Congratulations to WikiBrother Eddie Gonçalves who won the Amon Amarth CD, “Jomsviking”! Check out the winning answer:
– In the midst of a storm, it couldn't be any different, without a doubt "Embrace Of The Endless Ocean". The feeling that this song conveys is out of this world. The guys really manage to put emotion into the music and make you feel like you're on the boat.
The character's struggle as a slave throughout his life, finally able to return home. And when, in a twist of fate, a storm catches him by surprise and destroys his boat, you can feel his anguish. You think, "So close... yet so far.".
The captivating solo, the rhythmic drums, and the final message capable of further engaging the listener: "Father, I died alone."
Listening to this song makes me feel like a Viking on a Drakkar returning home. Listening with headphones is even more intense, the emotion is tripled, so there's no other song I would listen to in the middle of a storm other than "Embrace of the Endless Ocean".
