Rating:
8.0

The kings of the Swedish melodeath scene are back! Consistent as always, they have become one of the record companies' favorite bands: nice songs, huge popularity, unique style and additionally, they publish a new album every 2 to 3 years. Only a few bands assemble all these traits and Amon Amarth is one of them. On the other hand, some experimentation would be welcomed?

Chainer Witch Hunter Gen Posts: 172 From: USA	Permalink 16.11.2010 - 17:13 Chainer Witch Hunter Gen Posts: 172 From: USA Alright! Twilight of the Thunder God was enjoyable, but I would like to see something more with more 'death' and less 'melo'. Maybe a throw back to Fate of Norns, or Once Sent from the Golden Hall? Either way looking forward to this, hopefully album art and more details are out sooner rather than later. ---- Written by Dangerboner on 02.11.2009 at 08:11 Everything he doesn't like is metalcore. Britney Spears, Elton John, Michael Moore, and green beans are also metalcore, in case you guys didn't know. Loading...

worm_is_gloaming Posts: 150 From: USA	Permalink 23.11.2010 - 22:18 worm_is_gloaming Posts: 150 From: USA Hmm... last time they released the album title about four months before the album release, so we probably will stay hungry for quite some time on this one. I just hope it won't be a lazy "they'll buy it anyway" album, riding on accumulating hype and fame. AA formula is effectively simple, but with a lazy attitude it becomes fucking transparent. Some songs on "Twilight of the Thundergod" were for me somewhat lukewarm and lacking in passion compared to earlier ones. Some, not all. Loading...
