1 billion stars for this one

 

[Fuel80]

Great song!

 

[CompulsiveFacebreaker]

Great tune, I have high hopes for this album!

 

[Thimon]

Very good one as well, doesn't kick ass as much as the other two do though

Damn when will finally be the 25th?

 

[Tomasz]

wasn't blown away on the first listen, yet to form an opinion

 

[Cressida]

surtur rising must have leaked it's all over youtube and it sounds fucking awesome can't wait to receive my copy and DVD!!

I was the same way, but I listened to it a few (dozen) more times, and I now think this is one of my top 3 favorite Amon Amarth songs.

mods delete above/below or you do it yourself, come on guys I'm trying to wait here 'till fuckin' CD arrives at my door steps, don't temp me and others

 

[DamageInc.]

only listened to it once, sounded ok... didnt blow me away like the other two... but still a good song!!!

At first listen I thought this one was pretty mediocre compared to War of the Gods and Slaves of Fear. I was a bit disturbed by the almost keaboard-like guitar popping out here and there.

After listening to it about fifteen times or so, I must say that this is a big grower. Pretty much on one level with the other two songs. The middle part is absolutely awesome

i would prefer AA not to use other instruments (or effects) other than guitar, bass, drums, and growling vocals (no clean ones)

but the song is great

Can't wait for lyrics to be posted for this song. I've always liked AA's more melodic songs.

This is still guitar, just sounding a bit keaboard like ^^

For violin/cello stuff you can hear in the background (there is something going on there or am I mishearing this?): as long as they don't overdo that I'm totally fine with it, cause these are beautiful sounding instruments, which can add a LOT of atmosphere to a song.

I was and still am, though the song as a whole is still great and there is no misstaking it for anything other than AA.

I'll come back once I've heard it live, might have changed my mind by then. Also will be interesting to see how it sound on the album in comparison to the other songs and the flow of the album as one piece.

I think the cellos sounded great on Live For the Kill.

It's sounding like it's going to be the most melodic and least heavy song on the album.

Yep that's a great part! Cello is a wonderful sounding instrument. Just listen to this for example: http://www.myvideo.de/watch/5072393/Apocalyptica_Farewell

Enjoy, I did

i did too.

i remember in video interviews Johan mentioning they've always wanted cellos in their music. Adding synth/keyboard allows for featuring Apocalyptica when they play live(as in the past)which will sound much more badass. Kudos to AA for evolving
