AMON AMARTH / FATE OF NOMS

I’ve been impatiently waiting for this since I ordered it at the beginning of September, so when I slipped it into the CD player when it came I was relieved when out of the speakers came the now familiar Viking Metal.

Their brand of Norse Metal is very appealing and you can imagine that the Vikings would have loved to have had this as a soundtrack on their infamous raids of the East Coast of England and Europe. The riffs are as epic as the songs they sing and it’s classic Death Metal from start to finish. If "When Death Comes To Dwell" or "Valkyries Ride" doesn’t stir something in your soul, with the pounding rhythms, and fearless riffs, nothing will. If you liked "Vs The World" you will love this as well, best tracks; "Fate Of Noms", "When Death Comes To Dwell" and "Pursuit Of Kings".
