No offense to women, when Viking warriors died, a woman had to step up and offer herself for sacrifice to accompany the warrior on his journey to the other world. As you know, Vikings were burnt on a pyre set up on a boat, as fire was considered the fastest way for them of reaching the other world.
 
ohhh right. i remember seeing that in 13th warrior. weird that there isnt any in my 'german myths and legends' book though.

The key phrase here is "had to", they were often forced, and ceremonially raped before the burning took place. Nasty things...
 
bodom=wankers but i think they'll still be fun
hypocrisy will slay though. goddamn my new icon looks like a ripoff of patric's old one
 
i like bodom but they overdo the keyboards so their sound is rather cheesy. also their lyrics arent that great generally. like on HCDR so many of the songs are just about how "we're angry and we're going to kick your ass"
