One of the weaker tracks on the album i’d have to say, but none the less very good. The song ends with a ferocious scream of the name of the song. There isn’t much else to say about this song except that at about 3:45, a solo comes in for about 30 seconds. This song isn’t as fast or aggressive as the previous, but it has a heavier overall sound to it. Masters of War: The aggression doesn’t stop after the first track, and a pummeling riff emits from the speakers, the start of the second track on the album. This song doesn’t change too much, but it really doesn’t need to. About four minutes into the song, the intro repeats again, only instead of resuming to the intensity, some slower riffage is played till the end of the song. The verses are very fast and aggressive as would be expected of an album opener. This may be the most aggressive song on the album, and definitely showcases what the rest of the album will be like. After about 20 seconds, some incredibly fast double peddling comes in with fast guitars to accompany it, and Johan Hegg belts out a powerful scream. has been going through, and it actually curses quite a few times unlike the rest of the album (probably the only reason that this album is labeled “explicit”) To the music, it starts with fantastic start stop riffing and crashes from the crash cymbal. It actually is about all the problems the U.S. Here’s an analysis on the nine tracks:īastards of a Lying Breed: This song’s lyrics are very different from most of the band’s lyrics. Also, this album isn’t an album to fall in love with immediately, I found it quite bland till my fourth or fifth listen, so keep listening to it, you will most likely enjoy it eventually. Out of those five albums, i’d have to say that this album is my second favorite from Amon Amarth, behind the spectacular Versus the World, which is the band’s fourth album. I own all four albums by Amon Amarth from this album on, and i have four of the seven songs off avenger. I also find that this album seems to often be considered as the band’s weakest album, or at least among them, but i find that not true at all. The bass ins virtually inaudible, and is drowned out by the guitars, but close listening will reveal it. John Hegg also proves to be a very good death metal vocalist, and though his stylings only vary from high pitched screeches to low death grunts, i’d have to say that he’s one of my favorite vocalists in the genre. The guitar work is fast and aggressive, as is the drumming. Once again though, i don’t find this to be too huge as the music is still very good.
I haven’t heard their debut, but Avenger and This album could be a double album, and their three newest albums have very little differences between them. In fact, Amon Amarth isn’t really all that original as a band. This album is very similar to it’s predecessor, The Avenger in sound, lyrics, and hell, even the artwork is very similar. This is Amon Amarth’s third and last album to feature a thrashier, faster sound, as their later albums took on a slower, heavier sound. The lyrics on this album actually aren’t as cheesy as some later albums (but still undeniably are.) Here we have a very brutal, yet melodic piece of speed/death metal at it’s finest.
This may b a little off putting at first, but look past the album artwork. The artwork displays a viking with a long mustache rearing back to pummel what looks like a gravestone to pieces, while surrounded by hoards of flames. However, they replace knights in shining armor with.you guessed it.kickass vikings! One look at the album cover of their third album, The Crusher displays cheesiness at it’s highest. Much like many power metal bands, their lyrics tend to be very cheesy and fantasy-ish, a little strange for a death metal band. Review Summary: The third album by Amon Amarth, and their last to feature their orginal thrashier, faster elemnts.Īmon Amarth are a viking death metal band from where else? Sweden.
