that'd mean they sound like Iron (Fucking) Maiden, Dio, or Black Sabbath. Amon Amarth is melodic death metalVIKING METAAAAAAL, haha but on a serious note, I'd just describe them as metal I suppose.
What are they then?
Diddy
On Topic: Not a fan of Amon Amarth, I'm a huge fan of Black Metal, hence it's my obligation to adopt the "guilty until proven innocent" mentality towards Swedish Death Metal bands.
Maybe Entombed are just too awesome?What's specifically wrong with the swedish?
Not death metal. They're melodic death metal, and that phrase is wrong in its self because you cant really have melodic death metal, it kinda... isnt possible. I guess melo death is an okay phrase for it anyway. Theres small elements of death metal, but thats about it. And well its definatly not Swedish Death Metal. They may be from around there but they dont sound like early Entombed so that case is closed.

are you a Pit Monkey?.
