NANOWAR OF STEEL - Valhalleluja (ft. Angus McFife from Gloryhammer) | Napalm Records 

"Great literature has always been a source of inspiration for heavy metal bands. J.R.R. Tolkien for Blind Guardian, H.P. Lovecraft for Cradle of Filth, The Holy Bible for Stryper and now The IKEA Catalog for Nanowar Of Steel." whoever wrote that description deserves a raise , or atleast a Christmas Bonus

Epicness with clear instructions and in multiple languages.

napalm: Hey thomas, would you be interested in doing a collab with nanowar of steel. Thomas: I am not sure, christmas is on it's way napalm: you get to wear your angus mcfife cos- thomas: *hold my gloryhammer*

"just like Jesus I'm a carpenter/ forging shelves with the hammer of Thor" Give that lyricist a Pulitzer, a Nobel prize and the keys of the kingdom!!

I secretly played this on the speakers of our home a night before Christmas, and nobody noticed me doing my daily quota of worship to Odin/Prince Angus McFife. They thought it was a Christmas song In Hoots we Trust

RU-vid: Hey dude you wanna hear Angus McFife as Odin singing about IKEA? Me: As a matter of fact I would, thank you.

It’s not Christmas until Angus Mcfife as Odin sings about IKEA!! Happy Valhalleluja friends!

Children: Santa Claus exists Adults: Santa Claus doesn't exist People of Culture: That's a weird way to spell Angus McFife

"We want you to hold a hammer and play gentlegod Odin the reformed carpenter of Ikea in a metal gospel viking Christmas song with a few political undertones" "You had me at hammer"

You know what I like about Angus McFife?? The dude is taking his heavy metal career seriously.

"GUITAR TECH OF AMON AMARTH" Wait, he killed the frost giants AND engineered Amon Amarth's sound? Odin really is all-powerful.

Let's mention the toolkit for building a viking ship, consisting of screwdrivers + pencil + shield + axe + beer at 3:12

I thought all metal was angry and dark but then I discovered power metal and no song has made me laugh so hard in ages 😆

I just discovered this song. Where are you all my life??!!

Damn, I got goosebumps when Angus started singing... This is actually great music.

So what happened is that Angus McFife won in his epic galactic battle with Zargothrax and sacrificed himself to stop him and had such a dedicated following of people in his world he ascended to Godhood, damn right!

The description killed me, Napalm have the best description

I wonder how many times did everyone have to redo the scenes because of laughter.

Ma religione + mobilio = credenza ?

Nobody: Me and my mate: We will be "jewish vikings" Nanowar of Steel: "Shema Yggdrasil, Odinai eloheinu" Well, it is pretty seems to be confirmed there is a "thing" now...

I've watched/listened to this dozens of times and I just now got the "Knisa grey is better than Sasha Grey" line

it's not the premise... or even the way they executed it... it's the total commitment to the concept and not wavering half way through thinking "nah, this was a dumb idea"

Avevo paura che firmando per diventare un gruppo serio sareste diventati un gruppo serio. Grazie a Odino non è stato così

See, THIS is why I love power metal. I can't think of a single other genre where not only would a band do this (with guests, even!), but that it would be so well-received! Alright, now I need to get this stuck in the heads of the gaming group...

I'd offer my right eye to hear Sabaton cover this

560 people from Nicaragua and Azerbaidjan didn`t like this song.

My brain: What is this? My soul: Should I ask to real me? Me: I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE HELL IS THIS

By the way, the choir is called "Flowing Chords" and it's a very talented bunch of guys and girls. You should most definetely check them out.

We need a song about Blåhaj

As a Dane I can confirm this is exactly how we scandinavians celebrate christmas.

THIS is the level of satire and silliness I need in my life

Oh my god! I just remembered, they are singing about IKEA and live in concert they broke out a cheap IKEA corner coffee table and assembled the furniture on stage while singing the song. So good

its that time of year again

Seeing intergalactic space hero wielding Gloryhammer posing as Odin singing about Ikea furniture is a first for me

Hit dell'estate: check Canzoni natalizie: check Adesso aspettiamo San Valentino 😂🤘

Pray for the comfort! Hahaha thank you very much from Spain for this great song I enjoyed it a lot.

i just love the absolute energy in this, like come on it make you wanna get up and groove

Can't believe what started as a parody band ended up like this. I was going to high school when I discovered True Metal of Steel-era Nanowar. Now they're awesome :) Slick song-writing!

It's all fun and games until you get lost in an IKEA.

So glad I didnt read the title so Angus apperance was a pleasent suprise for me

Thank you my lord Odin, for letting me discover this awesome band!

"Knisa Grey is better than Sasha Grey" I... I got nothing.

These italians are the best thing that happened in Heavy Metal world Hahahahahahahahahahahha

I bet all the down votes are from the people that always complain "Vikings didn't have horns on their helmets!!" LOL.

A masterpiece. The part with Winkler is mind-blowing.

This has to be the single most epic shit I have ever listen to, holy metal moly

Knisa grey is better than Sasha grey 🤣🤣🤣

I wish everyone a truly Valhalleluja Christmas.

I love that mix hebrew, latin and Swedish languages :D

I am dying with laughter in full public! Christmas has just been saved! 😂

God I love being Nordic, we really are something to be in awe of

This song is too much. Literally every moment has something to discover. Here's another nugget. Ora pro nobis means pray for us in Latin. But it takes on a whole different meaning here. "Prey for your kitchen. Ora pro nobis." Not only does it mean pray for us, it's also the name for a Brazilian cactus used in a variety of dishes.

Let’s make this the official Christmas song. See you in December

I laugh like a madman every time this pops up on my playlist.

Happy New Year 2022!!! Best wishes from Moscow!!!

This is one of the stupidest things I've ever seen I love it

Walking round IKEA will never be the same again

Italy rockz!!! Greetings from germany! Hail to Italy!!! :D :D :D

I find it simply heretical that IKEA hasn't used this as an advertisement yet

“So what religion are you?” “Furniture” Edit, 2024.20.09: Hope you lads are doing well. Had 2 more kids since this comment. Still revisit this every year. Cheers.

An entire religion centered around Angus McFife. Honestly I'm surprised it took this long.

Having a ridiculous idea and committing to it 100% will always, always be glorious.

When Angus is inevitably ressurected in the next Gloryhammer album, I fully expect him to be introduced with the title of MASTER OF IKEA

Nanowar of Steel: We don't know where they are (refering to Nicaragua and Azerbadjan) Me, an actual Nicaraguan: I find it relatable.

italian band, singing about a swedish company, whilst worshipping nordic gods in hebrew, and with a scottish odin, this is globalism my friends

"That's not Odin!" "Oh yeah? Who is he then?" "He is the prince of the Land of Fife, noble and true with a heart of steel!"

When you only have 6 minutes to commit blasphemy against as many religions as you can think of.

Ascendent Odin McFife: - appears in the sky - sings about change of occupation from war to carpentry - praises IKEA - leaves without elaborating further

"Infinity War is the most ambitious crossover in history." Napalm: "Hold my Hammer."

Everyone: "Dont' worry, metal-gospel isn't real, it can't hurt you" Metal-gospel:

I had no idea, I need a metal-gospel song praising ikea furniture in my life.

This is the best Ikea commercial I have ever seen.

"Metalheads are always angry and can't make a joke." "Hold my furniture"

I'm an IKEA worker. And seeing this... I just... I think my jaw is in the Southern hemisphere, and my sides are speeding up past Mars. Because this is great. I can't play this in the store, but I'm sharing it to every colleague I can!

I'm from Nicaragua and I also don't know where I am.

These guys are the Weird Al Yankovic of power metal.

As a swede I can confirm that this is what swedish Christmas is like

1994 - Mariah Carey: "I will make the best Christmas hit ever!" 2019 - Nanowar of Steel: " hold my beer horn "

1: write a song about IKEA as a religion 2: ask your friend Angus if he wants to play Odin the furniture God 3: ??? 4:Profit

This song is for my brother who loves Gloryhammer and works in IKEA

IKEA should seriously think about sponsoring Nanowar (of Steel).

"Audio production by Christian Ice" "Ft Angus McFife" What a universe, gentlemen

Random guy: "I bet you that you can not do a funny and humouristic Power Metal song that sounds really good and it is irreverent to at least three religions in just 6 minutes". Nanowar of Steel: "Hold my furniture".

The last time I was this confused and amused, I had just discovered Gloryhammer. I... I'm so goddamn confused and I think that's a good thing.

The video is subtitled but if you want to take your time to read the lyrics here they are: I am drowning in a sea of desperation And I sing a prayer to my Lord Away from hope and systembolaget And I sing a prayer to my Lord I pray, I pray, yes I pray to my Lord! I was down on my knees Permafrost on my feet I was begging in tears my holy Lord - Odin Hear our prayer, philantropic Odin Guitar tech of Amon Amarth Viking-friendly, Slayer of the Giants Guitar tech of Hammerfall as well For the plunder and the rape we sing to you Valhalleluja For the chopping of the heads we praise you Odin, our Lord For Normandy, Britannia, Greenland, Scandinavia sing Valhalleluja But for Nicaragua, Azerbaijan we don't sing at all... We don’t know where they are! Valhalleluja! (Shema Yiggrdasil) שְׁמַע יגְדרַשְׂאִל (Odinai Eloheinu) אוֹדינַי אֵלוהֵינוּ⁠ (Odinai Ehad) אוֹדינַי אֶחַד Hear my voice this is Odin calling you Times have changed, I'm a gentlegod No more war just design of furniture Master of IKEA Just like Jesus I'm a carpenter Forging shelves with the hammer of Thor Gloria patri furnituribus In nomine IKEA! For the BEDDINGE and the KIVIK sing with me Valhalleluja For the wooden TV bench with storage space and paper foil For the pencils and the horse-meatballs we sing Valhalleluja The ergonomics and the quality of your chairs Are second to none Valhalleluja! Our Father Odin Who art in IKEA We understood your message We are here to worship your creation Please listen our prayer VITTSJÖ - Ora pro nobis Laptop stand, black-brown, tempered glass KNOPPARP Small sofa with a big heart and a perfect fit BESTÅ TV Bench with doors, black-brown, grey-green SLATTUM Upholstered bed frame, Knisa light grey Valhalleluja Gloria, gloria Let us pray to Odin our Lord Valhalleluja Falegn-amen Let us pray to Odin our Lord

I love that Odin is just Angus McFife with an eyepatch.

this is vikingmetal band names ikea names and glory hammer somehow this is the best thing ever

Girl on our 1st date: "So, what's your religion?" Me: "It's difficult..."

Can confirm this is how Swedes celebrate christmas: We sing prayers to our lord Odin, we party, then we read from the holy texts with instructions on how to assemble the furniture that IKEA has brought us.

just imagine this song in Eurovision....12 POINTS FROM EVERYONE

UK: Father Christmas USA: Santa Claus Germany: Weihnachtsmann Italy: Angus McFife

I will tell my children that this is a classic Christmas Carol

Giorgio Mastrota riding to the valley of Achnasheen alongside Angus FILF Prince of the Twilight-Fife, to fight Zargothrax who's mounting on zombie unicorns with IKEA-crafted saddles and wielding 1810 Evil Steel Pans. This is ecstasy

For those wondering; Systembolaget is the only place in Sweden that sells strong liqour. x)

Legends says, that there is a band called "Manowar" who makes parody songs of the mighty Nanowar of steel.

That epic moment when Christians, Hebrews and Norse Pagans celebrate Christmas, Hannukkah and Yule at the same place.

Makes me remember the time Dio answered Jack Black's prayer

Also, the original for that particular stuff sounds like "Shema Israel, Adonai Eloheinu, Adonai Ehad", which roughly translates as "Hear Israel, the Lord is your God, the Lord is one", and they wrote it as "Shema YGGDRASIL, ODINai Eloheinu, ODINai ehad", which sounds just about something only Nanowar would pull off.

For his deeds in the war for the galaxy Angus McFife is stripped from his mortal bounds and ascended into godhood to become Odin Gentlegod of IKEA.

Okay, I FUCKING LOST IT at "hear our prayer, philantropic Odin, guitar tech of Amon Amarth" AND THEN IT JUST KEPT GETTING MORE INSANE 😂😂
