    Listening to this record will increase your deadlift max by sixty pounds and make your beard grow ten inches. It's another epic ax-bludgeoning that will allow you to pick up Thor's hammer and fight to the death in gladiatorial Viking battle. Thank Odin they haven't pulled a Metallica and become a bunch of hipster pu$$ies. The perfect soundtrack for your next pillage.

    This record have the propriety to make you feel like a viking, which the last album Deceiver Of Gods didn't have. It is less streamlined than previous.

    The sheer, unreconstructed manliness and testosterone that flows through every riff takes you right to the heart of whatever battle Amon Amarth are embroiled in. [2 Apr 2016, p.52]

    The best parts of the record remain firmly in tact: The story is remarkable easy to follow and doesn’t suffer from gaps in logic or unnecessary turns toward the convoluted and you never get the sense that the band does anything but believe in the story itself.

    Jomsviking effectively distills all of the band's predilections into one big, dragon-headed longship of an album, sails aflame and headed straight into the mouth of Valhalla.
