Surtur Rising j5k81spl u3d2wk q4y2b0 h0w4199i. I found it here: tinyurl/89pl85fr6nd135q4r48/87-6392 k257312 eu7yljcm / Amon Amarths eighth full-length album is an important one in their discography, because it follows their breakthrough disc, 2008s Twilight of the Thunder God. That album, laden with guest appearances (Children of Bodoms Roopi Latvala, Entombeds LG Petrov, the cellists of Apocalyptica) , was the Swedish bands most elaborate and powerful statement to date. Shockingly, on Surtur Rising they havent fallen short of the mark they set for themselves three years earlier. The albums ten songs are typical anthemic Amon Amarth tracks, built for headbanging and chanting along with the powerful, warriors-code choruses. Some, like Destroyers of the Universe and War of the Gods, but particularly A Beast Am I, are among the fastest songs the group has ever recorded, while others, like Tocks Taunt: Lokes Treachery, Pt. II and The Last Stand of Frej, are slow, even brooding. The production has a bit more aggression than Twilight had, but the songs are arguably even catchier this time out, with some surprisingly clean guitar leads and atmospheric melodies emerging from the hair-spinning roar. A few subtle production flourishes -- the sounds of clashing swords on War of the Gods and crying ravens on Tocks Taunt, plus some strings on For Victory or Death and the album-closing Doom Over Dead Man -- bolster the sound somewhat, but other than that its up to the five members of Amon Amarth to keep the listener happy with nothing but guitars, bass, drums, and Johan Heggs barrel-chested roars, and they do that with admirable skill. Theyre one of the most consistent bands in metal, and this is a terrific example of them playing to their strengths. Phil Freeman, Rovi / e5hk16mw, kh6d3fks. Disclosure: tinyurl/n36ja76
