Description:
Swedish Metal legends Amon Amarth need no introduction. 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. "A major change for us on this album was the sound and production," comments the frontman. "It was one of the main things we had discussed before going into the studio. We thought we needed to be a bit more aggressive and rougher than the previous two. We wanted a harder, tougher sound and I definitely think we got that."
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 "T"ck's Taunt - Loke's Treachery Part II," (Loke first appeared on 2006's 'With Oden On Our Side' studio offering in "Hermod's Ride To Hel - Lokes Treachery, Part 1"), Amon Amarth manage to keep the Norse gods glued to their headphones for 48 minutes. This is Amon Amarth at their absolute best.
For fans of: In Flames, Soilwork, Dimmu Borgir, Children of Bodom & Behemoth.
Special Edition features 2 Bonus tracks, 28 page booklet, Multi Panel Digipak.
Also bonus DVD with over 4 hours of live concert footage from 2008
