Poll - Best song off the Varangian Way?

British Viking · March 10th, 2008, 04:21 PM

Your opinion entirely. For me its Five Hundred and One, although Miklagard Overture and The Dnieper Rapids don't run far behind

Off the bat, I liked M.O the best, but as I listened more and more I'd have to say Five Hundred and One followed by D.R.

Alasdhair · March 11th, 2008, 02:39 PM

Cursed be Iron is a pretty darn'd impressive track!

Blind Eye Halo · March 11th, 2008, 04:29 PM

A Portage To The Unknown, for me.

Phoenix_heart_opera · March 16th, 2008, 11:38 AM

To Holmgard and Beyond, just one vote, and that's from me. Wow!

Unbelievable, 'cause the song is huge.

VictoryFeast · March 18th, 2008, 07:24 PM

Cursed be Iron

*Mika* · March 19th, 2008, 06:53 AM

I'm a little teapot

aka A Portage to the Unknown

makesbobo · March 19th, 2008, 09:48 AM

My opinion is To Holmgard And Beyond

that song i the best, second is Five hundred and one, the third is Portage to Unknown

UtterCreep · March 22nd, 2008, 02:31 PM

A Portage to the Unknown. Something there that makes me want to go on a raid.

Closely followed by Cursed be Iron and Miklagard overture.

Salubele · March 22nd, 2008, 07:40 PM

I voted for A Portage to the Unknown. I just love the lyrics.

Oddity_13 · March 29th, 2008, 07:36 AM

To Holmgard and Beyond is thw most similar a track off Battle Metal, so it would [maybe] take first place. I didn't like Cursed be Iron when I first heard it; now I fucking love it. In the Court of Jarisleif is just a great track and you can tell it'd be awesome live. Miklagard Overture...

I didn't vote as I cannot choose.

Fullangr · March 29th, 2008, 08:43 AM

I've got the Director's Cut and there's no option for Rasputin....

Of the main album, Jarisleif or Miklagard Overture. I tend to be dangerous listening to the latter loudly.

AxioM · April 17th, 2008, 02:59 AM

Miklagard Overture is the most epic song i have even witnessed live ,,well, second to battle metal!

taiteilija · April 20th, 2008, 05:57 PM

umh, i was undecided: jarisleif or dnieper rapids...?
But In the Court of Jarisleif is really original (for me).... I vote for that.

Einherjar86 · April 29th, 2008, 10:06 AM

Five Hundred and One

"Long is the way to the unknown,
Long is the way we have come;
At the head of the ships a horn was blown,
We sailed off with the morning sun...
Five Hundred and One..."

GmT-Curwen · April 29th, 2008, 10:51 PM

One of the hardest choices I made in my life (?) but in the end, A Portage To The Unknown prevailed.

Harley D · April 30th, 2008, 07:13 PM

I voted To Holmgard... a while back but would change it to Cursed Be Iron if I could. I absolutely love that song now.

seraph7 · May 2nd, 2008, 09:39 AM

Just voted now. God this was hard... I had to go for In the Court of Jarisleif because I love it.

I'd love to see a video of the song but seeing as it's a 'Rasputin' B-side that's unlikely to happen

Element_man · May 2nd, 2008, 01:02 PM

The Dnieper Rapids, no question whatsoever. I love everything about the song.

Tatsumaru · May 2nd, 2008, 01:21 PM

For me it's a really tough decision between Miklagard Overture and Five Hundred and One. Even though the whole album is amazing, those 2 songs really stand out to me because of the huge amount of EPIC running through them. In the end I'm a sucker for long epic tracks, so I vote for Miklagard overture.

Even though I didn't like the female choir at the end of the song at first (didn't know the lyrics back then and I felt Nygard should have ''ended the album''), I grew to love it and... it's just so damn awesome. A great end to a solid story and an amazing album.

Iron Mammoth · May 5th, 2008, 11:20 PM

To Holmgard and Beyond is for me!! But the album is very solid throughout.

PowerMetalJesus · May 9th, 2008, 12:38 PM

Love the whole album but Holmgard and Beyond is just too epic not to choose.

British Viking · May 10th, 2008, 12:17 PM

The Dnieper Rapids is a really overlooked song. Can't believe only one person voted it.

cholo11 · May 11th, 2008, 11:24 PM

Fields of gold. I just love that song.
