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

    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.

    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.

    Twilight of the Thunder God merely refines these elements, but the tune-up is noticeable. In a discography filled with catchy songs, these are some of Amon Amarth's catchiest.

    Amon Amarth sticks closely to the same sound and approach that got them this far in the first place.

I was very impressed, and commended their ability to be innovative in a genre that is often very narrow indeed.… Full Review »

    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!!!… Full Review »
