"With Oden On Our Side" OUT NOW! Discuss...

[TheLastWithPaganBlood]

No idea, I've never heard it before though it doesn't sound very original.

I once told a guy not to long ago on this forum that if he doesn't like slayer, then he's not metal. But as I said, I'm probably suffering from hybris.

 

[Tetranyque]

The top of the poster reads "IF YOU DON'T LIKE AMON AMARTH, YOU'RE NOT INTO METAL!"

I wonder where they got that from? Or am I suffering from hybris? Anyway,

Reminds me of Manowar "If you're not into metal, you are not my friend"

...Maybe Amon Amarth wanted to make fun of Manowar (Joey Demaio) who dare to pretend to pay a tribute to Odin with their forthcoming album...just a theory !!!

I only got 2 stickers...wtf!

They are runes, an ancient Germanic alphabet I beleive. They are as follows(left to right):
Othila Dagaz Ehwaz Nauthiz
Translated to English, it spells "ODEN"

Wow, nice work. I'm impressed. Do you know what it says on the front of the CD?

 

[L33ch]

The diagonal runes along the edge of the Valknot read "Amon Amarth", if that's the runes you were referring to.

 

[Xeon]

the other runes on top of the valknot (didnt know that the thing is called valknot) read "with oden on our side", at least i think so because the number of letters matches the number of runes

 

[Gebo]

Wow, nice work. I'm impressed. Do you know what it says on the front of the CD?

Well, I have yet to get mine, and I couldn't find pictures of it to read it, but I did find a good source with the runes, their names, what corresponding english letter they are, and what they stand for alone. And a name translator.

Runes

Gotta love PBS

Got mine too today, bought the only available copy at that store

Awsome album, and most of all, what a sound quality, gods sake, you can tell where every piece of the drumset stood when it was recored. Way to go guys

PS: I Will be coping the lyrics soon, so we can get the real lyrics online Couse there still are quite a nice amount of mistakes in the lyrics here at the board.
Just an example: His head explodes see the lightning strike --real-> His rage is pure/His hate is pure(first time/second time)


Greetz bAer`-

 

[Xeon]

it really gave me a good laugh when i read "his head explodes" for the first time

 

[The Bringer]

I had a great laugh at that. I actually updated the lyrics on Metal-Archives already. If you go there you can get the proper lyrics for every song but Prediction of Warfare.

 

[Renie Gamgee]

I couldn't help laughing when I imagined myself walking on the streets with such a baloon in my hand, the passers'-by eyes out on stalks

 

[The Bringer]

I'm hoping Amon Amarth will play Tuska Open-Air next summer. Then I'll definitely get some helium and take the balloon to downtown Helsinki with me.

 

[Xeon]

although its probably just the booze i'm drinking at the moment, i wanna thank you for doing great music. no huge experiments which could cost you many old fans, just straight forward viking death metal which gives me goose bumps all the time.
Hail and skål!

 

[Reaping Clarity]

Well even though this thread serves no purpose, I'd have to agree with this guy, Amon will never go mainstream, they will always dish out fine viking death metal

 

[Maggot9]

amen.

\m/

 

[Koude Haat]

 

[The Bringer]

Congratulations on another kick ass album! Glad to hear the stellar solos too!!

 

[skinnywhiteboy]

yeah, what he said...

 

[Belgar]

Got mine today ... really nice cd, sounds like the production is their best so far.
Still pondering which beer will be the first one to suffer the AA bottle opener.

 

[Golden Hall]

but then it turned out to be the balloon...
although the question still plagues me... why a balloon?

Because today is my birthday
