OPEN MIC WEEK 42- A cover of Amon Amarth's "Raise Your Horns"
Hello Steemian Friends!
I'm back this week with an ode to the fallen from this awesome fucking metal band that sings songs of war, death, and the age of the viking, Amon Amarth!

Lyrics
Victory we fought hard and prevailed
Brutally we were fighting
Stormy seas rolling thunder, piercing hail
Battlefield lit by lightning
Eagerly we filled the waves with enemies
Hungrily ravens cawing
Home shore calls
We return on bloody seas
Twilight falls
Darkness crawling
So pour the beer for thirsty men
A drink that they have earned
And pour a beer for those who fell
For those who did not return
Raise your horns raise them up to the sky
We will drink to glory tonight
Raise your horns for brave fallen friends
We will meet where the beer never ends
No regrets we went out to war and strife
To protect king and country
Victory honor those who gave their life
Willingly we will not grieve
So pour the beer for thirsty men
A drink that they have earned
And pour a beer for those who fell
For those who did not return
Raise your horns raise them up to the sky
We will drink to glory tonight
Raise your horns for brave fallen friends
We will drink tonight
Raise your horns raise them up to the sky
We will drink to glory tonight
Raise your horns raise them up to the sky
We will drink tonight
Raise your horns raise them up to the sky
We will drink to glory tonight
Raise your horns for brave fallen friends
We will meet in Valhalla again

I hope you enjoyed my much more mellow version of this song!
Please show support for me and other steemian musicians, 53 of us to be exact and go download the entirety preferably of this compilation brought to us here in Midgard by the mighty shield maiden @soundlegion

Last but not least a big thank you to our host @lucypher and @pfunk
Hail Odin!
Awesome job! I really enjoy being able to compare your version with the original. That was a great idea. Keep posting 😊
Yeahh~!!! Hail Odin!!! That was a really cool song man, great visuals in the lyrics.
great job man , \m/
Nice one, man. Thank you.
I liked your version Brother! What I really liked was you sharing the original with us for comparison. You rocked it and I liked it!
Yeah I do that primarily for people who may have never heard of some of these bands before. I'd have to hazard a guess that not many metalheads are on steemit yet. I'm trying to work on that.
Maybe they just haven't gravitated to open mic yet.....after all, it doesn't sound that heavy. Or they are quietly lurking......
I've been to convince the owner of http://metaldevastationradio.com to start blogging their podcast and interviews and such on here to grab a following here and become part of the community here as well. The best thing to me about metal is the tribal aspect of the community and I think they'd love it here.
Hopefully they'll jump on board and share their podcasts with us here.
