Amon Amarth - 'War of the Gods' (Bloodstock 2024)
War, the very first war of our world
when the treacherous witch was killed
three times burned, the three times born
by searing flames was Gullveig torn
Death, Odin hurled his spear off with great force
deep into the great Vana-Fyrd
battle horns gave up their sound
and Asgård walls razed to the ground
The Vanir felt deceived Höne was a fool
without Mimr at his side Höne could not rule
in a fit of violent rage Mimr's blood was shed
and to Odin's court they sent Mimr's severed head
Truce, so a brittle and frail peace was forged
and to ensure that the peace remained
Njord and Frej to Asgård came
and Hön' and Mim' to Vanaheim
Death, see the furious gods wanting blood
Oden knew that a raging war
would not bring them any gain
just leave a black and bitter stain
Odin tog huvudet och smorde det med örter
som hindrade det från att ruttna
han kvad sedan trollsånger över det
så att Mimr åter kunde tala till honom
The Vanir felt deceived Höne was a fool
without Mimr at his side Höne could not rule
in a fit of violent rage Mimr's blood was shed
and to Odin's court they sent Mimr's severed head

Στο φετινό μουσικό φεστιβάλ Bloodstock Open Air εμφανίσθηκαν στις 11 Αυγούστου του 2024 (και) οι Amon Amarth κι έχουμε στην διάθεσή μας, σε βίντεο, την απόδοσή τους στο τραγούδι "War of the Gods", το οποίο κυκλοφόρησε ως single τον Μάρτιο του 2021 (με το τραγούδι "Destroyer of the Universe" στην δεύτερη πλευρά του βινυλίου), αλλά το γνωρίσαμε μέσα από τον δίσκο "Surtur Rising" (το εναρκτήριο μουσικό κομμάτι) που "βγήκε" την άνοιξη του 2011.
Οι Amon Amarth (οι οποίοι οφείλουν το όνομά τους στον J.R.R. Tolkien's και στο έργο του "The Lord of the Rings") υπάρχουν στα μουσικά δρώμενα από τα τέλη της δεκαετίας του ογδόντα (αρχικά ως Scum) κι έχουν κυκλοφορήσει μία... ντουζίνα ολοκληρωμένους δίσκους...
