Finland produced the bravest vikings until those norwegian and swedish mongrels rose to power
Dear Vikings, it's manly men time!
sup vikings. I was wondering, um... Why is norse mythology so fucking badass compared to everything else in mythology?
>>2982 Yeah, there are jews like mort from family guy only they also have birth defects, and then there's jews that are like that tank commander.
>>2982 Assyria.
@ the guy claiming Aztecs are superior: bullshit. They got conquered by the Spanish. You know how much of a pussy nation you have to be to conquered by the Spanish? The Dutch kept a war going against them for 80 years and won. You know how big the Netherlands is?
Forefather's latest album Steadfast. It's really good. Download it. http://rapidshare.com/files/250853423/Forefather_-_Steadfast-2008.rar.html Does anyone know where I can get all their other material from? Torrents don't seem to work.
Aye. Fucking buy them off their site you leech.
>>2887 You're a good 2 and a half months late.
Album was OK but not great. Too many songs sounded too similar. A few standout tracks are definately worth listening, but I had to take most of it off my work playlist after a few days.
Hey, /norse/, what's your favorite weapon in combat? Mine remains the axe, (original, right?), but, effective, nevertheless. It can do some serious damage if you swing it down hard enough. Plus, small axe's aren't as hard to wield. Like a tomahawk, the head is very durable, throwing it can be mastered in a couple pratices. It also serves duel purposes, for chopping wood and hunting animals. So, do tell what your favorite weapon is.
a great two-handed club of course! Preferably with a strong metal covering in the striking area. Similar perhaps to the Kanabo wielded by the Japanese Oni.
Sup /norse/ I want to get a raven on each collarbone to represent Hugin and Munin. They have to be solid black to cover over one kanji tattoo on each side. Show me your best hugin and munin pics. Pic related
Hugen/Munin tats would be pretty boss. Have you thought about any stylized profile of a raven and then adding perhaps the names in runic letters?
I named my new kitty Freyja. Is this awesome? Yes, it's female.
>>2854 Nope, wrong. There's many versions of the name depending on language and time of history, but Freyja with the "y+j" is one of the most common, if not *the* most common.
Dude, call her Frøya. That's the Norwegian name
That's what I want to name my daughter, if I have one.
Greatest band ever or GREATEST BAND EVER?!
Get lost, you communist scum.
Yes, Absurd is a great band. Although I'm not sure whether they're truly Metal or just Oi! with a Black Metal production.

WHAT THE HEL. My runes didn't work properly. T___T
did you think the server would support what you yourself had to download?
fucking lol'd. let's clean this off the face of /norse/, it's an embarrassment.
Any one know of any other viking metal bands besides Manowar? Don't get me wrong Manowar is the shit, but I'm wondering if there are anyone else like them.
>>2823 Lindisfarne? wasn't that a late 60's band? or am i wrong?
thyrfing, borknagar, moonsorrow, enslaved, tyr, korpiklaani, amon amarth
>>2988 lol?
Didn't Vikings come from all of Scandinavia?
The vikings were famous settlers/raiders because their homeland sucks so badly most of the year... it's a depressing place where the main thing to do is drink yourself silly every night.
This thread amuses me. People like to remember things a certain way, it makes them feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Speculative guessing all around.
>>2442 >>2471 From my hobby historian uncle I heard that if the town was hard to take the swedes would send in the finns, since they were so ruthless. This was during the 30 year war.
