Music reviews of Twilight of the Thunder God (W/Dvd) (Dig)
Music Review: 100% All Killer,No Filler
Rating: 5 Stars
Amon Amarth are an awesome viking/melodic death metal band. I got into them when I bought "With Oden on our Side" over the summer, and I instantly loved it, and I became a fan of Amon Amarth after that. I recently picked up their brand new album "Twilight of the Thunder God" which is their seventh official release and it's the second AA album that I proudly own thus far. This is definately the best album that Amon Amarth has released thus far, and not to mention it's already one of my heavily favorite albums of 2008 as well, I just love it. This album is just simply a 100% all killer, no filler melodic death metal masterpiece that's brutal, vicious, and aggressively heavy yet beautifully melodic beyond words, I really don't know what else to say. It also features guest appearances by Children of Bodom guitarist Roope Latvala, LG Petrov of Entombed and the cello metal outfit Apocalyptica as well. Jens Bogren once again handles the production on this album, and he never fails at that. The musicians are definately in top form here. Johan Hegg's vocals are strong, monstrous and powerful throughout, and they definately pack tons of heartfelt emotion on here. Johan Soderberg and Olavi Mikkonen really shine and shred on the guitars with sharp, heavy headbanging riffs and catchy melodic leads and solos. Ted Lundstrom's bass does a nice job with following and keeping up with Johan and Olavi's guitars, and Fredrik Andersson does a fantastic, solid, all around work behind the drums, and he also does an absolute killer job with his double bass kicking as well. Every song on here is just awesome and memorable, seriously, there's not even one bad song on here. The opening song "Twilight of the Thunder God" is an excellent, catchy, fast paced headbanger that immediately gets things pumping with fast, churning riffage, relentless double bass drumming, monstrous growls, and a great chorus, and let's not forget that awesome guitar solo by Roope Latvala. This is definately my favorite song on here and the reason I got this album. The next two tracks "Free Will Sacrifice" and "Guardians of Asgaard" are both excellent catchy and heavy mid tempo monsters that both feature awesome monstrous growling choruses while "Guardians of Asgaard" features a nice, beautifully soaring melodic guitar solo by Johan Soderberg, as well as guest vocals by LG Petrov. Track four "Where Is Your God?" picks up the fast and brutal pace again with ruthless, punishing skin pounding, aggressive riffing, and catchy striking leads that will make you hum along in sheer delight. And let's not also forget both "Varyags of Miklagaard" (which is very addicting and melodic, especially during the chorus) and "Tattered Banners and Bloody Flags" which are both great epic metal classics as well. Track nine "Live for the Kill" is another awesome track that has some excellent double bass drumming and riffing, and there's also another good guitar solo as well as a beautiful, melodic cello string section by Apocalyptica to boot. The tenth track and album closer "Embrace of the Endless Ocean" is an epic, beautifully melodic closer that features great guitarwork that is just downright melodic and addicting, and a nice catchy mid tempo drum beat, and there's also a gorgeous harmony lead near the end as well. Please read on for the song ratings.
