Amon Amarth "Surtur Rising"



Amon Amarth being one of my favorite bands, I had high expectations for this album. I listened to this album through about five times, trying to like it more than I knew I actually did. I waited so long for this album, and when the track "War of the Gods" came out I was pleased with what I heard, hoping that the rest of the songs would meet up to the standards of the first released track. When I heard the rest of the album I can say that I was disappointed. I am a fan of the early Amon Amarth albums and "With Odin on out Side". To me this album is going in the same direction that "Twilight of the Thunder God" did, an album which I personally didn't like much, lacking the excitement of the prior albums. There were a few tracks that did catch my attention, including "Live without Regrets" and "Destroyers of the Universe".

Overall:


(I have decided to do little reviews of the new metal albums that come out.)
