This album boasts yet more axe grinding rifts and sword sharpening lyrics that you have come to expect from these viking metal men. If your planning a siege or battle anytime soon make sure you strap a couple of speakers to your long boat and play it loud, your warriors will will hack and slash their way to victory as the mighty Amon Amarth crash out their mighty battle anthems from start to finish........ ALL HAIL VIKING METAL
Amon Amarth - Twilight of the Thunder God is, for me their breakthrough album. Every track on the 2008 release is fantastic. Fast, soul-ripping death metal from start to finish. If you're a true 'metal head' and you don't own this awesome album, do something about it fast and make the purchase!

This truely is one of the best albums I have ever purchased. Usually when you get an album, there will be a few songs that really stand out, a few that are ok and a few that are not so good. I can most definately say that this album is full to the brim with songs that really stand out. Kerrang said 'Every song hits you like a longboat' and i agree. Listening to this album made my hair stand on end. 10/10 for consistency of songs. This is the bands' 8th major album, and it is brilliant. They certainly are not running out of ideas. There isn't much you can say about this album that isn't good to be honest. Its just an overall brilliant album. The only thing i can say is LISTEN LOUD. This is because, if the music is too quiet, it is hard to hear the powerful defining guitar riffs over the other instruments and background noise. The lead guitar is a major part to the personality of the music, and it does tend to get drowned out by other things quite easily. Other than that (which is an unavoidable point in this genre), the album is perfect. If you like mythology, fantasy and great, powerful music, then this album is an absolute must.Read full review
one of the best metal albums that ive listened to. thumping, raw and best played as loud as is possible. best tracks twilight of the thunder gods and the hero
What a band must be one of the best thrash metal groups about and I loved every track on this Cd so full of energy and amazing story lines, I liked it so much i bought their DVD and was not disappointed with their live performance in fact I had to watch the DVD for several nights. The CD is highly recommended to anyone who likes this type of music.
