With Oden on our side (CD, fra Amon Amarth

There probably isn’t a band in metal that has received as huge a popularity boost in recent years as Sweden’s favorite vikings AMON AMARTH. Want proof? Successful headlining tours of Europe and appearances in the top positions of festivals such as Summer Breeze, Wacken Open Air and PartySan. Furthermore, their last album "Fate Of Norns" climbed to an unbelievable position 31 in the German Media Control Charts, while reaching position 56 in Austria and landing 7th in the metal chart and 77th in the album chart in their home country.

The soon-to-be-released successor "With Oden On Our Side" will see the band conquer new heights. Never before have AMON AMARTH sounded as varied, melodic, balanced and tight as on this new masterpiece. Every single track is a true anthem that will have all fans, old and new, raise their drinking horns towards the northern night skies.

Reason enough are Johan Hegg giving the best vocal performance of his whole career, as well as the stunning guitar work of the tandem Mikkonen/Söderberg. On top of that, Jens Bogren has managed to provide the band with a massive sound which perfectly reflects every single shift in atmosphere, further underlining the sheer class of "With Oden On Our Side".

Get ready for the best Viking Death Metal album of the still young millennium. After this record, there will be no way around AMON AMARTH, for they have successfully expanded and cemented their status as today’s most important artist in the whole death metal genre.
