Nordic Folk Metal (55%), Heavy Metal (35%), Hard Rock (10%), Powerful raspy male baritone lead inspired by Ashmouth and Keith Kent from Da BASStard Inc, Heroic, melodic and arena-ready with thunderous drums, heavy rhythm guitars, soaring lead guitars, cinematic strings, subtle nyckelharpa, Turkish bağlama, expressive ney flute and occasional darbuka percussion, Includes a Turkish instrumental bridge where bağlama leads, ney answers and heavy toms build before returning to the main riff, Secondary narrator “Killacat the Crooner” uses a deep, smooth theatrical pirate-radio voice for spoken intro and outro only, Strong call-and-response between lead singer and full band with shouted “HEY!” responses, massive gang vocals, male choir and a huge final unison chant on “THE VIKING WAY!”, Warm, humorous and welcoming

[Intro] Ladies and gentlemen... Let me present to you... The man everybody knows. Or at least... Everybody has heard of his... ...wait for it... LEGEND-ary Listening Parties. People submit from all around the world... Just hoping he'll play their song Friday night. If you get a spot... You're one of the lucky ones. For better... Or for worse. And here's the funny part... He wants to be... A little more Scandinavian. I'll tell you why... [Verse 1] Constantinople, the New Rome, When the Empire was divided. Miklagard to the northern men, Who came by longship, far and wide. Varangians they were called, Today we call them Vikings. Sworn to serve the Emperor, In the mighty Varangian Guard. [Chorus] Brother from another mother! (HEY!) In Türkiye! (HEY!) Brother from another mother! (HEY!) Keeping Friday... THE VIKING WAY! [Instrumental Interlude] [Verse 2] The city still stands As Istanbul, Where old and new Collide. In the newfound land, Where Viking Leif went, Daylight still lingers Across the West. Evening for us In the Old World, But over there, The sun won't rest. [Chorus] Brother from another mother! (HEY!) In Türkiye! (HEY!) Brother from another mother! (HEY!) Keeping Friday... THE VIKING WAY! [Verse 3] Every Friday He drops the anchor, Welcomes every soul Aboard. From first-time artists To old companions, Everybody gets Their turn. Some will joke About his mighty chin. He just smiles And lets them grin. "Legendary chin," They like to say... Still the kindest face You'll meet that day. [chorus] Brother from another mother! (HEY!) In Türkiye! (HEY!) Brother from another mother! (HEY!) Keeping Friday... THE VIKING WAY! [Outro] Raise your horns... Raise your voice... [In Swedish] SKÅL BRODER!! Tonight we set sail... Not over sea... But through new songs... Of AIU. [Spoken] ...Now you know why.
