Am 01. November veröffentlichen BROTHERS OF METAL ihren neuen Longplayer ”Fimbulvinter“, von dem sie soeben den Song `Heavy Metal Viking` als klischeeüberladenes 80er Video veröffentlicht haben. Klanglich ist das Track auch eher untypisch für die Metalbrüder.
Sänger Mats Nilsson gibt zu:
“‘Heavy Metal Viking’ has a sort of 80s southern hard rock feel, which is far from what you’d expect us to be doing.”
Den Titel der Scheibe erklärt er so:
“Fimbulvinter is ‘the great winter’ in Norse mythology. A winter that is colder and darker than all other winters and lasts for three years. It’s one of the first significant indications that Ragnarök is coming.”

Lyrics:
Woke up this morning, my shield in hand
Woke up the fellas in my metal band
I am a Viking, I am a God
Better believe it or I’ll tear you apart
Some may call me crazy, they know nothing at all
Cause I’m a heavy metal Viking and I’m on a roll
See me rollin’ in my long boat, you’ll go out of control
I got a heavy metal Viking soul
My quest is simple – my aim is true
Destiny’s calling, babe I’m coming for you
I’ll make you moan, then I’ll be gone
I’ll end up sitting in a giant metal throne
Some may call me crazy, they know nothing at all
Cause I’m a heavy metal Viking and I’m on a roll
See me rollin’ in my long boat, you’ll go out of control
I got a heavy metal Viking soul
My father is a mountain, my mother is the sea
And where the ocean meets the shore is where I came to be
I’m the perfect combination of magic and fantasy – I’m too good to be
I’m all you can imagine times infinity, times three
Just join me in my quest, your faith in me will set you free
Half man, half rock, half dream – I’m probably the best you’ll ever see
I am the ruler – above all
Get that, or get the fuck away from my hall
I am eternal, got abs of stone
Cause I am fueled by testosterone
You know that some may call me crazy, they know nothing at all
Cause I’m a heavy metal Viking and I’m on a roll
See me rollin’ in my long boat, you’ll go out of control
I got a heavy metal Viking soul
Viking is not a choice, it’s a way of life
To drink a barrel of mead without taking a break
To fight with any weapon combination
To cleave your best friend with a greataxe
