Nordick posted:Yes, it does. It's simultaneously loving badass (because it's Amon Amarth) and loving beautiful and tragic. The last lines of lyrics just make me well up like a bitch. Exactly. I think that's the thing I like most about Amon Amarth. I don't know how he does it, but Hegg can impart a lot of emotion with his growls so that songs about drowning or laying dying with a spear in your back are simultaneously  and tragic.

My Amon Amart recommendation is to just take one song and put it on repeat and then spend your money on other albums that don't all sound the same.

So to continue this, if I like the last 5 albums by Amon Amarth what other sorts of music should I get into. I don't really listen to any other growling bands, but something about them just clicks 100% with me. I'm otherwise a huge fan of Iron Maiden and Judas Priest, which aren't exactly the same sort of music.

If you want all of the galloping of Maiden, some viking bullshit, excellent melodic sense and tolerable harsh vocals look no further than Ensiferum. They were one of the first bands to ease me into the Scandinavian metal scene and to get me to appreciate harsh black metal-style vocals. Their first two albums are my favourite, but honestly all of their output is pretty good. Also, this is the best bonus track around. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2eoXrHEE8c velvet milkman fucked around with this message at 23:16 on Jun 22, 2012 |

I'd checkout other melodic/NWOBHMish death metal bands like later Death, later Unleashed, and later Carcass. You might also want to check out some power metal more that uses heavier vocals side like 3 Inches of Blood or Ensiferum.

SgtScruffy posted:Good. When I saw them a few years ago, they didn't play anything off of Mindcrime, and only played one thing off Empire That setlist looks amazing. I saw them 2 years and they mostly played stuff from their most recent albums, which I'm not really familiar with and don't care about. Still was cool to see 50 year old dudes running around like they did

Morbid Florist posted:I think Fate of Norns is their only poo poo album. There's no reason not to have the rest of their stuff. It's the only album where all the members recorded their tracks individually, without any of the other band members in the studio. You probably picked up on that, somehow. They've said they won't ever be doing that again.

Two years ago at Metaltown Hegg said that they'd been called "old and tired" after their last gig and then proceeded to blow the whole festival to pieces. I can't not love Amon Amarth. The Sound of Eight Hooves is such a badass song.

nuncle jimbo posted:wait what are they going backwards? why? Probably want to end with Fight Fire with Fire as a mini-finale. And I never got why James hated escape so much. I like the song even if it was obviously an attempt to get a radio friendly single out because of producer pressure. It's sad to see that James's voice is having trouble with this stuff but I guess that's nothing new. He just can't reach the high notes that he sang the pre-Justice albums with anymore.

They did the same thing when they played the Black Album all the way through, Lars said some mess about starting with lesser known songs from the end and ending the show with the ones everyone knows. I imagine with Ride they thought "well, why not do it again?"

Has anybody here listened to Luca Turilli's Rhapsody "debut" album, Ascending to Infinity? It's actually pretty good... although I still can't get my head around the name and font.
