Of all the names that have come out of death metal over the decades, Amon Amarth is certifiably one of those names that hasn’t needed any sort of introduction for many of those years at this point. They’ve become the … Continue reading Amon Amarth – The Great Heathen Army
There have been many bands that have helped ease my way into the world of metal when I was first starting out in the genre with classic sounds like Manowar and Metallica being all but key to getting me into … Continue reading Amon Amarth – Berserker
In the world of metal, there are many bands out there that have made names for themselves in their own subcategories of the genre, and for melodic death metal the most famous group has to be without a doubt Amon … Continue reading Amon Amarth – Jomsviking
As one of the most renowned, known, and respected melodic death metal bands to have ever existed, Amon Amarth have never once disappointed their fans as each album that they put out is a vicious blast of viking mythology and … Continue reading Amon Amarth – First Kill (single)
I never want to hear the words “Sweden doesn’t make good metal” because that is bullshit on a scale of unimaginable proportions. Amon Amarth is one great example, and now another has come upon my radar. Gust’s self titled album, while short, has all-round amazing tracks that are hardcore and are the embodiment of the heavier of metal today if I to choose a band that isn’t well known. And that’s sad because Gust is one of those bands that deserves to be more well known along with other amazing bands like A Breach of Silence, Hate Division, and Gentrification (all of … Continue reading Gust (self titled)
I don’t know what it is with these Northern European countries like Finland and Sweden but goddamn can they make some awesome metal! While HammerFall, Amon Amarth, and Volbeat are just three examples that immediately come to mind there are of course many many other artists out there who have amazing talent and deserve a hell of a lot more attention that what they’ve already received. Grimace is one of these unknown bands. They have an amazing sound to them that hasn’t ceased to amaze me throughout the entirety of their debut “Gates of Mind”. While I’m gonna label this … Continue reading Grimace – Gates of Mind
I’ll be honest, I’ve never really liked King Of Asgard. I like viking and folk metal (whichever these guys are) to an extent; Amon Amarth and Ensiferum on a regular basis if you want examples. King OF Asgard was always something that I didn’t listen to but it’s always been under the “Maybe” category for bands I might want to listen to in the future. I saw that they released “Karg” and it went from “Maybe” to “Why Not”. Based upon what I heard of the band before hearing this album, I feared that I wouldn’t like this because it … Continue reading King Of Asgard – Karg
For those like me who can’t read Spanish for shit, the title of the album means “Chronicles of a Death Foretold” (thank you to my friends from Spain for that accurate translation). A really interesting title, but as I should’ve guessed. . . the entire album is sung in Spanish so I’ve not a fucking clue what they’re saying. But that didn’t stop me from enjoying it. Music doesn’t have to be sung in English to be good. Amon Amarth’s “Siegreicher Marsch (Victorious March)” is a great example of this. Anyway, while those who’ve read a chunk of my reviews can tell … Continue reading MorphiuM – Cronicas de una Muerte Anunciada
