    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

    Preposterous guilty pleasure. Highly recommended to sort-of metal fans who dig preposterous guilty pleasures.

    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!!!

  1. Amon Amarth sticks closely to the same sound and approach that got them this far in the first place.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
