4.0 excellent | Poet | March 30th 16 | Slashing, killing Thrashing, spilling Blood for honor, death, and glory!
Not only is this the entire album, but it is also how I felt after this got deleted the
first time....

3.0 good | MaidenUFO | March 3rd 16 | Dissapointment. Pretty decent album but i think its one of their worst records.I miss the epicness of their classic records."First Kill" is the best song here in my opinion.

2.5 average | zaruyache | November 24th 16 | I don't even think I like any of the songs here. This sounds like a band at their limit running completely on the last few fumes they have left. The production doesn't let the music sound as epic as Twilight, or as melodically impacting as Oden, and the material isn't even as good as that on Deceiver (which wasn't that good to begin with). Amon am dissapoint.

3.5 great | TheManMachine | May 17th 16 | Yep, it's got all dem viking-lyfe metal platitudes: us vs. them outlook, summoning inner strength, brutal battles, harrowing weather, raising horns+pouring beers for fallen freebooters, fulfilling destinies on seas of blood, etc. Then halfway through they dare to break out "The Way of Vikings" as if that wasn't already their ingrained band motto to begin with. But they wear their vet-status for this disposition loud-n-proud -- performances, though perhaps a bit recycled, are reliable and heavy and galloping round the clock; impressively decipherable growls are on point and allow for a welcoming coherence+precise depictions of injurious actions and various weaponry, they don big choruses and love to exude triumph but don't plunge into Cornville or shy away from piano-plinking amid tributary balladry. Notable/novel moment comes during "A Dream That Cannot Be", a guy-gal back-n-forth of bad-assery between Johan Heg and Doro Pesch that works way better than it probably should. Not so long story short, haughty-n-macho rescue is attempted and met with rejection and independence, then he goes for the forceful grab, and, well: "I pull the knife I've concealed / I put the edge to his throat". You go, girl.

3.5 great | BRAman22 | March 30th 16 | Clearly Amon Amarth throughout, but there is enough variety to keep it from getting old.

3.5 great | ngk44 | March 30th 16 | It's Amon Amarth being Amon Amarth. If you didn't like their previous albums this one won't change your mind, but if you're a fan it ought to be a perfectly satisfactory slice of Viking-themed swedish melodeath.

3.5 great | Xenorazr | March 27th 16 | Amon Amarth just pulled a Killswitch Engage. Or is it the other way around?

4.0 excellent | MalConstant | March 23rd 16 | Their best since TOTTG and they even introduce some refreshing elements to their sound. The riffs have a hint of Iron Maiden and the songs are way more melodic than previous outings. I really like the album so far with the album closer being my favorite!
