Few bands would try to burn one count of blood and violence Viking warriors known as the Vikings forged in northern Europe and parts of America North during his time as the embarkation of persons dominate region. Yet that is exactly like Led Zeppelin chose to open his third album, aptly titled Led Zeppelin III. "Written by the band during a tour in 1970, which was landing in Iceland, Robert Plant have been inspired by the history surrounding the small nation, and decided to dedicate a song to the famous Nordic explorer Leif Ericson. Ericson had been credited not only with the discovery of North America long before that Christopher Columbus did, but also plays an important role in the creation of a Viking settlement in what is now Newfoundland.

A gust sound power of Led Zeppelin Immigrant Song opens with a disturbing rise and fall plants cry, almost similar to a battle cry would call the foredeck of a Viking ship. The song goes on to detail the origins of a people of a land of "ice and snow that feel anything stronger than his desire to explore and conquer the planet. One of the most enduring songs of the track has been the central reference to the "hammer of the gods" and this in turn of the phrase has been used by the media for decades to describe everything from Led Zeppelin music to its harmful effects on the room. Some people even have gone so far as to link the images of the song with the enormous popularity and power metal in the Scandinavian countries.

The band enjoyed playing the song live, and used it to open its concerts for a period of two years. Guitar riff pounding drums and the song makes it an excellent tool for pumping a crowd. Once again over the protests of the band, the song was released as a single in the U.S., and performed reasonably well, peaking at number 16. Led Zeppelin was never interested in the idea of releasing singles, and used to play with the management of the label with the promise of reaching a particular song specifically for individual liberation - a song which, of course, never materialized.
