Ok so it may be a little cheesy, but Amon Amarth’s riffs are a force to be reckoned with. Cody’s review of the album can be read here.
This video is hilarious and wicked cool at the same time!!! Enjoy…
Amon Amarth “Twilight Of The Thunder God”
When one listens to metal, they instantly try to compare and contrast it to other artists in order to come up with a likeness.

I know we have covered this band in the last month or so quite thoroughly, but it’s better than featuring Metallica again, right?

This is a very difficult review to write, because The Crucible of Man is simply so God [...]
