DarkSideOfLucca: Rec me bands like Amon Amarth pls

DarkSideOfLucca 06.14.22	Help, it's an emergency.
Hyperion1001 06.14.22	Arch enemy
FR33L0RD 06.14.22	Hypocrisy, not a clone at all, but maybe you will like, idk Necrophobic, Tribulation, Skeletonwitch ( i am also re-listening to AA discog and having a blast) m///
naughtcturnal 06.14.22	Edge of Sanity
FR33L0RD 06.14.22	Dan Swano--Moontower LP, if you have already dug "Edge Of Sanity", great suggestion indeed Svavelvinter, Arkan, Kartikeya, Aeternam, these can also be something you like, Darkluk bro m/
arf 06.14.22	Unleashed, I guess
botb 06.15.22	Gross why Scar Symmetry, Hypocrisy, Dark Tranquility, Mors Principium Est, more of that Finnish and Swedish hyper melodic shit
botb 06.15.22	Or just listen to Solstafir bc it actually sounds like some real Viking shit
hasan 06.15.22	sum 41
rockarollacola 06.15.22	Blicky Sosa
EphemeralEternity 06.15.22	smashmouth and D12 come to mind
ReturnToRock 06.15.22	Finntroll Korpiklaani Dispatched
Meridiu5 06.15.22	^
Egarran 06.15.22	I refuse
Eakflanderyof 06.15.22	Honestly, it's hard for me to really think of a band that sounds like them. As much shit as people give them, they do have their own style... that they absolutely refuse to deviate from lol
YoYoMancuso 06.15.22	michael jackson - thriller
alamo 06.15.22	Demi Lovato
DDDeftoneDDD 06.15.22	Generic formulaic bands in general
JohnnyoftheWell 06.15.22	DDDeftoneDDD Chino smoking it up! 5.0 classic
DDDeftoneDDD 06.15.22	Stop stalking me
JohnnyoftheWell 06.15.22	sorry i am addicted to generic formulaic bands in general
JohnnyoftheWell 06.15.22	but yuh Lucca peep the new Saidan!
EphemeralEternity 06.15.22	It's amusing when you realise you can't even name 2 bands that sound like a band you've always though to be generic and boring
DarkSideOfLucca 06.15.22	It's amusing when you realise you can't even name 2 bands that sound like a band you've always though to be generic and boring [2] Tbh all four of these albums that I have on this list I would consider to be a 5/5 with Vs the World and With Oden On Our Side being among my favorite metal albums of all time. They're not crazy progressive or nuts or anything, but they hit harder than hundreds and hundreds of albums that I've heard. I'm going with trying out Hypocrisy because I've heard of them for like 20 years now but for whatever reason have never actually checked them out. Then I go on to Saiden and other things m/// You're all the best
Eakflanderyof 06.15.22	Out of everything listed I guess I would say hypocrisy is the closest but they still aren't all that similar although I haven't heard dispatched
Eakflanderyof 06.15.22	Some of that insomnium album TDIACD has similar style riffs at times
pizzamachine 06.15.22	Michael Jackson - Thriller
twlight 06.15.22	Michael Jackson - Thriller
necropig 06.15.22	Not similar really but listen to Garden of Shadows. They poop on amarth
pizzamachine 06.15.22	I would pay to see that
dbizzles 06.15.22	Upgrade to Bolt Thrower
Keyblade 06.15.22	tbf I think Unleashed was a good shout from arf
combustion07 06.15.22	Garden of Shadows ftw! Check out Thousand Year War- No God's, No Masters. Closest album I can think of to mid era Amon Amarth at least. Their follow up album is quite different but also pretty solid. Pretty tough band to find others that compare though. https://youtu.be/vOlEjPkRPHE
Keyblade 06.15.22	the problem with AA is that they're derivative of themselves, not any one other band. there's no reason to listen to 11 amon amarth albums lmao
evilford 06.15.22	Gross why [2]
Eakflanderyof 06.15.22	Ah cmon ford, with Oden on our side and versus the world are both some badass catchy heavy viking melo death. With Oden on our side has some really solid drumming too. Nothing overly complicated but just some tasty beats, fills, and cymbal work
Egarran 06.15.22	doubt
Eakflanderyof 06.15.22	Also, something random I've noticed... I don't know if it's intentional but I'm pretty sure there aren't any blastbeats on any of their albums. At least no traditional blasts. I find that interesting for a band with so many heavy/fast riffs
Eakflanderyof 06.15.22	"doubt" Well, "doubt" means you're not certain. If you were certain, you would say deny or rebuke or something
Egarran 06.15.22	nono it's internet for 'that is the worst thing I have ever heard'
Eakflanderyof 06.15.22	Doubt
evilford 06.16.22	Whenever I feel like listening to amon Amarth I just listen to demilich instead
DarkSideOfLucca 06.16.22	Demilich are completely different vibes lol And yeah, I refuse to see how someone can listen to With Oden or Vs the World as a metalhead and not love the shit out of those. I can understand people not digging a lot of their albums, but not those.
Muzz79 06.16.22	Hey mate, direct similar recs would be This Ending - Needles of Rust and Vanir - Sagas. If we’re just talking clean powerful melodic guitars with dm vocals, I can also suggest Duskmourn - Fallen Kings and Rusted Crowns, Necronomicon - Unus, Jungle Rot - A Call to Arms
Dedes 06.16.22	Listen to Red Dragon by Helcaraxe Imagine Amon Amarth but the riffs are meatier
evilford 06.16.22	I'm a metalhead and I don't dig those...
SIMBOLIC 06.16.22	“As a metal head” Ugh the worst collection of words in the Sputnik lexicon AGREED
Egarran 06.16.22	Good thing he didn't say that then!
evilford 06.16.22	Darkside did tho
Eakflanderyof 06.16.22	If you don't think runes to my memory absolutely crushes, your metal license is hereby revoked
DarkSideOfLucca 06.16.22	Ok, "as someone who enjoys this type of music, I cannot comprehend how you cannot appreciate such tasty riffs and epic feelz"
Eakflanderyof 06.16.22	I find it funny when obvious metalheads don't wanna be called metalheads. It's like those hyper political dudes that are either "apolitical" or don't subscribe to any particular ideology lol
DarkSideOfLucca 06.16.22	Eak gets it
evilford 06.16.22	I love being a metalhead. Amon amarth is just boring
Egarran 06.16.22	>Eak gets it he's just a bit too enthusiastic about it
Eakflanderyof 06.16.22	Yeah, that wasn't directed at you, ford... or really anyone in particular. And to each their own. I just think AA gets a lot of undue hate. They're one of the cool bands to hate
Eakflanderyof 06.16.22	And as far as melodeath goes, I think they riff better than most
Eakflanderyof 06.16.22	"he's just a bit too enthusiastic about it" I'm a passionate man
evilford 06.16.22	Yeah I mean I don't "hate" them per se, there are lots of worse bands. They just don't do anything for me.
FR33L0RD 06.16.22	~~ They just don't do anything for me.~~by evilford, that is fair, their is enough metal music varieties to please all of us, metalheads. 💚 Cheers all. I’m a passionate man [2], same, the majority of us, metalheads, are like that, it comes with our nature. Life is good m///
Eakflanderyof 06.16.22	Freelord coming in here with the positive vibes
Egarran 06.17.22	Us metalheads love pos vibes thanks lord
FR33L0RD 06.17.22	Yes we actually do lol
