Surtur Rising

I recon that Odin opened the Gates of Valhalla and gave Amon Amarth his personal book of monster riffs. Seriously. From the opening track to the last Amon Amarth sledgehammer your ears with a wall of metal sound containing quite honestly some of the greatest guitar riffs of all time. Brutal but catchy. Screaming but melodic.Make no mistake. This is a tour de force of Nordic Metal. Honestly I think this may just be one of the greatest metal albums ever to have been created. And the odd thing is that I'm generally not a fan of growling vocals having cut my teeth on the NWOBHM back in the day. Amon Amarth manage to be as heavy as it can be but retain a sense of tune and melody. It's bloody awesome to be honest.And I only started listening to them about a month ago as well. Since then I've bought all of their albums most of which are superb. This, however in my opinion is the best. It pulls me from me from my very rock core and appeals at a level that is almost primaeval.Anyway, if you are thinking about this band then don't hesitate. It's a stunning album on all levels.

Awesome from the Norse metal machine that is Amon Amarth , the vocals are a strong point as ever , courtesy of man mountain Johan Hegg , but it's the sheer intensity/ferocity of the music that makes amon amarth such a force ,As a bonus there is a cover of system of a down`s Aerials on my kindle version which is f***ing awesome !!!Buy it , buy any of their albums

My favourite Amon Amarth's album.They've got the power. They've got the melodies in the raw hurricane of sound. Classic melo-death masterpiece.Not that I wish for it, but I think this is their peak as a band.\m/

Awesome metal at it's best fast furious if you need something to adrenaline your fuse box play it loud.

Awesome CD

Há tempos não escutava uma banda de metal extremo que eu me identificasse tanto quanto o Amon Amarth. Melodias, refrões poderosos, temas fantásticos ligados a mitologias são as principais características dessa ótima banda. Não é o melhor album do grupo, mas vale a pena a aquisição.

They just keep getting better don't they? I listened to this on repeat for about 3 months when I got it, I love it :-)

Good hard core rock

Album della band melodica death metal da non confondere con il Viking Metal che ha sempre mitologia norrena ma più soft e senza l' uso del growl. L'album è composto da dieci canzoni si parte con: War Of The GodsTock's Taunt - Loke's Treachery Part IIDestroyer Of The UniverseSlaves Of FearLive Without RegretsThe Last Stand Of FrejFor Victory Or DeathWrath Of The NorsemenA Beast Am IDoom Over Dead Man, che chiude un album devastante come solo gli Amon Amarth sanno fare.

Schnelle Lieferung alles bestens

Souffle épique tout au long de l'album , inspiré ...

El disco engancha desde las primeras escuchas, con una gran combinación de velocidad y medios tiempos junto a unas melodías inconfundibles que son ya marca de la casa. Además de la voz de Johan Hegg, que sigue en plena forma y lo confirman como uno de los grandes dentro del estilo. No es un disco tan redondo como "With Oden on Our Side" o incluso el anterior a éste "Twilight of the Thunder God" pero no defrauda lo más mínimo.Algunos dirán que la formula es algo repetitiva y puede que tengan razón. Pero cuando haces algo a la perfección y funciona a las mil maravillas, qué haces? Una evolución a lo qué sé yo... Opeth? (Y soy un gran fan de ellos que conste). Desde luego no me imagino a Amon Amarth sonando en los siguientes discos como Anathema (Otra banda de la que soy un gran fan, desde su primer disco al último, y eso que parecen 2 bandas diferentes). Por lo que por mi pueden seguir haciendo "lo mismo" si es con este nivel de calidad.Y si sois como yo, de los que disfrutáis con las voces guturales y el Death Metal, yo no metería en este saco a quien sé yo... Sepultura?

OK...this is just damn good! The musicianship is outstanding, the songs are great, the overall sound is great - this is just a great album! Recently saw these guys at the Mayhem Festival, and they can do this stuff live! Wow! Don't let the "Viking Warrior" type pictures on the covers put you off - if you like loud, nasty heavy metal, buy this album!
