How far can you get in this song without cracking up?

Watch on YouTube

I got to 2:21 and then I got this image of Thor in Season of Mists singing about his hammer.

What a boring song! I can't crack up of I can't listen to more than 15 seconds. That's not to say that Blood Axis's work must be uniformly terrible -- their song Brian Boru is actually quite good. A lot of these neofolk/martial industrial bands, despite their unusual politics, can be very good, but I don't think I've found one yet that's consistently engaging (Neutral's Serpents in the Dawn might be the exception, as it doesn't have a bad track on it).

1:32: "I am the god Thor; I am the war god" over Montagues & Capulets.

I was gonna say, unexpected sample there...

[dubaiwalla.livejournal.com]

1:40.
Profokiev? Seriously?

[apperception.livejournal.com]

I got up to the vocals. That was it.

Your "current music" tag made me think of this song and LOL:

[mistersmearcase.livejournal.com]

I believe this is known as genre-fuck.

[lokilokust.livejournal.com]

michael moynihan is such an ass, and his music is just so fucking derivative and awful.

[one-serious-cat.livejournal.com]

"This is my girdle."

Surely someone else has put "Montagues and Capulets" to better use before.

[nom-de-grr.livejournal.com]

Holy shit this terrible. Have you been on an apocalyptic folk kick lately?

[sabotabby]

You can tell, huh?

(As a genre, I absolutely love it. This song is just hilarious though.)

[corvus.livejournal.com]

Oh, I love that song. That whole album is pretty great.

[lokilokust.livejournal.com]

lies and slander!
moynihan has yet to do anything great with his shitty derivative music or hos pathetic writing.
fuck him and the horse he stole and rode on.

[corvus.livejournal.com]

hahaha

Yeah. Blood Axis is definitely the more... comical aspect of that scene. At least he's not Boyd Rice? Though Boyd Rice is a tad bit more interesting.

You know who I can't stand anymore? Changes. I liked them more as a concept than an actual group. I think the whole Asatru thing ruined them for me.

[lokilokust.livejournal.com]

the thing with rice is that he's actually smart and talented, and really just taking the piss out of everyone.
whereas moynihan actually believes the nonsense he spouts.
i could never really stand changes, myself.

[corvus.livejournal.com]

I liked Changes but I think it's because I convinced myself that they were the evil Dylan or some such thing.

P.S. that song is horrible.

[burkesworks.livejournal.com]

Sounds like Laibach on elephant tranquillisers, recorded into a Woolworths cassette recorder in the bathroom of a no-star hotel in eastern Germany. Some neo-folk is very enjoyable, true, but this goes nowhere. Reminds me very much of a notorious privately-pressed krautrock album called German Oak, which Julian Cope thinks is great and I think is horrible.

"Vinland", eh? Does that mean they're really Newfies underneath all the cod-Germanic imagery then?

[rbowspryte.livejournal.com]

That is positively stupid beyond belief. "Reigh I forever"...over ass!

[moonwrangler.livejournal.com]

It's bad enough they stole my Norse heritage, then make shitty songs about it.

For the record, Vikings were all about interracial nookie and international trade.

You know that all* the neo-folk dudes used to be Trots, right?

* Well, some. Douglas P and Tony Wakeford were in the band Crisis, who played all sorts of anti-fa shows back in the late 70s.

[lokilokust.livejournal.com]

ayup.
wakeford eventually joined the national front.
and quit pretty quickly, eventually apologising publicly for his involvement.
