AMON AMARTH

Release Year: 2008
Artist Origin: SWE
Style: straightforward powerful viking death metal

grandiose seventh studio longplay by new age vikings follows the apocalyptic Ragnarök myth with its catchy and epic music character, effectively expressed by utterly harmonious riffing with well-fitting solos aplenty, while thunderous rhythmic attack and Johan Hegg's overwhelming roaring vocal performance ensure these ten cuts are delivered in a sledgehammer-heavy way hand in hand with extreme music standards; effectively hitting the Billboard charts while skeptics are ready to prove that evidence of mainstream-jumping start showing on this release, the Swedes always find their strongest arguments as well, and the support of loyal fanbase is another important generator to move on with their titanic deeds
