Just such a unique sounding album.

Godly album. The last two minutes of Desert Shadows is peak music.

Leper. For your ska-infused crust/ black needs.

For your ska/surf/reggae death metal needs.

I know you aren’t exactly picky but man these album arts are both instant turn offs for me

Terrible reason not to check something out.

 

[CiG]

Their best imo.

I think I always underrate this album because of a few transitions that I don't like and end up missing the forest for the trees. This is such a powerful album.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

Their best imo.

Very well might be. I'm only hearing it for the first time now. My previous chronological explorations of Amon Amarth always ended around The Crusher/The Avenger because those albums are so samey and boring. So I'm only now discovering that mid-career Amon Amarth kinda owns. Fate of Norns is killer too.

Fate of Norns is killer too.

Nice to see someone else who feels this way. I remember reception being lukewarm around the time of its release. The title track is great.

Huh I think The Avenger and The Crusher are pretty sweet, and yeah Fate of Norns is cool too. For me they start to go downhill with Twilight of the Thunder God.

I dig Twilight of the Thunder God, their sound is obviously commercialized as fuck by that point but it's a great pop metal album with nary a weak song on it. Haven't listened to any of the albums that followed yet.

I don't hate it, I just think it's the first sign of very plastic times to come. Very sterile.

How's the new Krallice?

I need to listen to it again, I feel like the whole album went over my head last night.

I have a similar problem when the album I'm listening to is too long or contains too obscure or muddy production for me to revel in its intricacies and nuances. I hate it to tbh. When I'm listening to something, I want to enjoy it fully, without any hindrances. But sometimes it's just unavoidable.
