Amon Amarth

I didnt see them when i searched it so this must be a first.
I personally love these guys everything they make is pure gold to me. I thought Versus the World and The Crusher were just amazing solid albums. They very talented musicians lead by a great death metal vocalist Johan Hegg. Any other fans?

I like them alright. I first heard them on the 06 metal blade sampler, I cant remember the song title but I remember it was amazing...

i like them fine. one of the better melodeath bands.

They are like the AC/DC or Motorhead of their genre, you always know what to expect and the fans don't mind it.

I like them. Viking metal rules!

I'll second that.

I've liked them for a long time, every time i listen to them I get this urge to pillage though.

These guys rule! Great epic type stories with the music to match it.

Watching their new recording video diaries are killer as well. Really looking forward to their new album!

I'm a big fan of the first four albums but it seems that the last couple are just going through the motions. Seems that the more success they have, the safer they play it.

I'd like to hear them play with a bit more venom like they did on the MCD and first full length.

Well, HEY!, what do you know. I discovered another death metal band that I enjoy. Just played "With Oden On Our Side". I dig it. Simple, melodic, heavy death metal. Reminded me slightly of Bolt Thrower at times, perhaps because of the war references and some of the slow-to-mid-paced riffs.

I like them. Again another band with only killer albums. I really like With Oden On Our Side. Can't wait for Twilight Of The Thunder God. This will be released on 19 September.

Well, Hey! I love Amon Amarth. My first experience with them however was the terribly recorded "Army Of Darkness", so I always saw them as a joke. Until I picked up some of their actual stuff, they kiss ass.

I'm seeing them at HOB with Ensiferum. VIKINGS YYYARGHHH!

great band, love 'em. can't wait for the new album.

twilight of the thunder god is a sweet song.

I have only heard "With Oden On Our Side", but it is a killer album. They are also a great live band.

This new album is amazing! Got it as a promo.

What I've heard has been enjoyable, and I'm not much of a death metal guy, mostly because of the vocals. Great guitar work, and you can actually understand the lyrics. First saw them on HBB a couple of years ago with their video for "Pursuit of Vikings." Simultaneous windmilling hair during the main riff. What a hoot! And I also get to use this smiley!

they put another song up on myspace, it's pretty sweet

Ult, your description is right on point. I would have thought you'd heard their music earlier.

I like the cover of the new album.

that's really kick ass

I do too!!

Listen to With Oden On Our Side this morning. That album rocks.

I like Twilight Of The Thunder God, it seems to have more diversity than their other releases. The digipack version has a dvd with bonus songs and live footage from Summer Breeze 2007.-TJ
