THE VIKING SHIP

Once limited to particular viking or folk metal bands, ’the Viking ship’ has spread across COPENHELL like wildfire, and it can now happen spontaneously at any show.

No one really knows why it happens. There are no rules, no commands – just a shared understanding that “Now we row, goddammit!” Suddenly, big parts of the crowd will sit down in perfect synchronicity and start rowing like berserkers headed for Valhalla while the drummer pounds like the apocalypse’s helmsman.

Important: The Viking ship is not at all compatible with mosh pits, circle pits, crowd surfing or walls of death. If it happens around you, just sit down (this ship doesn’t need a mast). Forget all about your taxes, your sunscreen and your sins, and row as if your life depended on it!

Alternatively, you can stand safely on the shore of the imaginary body of water and laugh at the spectacle together with the rest of the audience, or you can hatewatch together with the ’trve’ metal fans while the madness unfolds.
