Amon Amarth is unveiling new album artwork today on Reddit. I bet it's solid, fluorescent orange, and it's called The Beard Album.

I got a mental image of a ship full of grim, bloody Vikings rowing away from a freshly sacked, burning village. A bloody battlefield aftermath would be sweet, too. Maybe these were already done. AA album covers just blur together.

Just happened to have a look on the EMP merch store and it looks like they've spilled the beans early.

Album title is Deceiver of the Gods.




*edit* Tracklist:
Deceiver Of the Gods
As Loke Falls
Father Of The Wolf
Shape Shifter
Under Siege
Blood Eagle
We Shall Destroy
Hel
Coming Of The Tide

Comes out on June 21st.

Edit: I've never really gotten into Amon Amarth before, whats the best album to start with?

With Oden On Our Side is by far their best album, after that you can then look at their older albums if you want rougher/harsher stuff (such as The Avenger), or their newer albums if you want more cleanly produced stuff (like Twilight of the Thunder God).

Evocation's last album sounded pretty similar to modern Amon Amarth. Is that what you're thinking of?

Holy poo poo, I just listened to a track they had on their website (Divide and Conquer) and they couldn't have ripped off Amon's Pursuit of Vikings any more if they tried.

Just came here to post this too. I'm really digging this track, even more than the previous one. I don't know how they keep managing to be simultaneously both heavy as gently caress and extremely catchy, while maintaining their signature sound without sounding stale or repetitive.

loving Blood Eagle, man


But then... Hel....

Yeah Hel is a weird one. It's not a bad song per se but it's not a very good Amon Amarth song. Fortunately I think it's the only weak link on the album, Coming of the Tide is fairly average but everything else is solid as hell. Standouts for me are, as you say, Blood Eagle, Shape Shifter, and We Shall Destroy, while Warriors of the North is a suitably epic closer (8 minutes!).

So I didn't realize that the SE of the new Amon Amarth comes with a 4-track "covers" EP. I put covers in quotes because they're actually original songs but done in the style of Priest, Sabbath, Motorhead, and AC/DC.

These songs are actually kinda awesome. Is that Johan doing the Ozzy-impresson on Satan Rising?

It is indeed a pretty cool extra, makes a nice change from the usual making-of DVD or live footage. I'm 99% sure that it's not Johan on Satan Rising though, I think it could be Messiah Marcolin again.

Here's the tracks in question:

Burning Anvil of Steel
Satan Rising
Snake Eyes
Stand Up to go Down

Am I right in thinking it's ACDC, Sabbath, Motorhead, and Priest, in that order?

I thought there was some live recording where they did the play the whole thing, but I guess I was making it up in my mind. I really should get around to watching their DVD set that I bought.

Edit: Sorry for the double post.

That would be the 2008 Bloodshed Over Bochum concerts, where they played their first 4 albums in their entirety on four consecutive nights. The audio from those gigs comes on each of the respective Reissues of those albums, and the video from all the gigs is on the DVD with the special edition of Surtur Rising.

Look into King of Asgard if you want more Amon Amarth'ish viking metal. I'd recommend checking out the Fi'mbulvintr album first over ...to north since it's a much stronger album.

Bloodshot Dawn have just launched their kickstarter for their second album. Their first album was absolutely killer, especially so for being entirely self-funded, check it out here if you haven't heard it, some of you might know them already because I first heard about them through this thread. New album is sounding great from the early demo stuff they're shown, so consider backing this for sure.

I feel the need to point out that this is from the bonus disc from their last album, where they did 4 original songs in the style of Motorhead, Priest, Sabbath and ACDC (have a wild guess which one that was). I really quite enjoy that one and Satan Rising to be honest, pretty catchy.
