Album Review
Death metal with some melody? Can it be? As evidenced by Amon Amarth's 2006 release, With Odin on Our Side, this dream seems to be a reality early on. On the album opening "Valhall Awaits Me," singer Johan Hegg's vocal lines aren't merely growled syllables. But don't be worried, longtime Amarth fans, it's not like the Swedish outfit has enlisted the help of Burt Bacharach to soften things up, as Hegg's vocals do resort back to the expected death metal growl soon enough, especially on such tracks as "Under the Northern Star." Yet all the while, Hegg manages to hold his own against the riffs and sometimes-Iron Maiden-esque guitar harmonies supplied by Olavi Mikkonen and Johan Söderberg. The aforementioned guitar duo also shows they have a talent for penning industrial strength riffs as well, evidenced by such tracks as "Hermods Ride to Hell" and "Runes to My Memory." Nothing remarkably new here, but for admirers of death metal with some added muscle, With Odin on Our Side shows that Amon Amarth continue to be champions of the worldwide death metal tournament.
Customer Reviews
AA fan!
New to AA but after seeing these guys on the uvtv video podcast I was hooked! Love their style and the vocals are fantastic to growl along to! The only track i'm not too eager beaver with is Asator, otherwise this album would be rated 10/10. So I'd give it 9.9 ;-) Love the tales and stories being told here, this is a new twist to death metal. I just LOVE it!! Why didn't I know about this band earlier? damn! Seriously everyone, give this album a whirl. Great lyrics, fast grindy riffs, fascinating tales to be told and I thank god for UVTV. My respects to the Vikings behind this great album. Yes, I'm going to buy the others from iTunes asap. Enjoy all.
The Manowar of death metal?
Ignore the reviewer who gave this album one star, he likes rubbish such as the Arctic Monkeys. Amon Amarth's unchanging and steadfast vision had me hooked instantly, Johan Hegg's voice is in top form and the viking death metal theme blends seamlessly with the thunderous drums and blitzing guitars. Just like true metal warriors Manowar, Amon Amarth will NEVER bow down to the commercialised metal tripe such as Trivium who are being forced down our throats, and thats a fact.
To the reviewer
The reason why it's "Death Metal with melody" would be because they're a "Melodic Death Metal" band. How can you never have heard a single Melodic Death Metal song before? Why are you writing a review for an album if you don't even know what it's genre is? Why are you even a reviewer if you haven't even heard of Melodic Death Metal?
