    Interview Questions: What do you want to know?

    In case they’d be contacted and asked to perform a movie’s soundtrack, I would be interested if they’d choose to go with the material they have or they’d rather like to write something new and unheard of? That’s what I would like to know. I remember Hegg saying...

    FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, MAKE AN INSTRUMENTALS ALBUM!!!

    That’s true. But I’d buy it anyway. But listen, you know what I’d really like to see coming our way? A Viking movie where at the end, on the credits’ screen it’d read: Music composed and directed by Amon Amarth! Now, there we’d get our instrumental version of whatever songs they’d use...

    Best 10 Amon Amarth songs

    Me too. Being asked to try and summarize what AA stands for in one track, Olavi answered: “DEATH IN FIRE”. :rock:

    Feedback from the youngters

    Well, from another ”oldandtired” fan that has listened like you to metal since forever… :Saint: Today's metal scene seems to be a lot more developed, complex and abundant. There is simply so much talent out there these days that metal bands are popping out like mushrooms after the rain. The...

    Surtur Rising cover detail

    I don't know whether I got it right or wrong, but isn't that Amon Amarth erupting behind Surtur's character? What you all think?:) Great cover, anyways.:kickass:

    Great Fredrik episode!

    I don’t know if you guys have seen this, but I recently stumbled on it and I was happy like a lamb! I want to share it with you. So here it is. Over 35 minutes with and about one of the best drummers in the world: Fredrik Andersson; Holger – his drum tech and a lot more...

    Surtur Rising impressions

    Firstly, I love it. All of it. And it has an incredible fast growing rate on me the more I listen to it. It’s somehow different then the Twilight Of The Thunder God. I think it’s a better thought through album. And the lyrics are amazing. Doom Over Dead Man caught me by surprise. I mean I...

    Video interview with Olavi Mikkonen

    I always LOVE to see an Olavi interview! :notworthy He’s so humble and so professional! Well, that’s the case with the whole band, but Olavi in special. He’s not as good at English as Hegg, but boy he’s got such a pleasant way of communicating and to pass his thoughts across… Thanks for sharing.

    Question about all the sub-genres

    Yeah. I kind of agree. I’d include heavy-metal among them though. The rest are sub-genres evolved from these six main-genres. and So much ambiguous discussions were born on these remarks. People, the reason bands within the same musical genre (or sub-genre) sound different is not due to...

    Top ten bands that ruined metal in your opinion

    1. Slipknot 2. Mudvayne (the two + all Nu crap) 3. Mötley Crue 4. Guns’n’Roses 5. White Lion (the whole glam metal phenomenon) 6. Enbilulugugal + Striborg (the whole extreme ”nothing but noise” black-metal crap ”performed” by ”bands” like...

    new album poser ????

    Yeah, I’ve checked it. :) That’ll be the reason why one of the posters in this forum stated that AA is gone completely country on “Twilight Of The Thunder God” track. Boy what an unconstructive exchange we had! Still, just because some bluegrass band decided to make a cover doesn’t mean that...

    The new Amon Amarth Sound.

    Personally I have no problem whatsoever with Twilight Of The Thunder God’s sound. Quite contrary. The older albums’ final sound-mix seems of poorer quality. Johan’s vocals are rawer and more unpolished, so to speak. I guess that’s the sign of time. Obviously, the band...
