Systambolaget is the national Swedish liquor store. The Swedish items they are singing at the end are furniture items from the IKEA catalog. Falen Amen is a play on words. Falegname is Italian for carpenter. When this album first came out the band tried to do shows in IKEA stores but were turned down. Instead they had unofficial meet ups with their fans in the stores and hid band merch around the store for their fans to find.

I don't think they ever asked Ikea, actually. They just did stuff in their stores and were often kicked out for basically doing treasure hunts inside the store.

Excellent video! There are literally dozens of reaction-videos to this one, but you are the first one to explain the Hebrew-references. Kudos for that!

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!

A couple of trivia: The joke about Sasha Grey is more layered than it may seems. Sasha is a brand of bed frame (like kinsa is an Ikea bed frame). Both Sasha and Kinsa come in grey too. Amon amarth and Hammerfall (the guitar tech contributors) are swedish too, and systembulaget is the swdish sets of state shop where you can buy alcoholic drinks. By the way, Nanowar have a song with the singer of Steel Panther (the astronomical Uranus). And I strongly adivise you to check Glory Hammer

Since you like to get all the references, here's some more Trivia. - the movie playing on the tv in the background is Trading Places, that's aired every Xmas Eve in Italy - there was a scandal some time ago about finfing some not declared horse meat in the famous Ikea's meatballs - collecting pencilsfrom Ikea is very common for Swedish children - Swedish metal bands Amon Amarth and Hammerfall seem to hate each other - some scenes are quote from The Blues Brothers - the solo on a cliff is a parody of November Rain video - finalky the most interesting point IMHO, if you think about it Odin changes from cruel and mean in the first half of the song to friendly and caring in the Second half... As it happens in christan Bible, if you confront the Old Testament and the New Testament.

Fun fact (that someone might have already posted): the bass player for the band is an actual astrophysicist, and he speaks around 10 languages, including Hebrew

I'm so happy to find someone who gets all their references, and I think you're the first one I saw getting the Shema Israel reference. GattoPanceri666 (the founder and bassist of the band) is an astrophysicist, he lived for a while in Israel in Tel Aviv when he was there researching and teaching! He speaks like 10 languages fluently and many songs has sentencies in different languague ☺

All great movies!

They are just giving the Names of random Ikea forniture pieces. And They have a video of "Ikea furniture reacts to valhalleluja", just some pieces of forniture watching the song on a TV. Genius!

SOBER by Nanowar is extremely similar to " I'll sue ya" by Weird Al in that it is a style parody of another band with the message being the opposite of what that band usually say. Alestorm sing about drinking all the time, so a song about Sober pirates is a great pisstake.

Got to this video late but I had to comment it's a piece of art 😂 I'm also jewish and those lyrics in Hebrew got me laughing hard the first time. They are so good at this.

Actually my first time on this one. It's brilliant! As for their guest vocalist you're seeing a lot of him, he was in Warriors of the World too. If you like this sort of thing check out Leo from Frog Leap Studios, you won't be disappointed. Great reaction!

the swedish words are actually Ikea's products BTW the video was made on a very tight budget , all locations are places in Rome where some of the band's memeber has a friend working in and they let them in to do the shots for free

Both Amon Amarth (melodic death metal with a heavy influence of the viking era) and Hammerfall (heavy/power metal) are Swedish metal bands.

I'm not usually a fan of Viking/Scandinavian Metal. But this band is awesome! Don't get me wrong. Have great respect for their technical musical talent. Just don't feel it. Sabaton for example is very. Very. Talented. And as a history junky I love the historic themes of their songs. Great band. But I don't put on one of their albums when I'm cooking dinner. Like I do Zeppellin or Band Maid. This band I might actually do that. They're having fun and obviously are enjoying themselves. Not taking themselves too seriously. This was fun! Thanks Brother!😊😎✌🤘

Hail to Liechtenstein

You are the first to get the references to "Shema Yisrael" but being of Jewish descent helps. I only knew it from Arnold Schönberg's cantata "A Survivor from Warsaw" which is a memorial to the victims of the Shoah and ends with a choir singing the "Shema Yisrael" Not very metal but a powerful piece of music. kzread.info/dash/bejne/pHuLw8tpg6jWhbQ.html This band have so many references to things in their lyrics In Disco Metal they have Dante turn up and hand them a scroll then the lyrics go into Italian and they sing some Dante The inner nerd in me got me and I was laughing my ass off especially as it was very appropriate for the song.
