    On this album, the band sounds like masters of their craft, and in so doing, have given us one of the most rousing metal albums of the year.

    The potential guitar soup and airless drum patterns of death metal is helped along by Bogren's crisp production. And with Twilight of the Thunder God, they've written a set that takes full advantage of experience and polish.

    Alongside "With Oden on Our Side," Twilight of the Thunder God just might be the strongest record Amon Amarth has written thus far.

    Not being a death metal fan, i was completely surprised by the cohesion and quality of the production. This is a very good album even better than With Oden on Our Side!!!… Expand

    Never before had I felt such intense urges to grab my ax and pillage a town. Indeed, I didn't know such urges were okay and desirable. That all changed after listening to Twilight of the Thunder God. I finally knew that it was okay, and that Amon Amarth had perfected the art of it. Intensely good metal album. I was very impressed, and commended their ability to be innovative in a genre that is often very narrow indeed.… Expand
