This album has grown on me over the last year or so. Seeing them live back when they only had released Black Future is one of my most memorable live metal experiences!
Kinda disappointed, to be honest. I kinda had a bad feeling about this album after the first two singles, so I wasn't terribly surprised by the fact that it's kinda mediocre. Maybe it'll be a grower, who knows?
After one listen, Shield Wall is the catchiest song. I did an Amon Amarth binge earlier in the year and it was a good reminder of how awesome some of the early albums are. The last really good one was Twilight of the Thunder God.
