Amon Amarth Surtur Rising

2011, The eighth long-player in Amon Amarth's winding discography, SURTUR RISING offers ten tracks of fist-raising, peck-flexing, hyper climactic fight anthems led by the fiery lungs of Hegg, searing rhythms and a volatile twin riff assault with a courser, more organic-sounding production to add more depth to their already consuming tone. Each track writhes under the weight of its own valiant heaviness with the band's signature Viking themes pulling it all together. From the first world war between the two clans of gods in ,,War Of The Gods" to the return of Loke, the god of treachery, in ,,Töck's Taunt - Loke's Treachery Part II", Amon Amarth manage to keep the Norse Gods glued to their headphones for 48 minutes.
