With Versus the World, Amon Amarth return with another terrain flattening, Viking-obsessed death metal platter. Vocalist Johan Hegg alternates between a whispery low rumble and an upper-register shriek, both of which are surprisingly able to render the lyrics quite intelligible at times. What's possibly most impressive about Versus the World is the ebb and flow of the record; there is an engaging variety of moods, tempos, and textures that is lacking from the work of many similar bands. The songs are truly songs, which are thoughtfully arranged and manage to deliver melody, and even beauty, along with moments of extreme brutality. ~ Andy Hinds Amon Amarth Versus The World Songs Versus The World Music Review Average Rating: (4.6 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews Amon Amarth Hail Across The Runes

Their new CD is simply mindblowing. While it may not be as heavy as previous material, it is exceptionally melodic. -O

Amon amarth is a new band to me, but now they are one of my favorite bands. This album is not that technical, but it proves that technicallity is not everything. Very depressing at time, and i like that. Check it out

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  Lief Erickson and Randy Moss would be proud.
Musically, Versus the World is your standard death metal album, always heavy with furious, growling vocals. What makes it unique is the bands inclusion of Viking mythology stories. Lyrically, the stories are a little repetitive, as the same actions are being told in different ways. Also, the lyrics can be quite graphic in their descriptions, but this is death metal right?! If you're a die hard fan, be sure to check out the "Limited Edition" with 14 bonus tracks.

Commemorating its 10th anniversary in release, Metal Blade Records offers a special two-disc edition of Amon Amarth's debut album, 1998's ONCE SENT FROM THE GOLDEN HALL, one of the crowning achievements in brutal Viking metal.

Amon Amarth's fifth full-length isn't so different than its 2002 predecessor, The Crusher. Musically, Fate of Norns is Spartan death metal built on epic, anthemic melodies, a perfect example of the Iron Maiden/death metal fusion tagged the "New Wave of Swedish Heavy Metal." And lyrically it's still full of Viking imagery, as songs like ...

With their first album of the '90s, Iron Maiden wanted to return to basics. Comparable to their more straightforward early work, No Prayer for the Dying quickly shot up the charts all over the world, but it was clear that the songwriting wasn't up to snuff when compared to such classics as Killers or Number of the Beast. The album also signaled the debut of new guitarist Janick Gers, best known for his stint in Ian Gillan's solo band and on Bruce Dickinson's solo album, Tattooed Millionaire. Featuring a pair of U.K. hit singles -- the anti-televangelist diatribe "Holy Smoke" and Maiden's lone number one, the controversial "Bring Your Daughter...to the Slaughter" (which was banned by the BBC) -- plus another that should have been issued as a single (the opener, "Tailgunner"), No Prayer as a whole doesn't measure up to the hits. The title track contains an opening too reminiscent of their 1988 single "Infinite Dreams," while other tracks such as "Fates Warning," "Run Silent Run Deep," and "Hooks in You" never catch fire. And even though the epic closer "Mother Russia," "Public Enema Number One," and "Fates Warning" are standouts, they just don't hold up well when compared to past classics. While Maiden retained their solid following elsewhere in the world, No Prayer for the Dying would prove to be their last gold-certified album in the U.S. ~ Greg Prato
After almost a decade with Capitol, Iron Maiden joined Epic with its first album of the 1990s, the Martin Burch-produced No Prayer for the Dying. The synthesizers and keyboards of Somewhere In Time and Seventh Son of a Seventh Son were gone, and the headbangers tended to favor a more direct, straightforward type of aggression this time around. Although not in a class with early albums like The Number of the Beast, Prayer is an impressive CD that has its share of assets. Bruce Dickenson (who debuted as a solo artist in 1990 with Tattooed Millionaire) is consistently spirited, and the writing is undeniably ...
