Album: Surtur Rising
Band: Amon Amarth
Reviewer: Prime & Cunishment
Amon Amarth, with the releases of With Oden On Our Side and Twilight Of The Thunder God being fantastic releases, they have done it again with yet another jam packed album full of power and energy.
This album starts off with War of the Gods which was released before the album release itself to give the listeners a feel for what the album will offer, thankfully it had set up the right atmosphere for when the album was released. Each song has its own specific amount of "power" to make you wonder if the next song after will be able to beat it. Not beat it in a way where the song before was not as good, but beat it in a way to keep you listening until the end of the album. This album does just that. It makes you want more and more. Personally, I have gotten through this album 5 or 6 times since the release, I can't help it, I always tell myself "im only going to listen to this one song", but with this album, and this band in general, it's almost impossible to do so.
When War of the Gods was released to the public for listening, I thought that would be my favorite song off the album, but that's not the case after these last few days, my favorite song as of late would have to be "Wrath of the Norsemen". It starts off quiet, and leads into something "headbang worthy" and powerful. The vocals are absolutely perfect and the right amount of dark to really grasp how badass this band can get. The guitarist is also a spark of genius:

My only advice: Go pick up this album.
