Yeah, amazing song.

Do you have a finalised top 5? I'd like to see it. I'm going to think about it as I love lists.

 

[no country for old wainds]

cries from a restless soul
primal breath
the break of autumn
raped by the light of christ
non-divine

No Opeth?

I don't even know if you're being entirely serious but I'd take "Within" over all of those AtG songs except perhaps "Primal Breath".

Also "Obsolete Tears", "Beyond all Horizons" and "Far Away from the Sun" over that Sacramentum song.

i am lol but those are all respectable alternatives. and 'a sorcerer's pledge' and 'a fine day to die' and probably tons of other shit i'm forgetting right now.
