Full of old-school gallop and intelligible vox, the Digipak configuration bonuses a DVD plundering three unflagging hours of live footage from Germany, a run of nights covering peak LPs The Avenger (1999), The Crusher (2001), and Versus the World (2002).
The heshers who crave this Viking death-march death-metal will have it, and those who aren't inspired by what they stream on the internet won't. Even with a lesser work, Amon Amarth have done their job.

One of the most prolific death metal bands from Sweden, they unleash here once again a powerful piece of work that is atmospheric, melodic and thunderous. Not their best work (that would be 2001's Versus The World), but as many have pointed out, even a lesser album by Amon Amarth is still very good compared to other metal out there.
