i just recently got into amon amarth. ****ing viking gods. their front man's growl is so goddamn pleasing - and unlike a lot of whatever sub-sub-divided genre metal with similar growling, whether it be demonic or viking - you can actually understand most of what he is saying. the title track for 'the fate of norns' is particularly stunning. a viking burning himself and his dead son, calling for Oden from within the flames... gives me chills. the only album i have is the fate of norns - any of you metal heads know if it gets any better for this band? most of the time when i buy another album by a band blindly i tend to choose the worst one.

i just fucking love this viking shit - norse mythology ftw!
