Jakehammaren Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Amon Amarth's new album, "With Oden On Our Side", is quite possibly their best album yet. It's very focused, very intense, and the melodies have a fierce beauty to them. Songs like "Asator", "Hermod's Ride to Hel", and "Gods of War Arise" just catapult this album to the top ranks of my list. It's incredible for anyone who loves great melodic Metal or Vikings in general (Boo, you might want to avoid this one). What does everyone think?

Goodbye, Face Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 [font=arial][size=1]So, Jake, I went and downloaded the cd with your recommendation and I'm probably going to go buy it soon. I've been seeing the band's name everywhere lately and I can see they deserve how many fans they have (or at least how much they've infected a few of my friends). I haven't listened to the whole cd yet, but I really love it so far. I don't really have anything specific to say about it yet, but I hate seeing your threads barren.[/font][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 I bought this CD this past Saturday to make Auburn's embarrassing loss not hurt so bad...it worked. Gods of War Arise and Runes To My Memory are my favorites. Anybody that can write "Bearskin on my back, wolf jaw on my head, Valhall awaits, soon I'll be dead" is pretty much awesome. I wouldn't fight them. -Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakehammaren Posted October 11, 2006 Author Share Posted October 11, 2006 ^^^My favorite lyrics from the album at the moment are either: "Son of Odin Thunder God Master of war Asator!" Or: "Sacrifice to Gods of old Bleed them of their lives Fresh blood on our swords Gods of War arise" Haha! Epic stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 "Some seek shelter in the church, A refuge for those with faith. But we know how to smoke them out, a pyre will be raised." Basically-freakin'-epic-as-hell. Good metal. Anyone got the new Napalm Death record yet? -Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amorphous Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 In my own personal opinion this CD is their wekeast effort, while not bad, I would rather listen to any CD before With Oden on our Sides. Especially, Sorrow Throughout the Nine Worlds and Once Sent from the Golden Hall. The CD is good, but the Gotheburg Death Metal styling is loosing its appeal.
