I already tweeted this, but a buddy of mine has also been on a quest for more metal and decided to give Amon Amarth another look. His review of Deceiver of the Gods, their newest album, is “this will make you want to get drunk and wear a Viking helmet.” And honestly, it’s pretty accurate. This is great battle metal, Viking battle metal, where you want to land a boat on fresh beaches and loot and pillage.
Hell, a couple friends who also watch Vikings on the History Channel described it as “an hour-long Amon Amarth music video. Except when they go to Uppsalla, then it’s a Korpiklaani video.”
So here’s Deceiver of the Gods. Enjoy!
And there’s a full on “dude was just stabbed with what I can only assume was a trident” sound effect at the start of a track called BLOOD EAGLE on that album. \m/
