Sweden is definitely one of
the strongest countries in the world right now when it comes to death metal
and Amon Amarth is among the top bands in this genre. Crushing guitars,
aggressive growling, a heavy sound and nice subtle melodies makes this album a
very nice death metal release. Perhaps it´s not the best album this year but
if you are into death metal you will hopefully not be disappointed by these
ten tracks. With a production from Lars Szöke and Peter Tägtgren they also
sound pretty much like Hypocrisy. That means that they are not playing the
usual kind of Swedish melodic death metal but a little slower and heavier.
Important to mention is that the melodies are still there but sometimes they
are buried deep in the music so that you may not notice them until you have
listened to the album a couple of times. Showing the true face of powerful
death metal Amon Amarth is in the game to stay and it will be interesting to
see what they can accomplish in the future. Metal Blade has really got one of
the strongest death metal roasters in the world at the moment and Nuclear
Blast will have to watch out in the future, that´s for
sure.
