QFTThe Greys said:Omnipotence is just plain out killer. The 8 song demo cd they have before that album also smokes. The band simply just had no luck at all ever.

their website doesnt work so goodDodens Grav said:Xtreem Records JUST reissued this album with a bonus demo.
Ex-cally-boo said:Yeah, well there are no points you can make. It is a fact that they are not Viking metal.
Yes, a fact. It is a fact that bands genres are NOT determined by the lyrics they use. It is a fact that AA play the deriitive Gothenburg "Melo-death" style of music, which means they can not be Viking metal, which is reserved for bands like Einherjer and Equilibrium.Funeral Portrait said:A fact? You must be the almighty music rule maker!
fuckin dork
THEY ARE JUST BULLSHITTING PADDYS NAN SAYSSusperia said:That's really smart of you to say that. I hate when people reply with four dozen bands you'll never have time to look through completely, just so that they look knowledgable.
Yep, Amon Amarth are a melodeath band, through and through. Viking metal is black metal-ish. That is not to say that Amon Amarth are bad, though.Ex-cally-boo said:Yes, a fact.

If you really want to use that stupid term, not that you would want to, I'd apply it to bands that use the whole "fanfare" like keyboards like Bal-sagoth and Turisas. It sure brings me to a battle field.High On Maiden said:I hate the shit term "battle metal" even more, because magazines seem to use it for any band with medievalistic, warfare lyrics, irrespective of music style.
edit: admittedly, godawful magazines like metal hammer, but nonetheless, it spreads a really stupid phrase
