Asator

Excellent song. One of the things about Amon Amarth's music is that, when you know the lyrics, it's just so much better.

So.. Asator is Thor? Is that an alternate spelling?

@ heartbeats_xxx:

Yes, it refers to the umbrella term for the Pagan gods, the "Æsir". Is is quite common to call a god Asa-something, as for example Asator instead of Thor.

I was wondering about the asator thing too, thanks flag great song, by the way, does anyone get the same rush i get when they hear the roar before son of oden?

Asator should be pronouncec Åsator, (aw-sah-toor), as he does in the song, but it can be difficult to make out.

ZionsVillageIdiot: I do! It's like a sudden rush of power, an will unbeatable, an unstoppable desire to act, right now, right there .. usually ends up in a headband

Definitely about Thor, the thundergod. In norse mythology there are many stories about him fighting giants. That's what is meant by going to Jotunheim(land of the giants) to fight.

zion, dude, that scream over that riff is AWESOME!!!! always a blast when you got 4 guys in a car who believe they are vikings singing along with this song...we've gotten some weird looks haha

Asator is Thor, its just another name for him.

Thor's name in swedish is "Tor", and all the gods in Norse mythology were commonly known as "Asar". Basically, its just adding that before his name.

Excellent song. Viking Metal for the win. Though, I'm pretty sure some of those lyrics are wrong.

It should be

"Fire! His hate is pure, see the lightning strike!"

Not rage.
