• Watch The New Amon Amarth Video

  Here’s a video of the title track of Swedish Viking death metallers Amon Amarth’s upcoming Twilight Of The Thunder God full length. http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=42875280 Mmm… cheesy! At least the music is sounding good. The band is totally corny, but at least it’s fucking heavy, the same can’t be said for 99% of the popular metal bands [...]

• Amon Amarth Set To Release New Full Length Offering

  Blabbermouth is reporting that Sweden’s Amon Amarth have recorded a video for a track from their upcoming full length offering Twilight Of The Thunder God in September on Metal Blade Records. “We recently returned from Poland after shooting the first video for the upcoming album Twilight Of The Thunder God. The video will be for the [...]

• Vintersorg “Ödemarkens Son”

  Upon initial reaction, this is the type of album any upstanding human being with some self-respect might shoot him/herself for liking. Vintersorg merges folk with a heavy power metal sound, guitar heroics and lots of melody abound, and if you dare to stick around, there’s some silliness in the ground… (but if I am [...]

• Prophanity “Stronger Than Steel”

  I don’t usually laugh when listening to CDs, but Prophanity’s Stronger Than Steel has me laughing so hard tears stream down my cheeks. I don’t know if this is supposed to be a serious release or what, it has to be a joke. I think Prophanity is supposed to be a black metal [...]

• Mithotyn “King Of The Distant Forest”

  I remember when I first got this batch of promos I asked a friend if they’d ever heard of a band called Mithotyn. They told me their debut album In The Sign Of The Ravens was an amazingly good album. Respecting my friend’s opinion I tossed in their latest release King Of The [...]

• Manegarm “Vredens Tid”

  I make it no secret that I like the bombastic folk wankerings of Finntroll and fellow Finns Korpiklaani. Yeah, the shit isn’t very brutal, grim, harsh, or menacing, but there’s this weird, goofy quality about the music and a sense of rhythm and melody that make up for it. It’s drinking music at its finest, [...]

• Forlorn “Opus III: Ad Caelestis Res”

  More decent second rate viking metal, whatever value that holds. Track 4 ("Shadow Cult") reminds me a lot of Novembre, if anyone remembers them. Some clean vocals, keyboards and melodic rhythms do well to capture a strong cultural feel, and one could likely find themselves dancing to track 2 ("Legions Of The Empire"). [...]

• Amon Amarth “With Oden On Our Side”

  Swedish melodic death/viking metallers Amon Amarth are back with their 6th full length offering With Oden On Our Side. Being a long-time fan of the group I was expecting to be instantly enthralled with their latest opus, however, I was surprised to find it took me many listens to warm up to the newest Amon [...]

• Amon Amarth “Versus The World”

  Before I get into the music, I have to start off by saying that the artwork for the past two Amon Amarth records are somewhere between pathetic and hysterical. One look at the cover and you’d swear it was intended for a Manowar release. If you’re able to get your laughter under control [...]

• Amon Amarth “The Crusher”

  It’s been three years since I heard anything from Amon Amarth, as Metal Blade dropped me from their promo list several times and I missed out on the band’s last effort The Avenger. The last album of theirs I heard was Once Sent From The Golden Hall, and after hearing their most recent full [...]
