what is your guys opinion on amon amarth? and can you reccomend me what you think their best work is?
 
Once Sent To The Golden Hall
Versus The World
With Oden On Our Side
Fate Of Norns
The Crusher
The Avenger

:kickass:
this band owns so much it's not funny
 
Once Sent to the Golden Hall
Sorrow Throughout the Nine Worlds

However, The Avenger has the band's best song, "Last With Pagan Blood"
 
Masters Of War, Death In Fire, Asator, or Once Sent From The GOlden Hall are their best songs, imo.

Anyhow, Sorrow Throughout The Nine Worlds and their other very early stuff is included on Versus The World, although it's shadowed by the pure ownage that is that album.
 
VtW didnt do much for me. I much preferred the bonus disc, though I already owned STtNW.

Fate of Norns and The Crusher are the band's worst
 
The Crusher is meh as an album but it's got Masters of War, The Sound Of Eight Hooves, Bleed For Ancient Gods, and As Long As The Raven Flies, which all kick ass.

I also highly recommend the Wrath Of The Norsemen DVD set.
 
great band! versus the world is more mid tempo and has a great dark atmosphere to it and is considered their best album...i like their newer stuff alot as well (with oden on our side and versus the world)
 
fate of norns was in between those two albums, tbh
underrated album, imo. Pursuit of Vikings is nothing to special, sure, but An Ancient Sign Of Coming Storm? The Beheading Of A King? Once Sealed In fucking BLOOD?
 
err...woops.
thing about the avenger, it's got Last With Pagan Blood and Bleed For Ancient Gods, but it ain't got much else...
 
I cannot recommend as you ask. I can only recommend you get all four of their great albums:

Versus The World
Fate Of Norns
Once Sent To The Golden Hall
With Oden On Our Side
 
1. With Oden on Our Side
2. Versus the World
3. Once Sent To The Golden Hall
4. The Crusher
5. The Avenger
6. Fate of Norns

thats exactly my List... you copied it from my head :loco:

but to name a couple of songs I can recommend from each Album
1. ASATOOOOOOR!!!! :headbang::headbang::headbang::headbang::headbang:
2. Death in fire
3. Friends of the Suncross
4. Releasing surturs fire
5. METAAAALWRAAAAATH
6. Pursuit of Vikings (good Live song)

but I enjoy Thor Arise a lot, from the 1993 Demo. but actually your not doing any mistake by buying just every fuckin CD that got Amon Amarth on it.
 
"Across the Rainbow Bridge", "And Soon the World Will Cease", "Under the Northern Star, and "Where Silent Gods Stand Guard" in mine.

those are all fantastic as well. those are their slower songs, but yeah. Amon Amarth is another fantastic slow, ominous song.
 
^ indeed
I still recommend Once Sent based on the bands in his sig though
Better, get both at once.
 
Only really got into Amon Amarth a few months ago, so haven't managed to listen to all the albums enough times to be able to tell which is the best, however I agree that you can't really go wrong with any of them, with the possible exception of the earliest self released stuff, due to the shitty production. However, I would suggest that to fully appreciate them, you have to see them live whilst drinking copious amounts of mead froma 2 pint capacity ox drinking horn. Trust me.
 
Indeed. Live they're a fucking juggernaut. In fact, the best introduction to the band might be to pick up Wrath Of The Norsemen, their 3 disc-five concert dvd set. Especially since you can get it new for like $15 from Best Buy.
