[@yoe91]

Death in Fire when I was a 16 year old kid discovering metal, the video clip on TV with these men windmill headbanging on a live stage playing a style that was dark but ultra melodic at the same time. I thought I'd come into a goldmine.

[@goblincooker]

but you did. amon amarth have been forging bangers since 1992 bby

[@shadowslifer]

omg same here, here we are

[@zacmccollum7144]

Same bitch. Uranium with julya or whatever her name was and my guy Johan was like "😃the end of the world...as we know it😃" lmfao! I was instantly a fan

[@axelanderthegreat]

Metal virginity at 16?? Pretty old

[@josuemartinez3591]

For the Stabwounds in our backs, my head is part of the riff

[@hatecorpse]

They still haven't touched this album. I love the band don't get me wrong. But I can't fathom how this album isn't highlighted as THE MASTERPIECE. It's fucking perfect all the way through. That perfect ground that viking metal is always trying to find in between meaning and heavy without being cheesy or a novelty. This album hits no matter what. If you've never heard it before or the genre. It's perfect after all these years.

[@mayoite160]

IMO Oden equals it, although that album's a little too short. Twilight has individual songs that match this quality but the album as a whole isn't as strong

[@hvitekristesdod]

It’s almost perfect but I find myself skipping Bloodshed sometimes when I listen to it. The Avenger is king for me

[@MetalFan10101]

I think the only other album which comes close is sutur rising

[@manfrombritain6816]

the band literally always says "we're not viking metal" but ok

[@hatecorpse]

@@manfrombritain6816 fair enough, frankly I haven't listened to anything they say since this album lol. And this album for sure seems pretty damn vikingish too me. But hey let's argue more semantics about genres.

[@elliottpaine9259]

Death in the fire - amazing drums and everything !

[@Johnny.1994]

Thousands years of oppression and Rainbow bridge are legendary. My favorites of this amazing album

[@armak7774]

Same here haha. These ones slap extra hard!

[@eiswanderer4664]

This album started a long journey into melodic death metal for me, whose end is still not within sight

[@LeonardoRodriguez-jf1bl]

Un grupo de rock muy bueno

[@doocies]

Same

[@TrapDaily]

forgot how much i love this album, geez i was literally 13 -14 listening to this everydady. crazy

[@atreus4842]

Yes Bro truely the same. For me it was the first album that I heard with 8 years and finally later again with 13-16 years. And is the best album of Amon Amarh in my opinion.

[@arkanis5249]

This is one of a few albums I consider epic.

[@martinparidon9056]

When did I write this comment?

[@billnelson7362]

Qaa]]0 L)

[@Splitsplatofficial]

Same here

[@ssmstudio1476]

Death in fire. Still sounds good!💪

[@ProfessorPuffyPants]

Still my favorite album of all time, dont care what you think.

[@yoe91]

of Amon Amarth, or of all bands altogether ? If it's option 2, what's your second top album of all-time after this one ?

[@ProfessorPuffyPants]

@@yoe91 favorite of all time. The second is actually a really hard question. This album is special to me because I listened to it so much in high school when I was getting into metal and I love how grandiose this one sounds while still having the old school super condensed death metal tone. My next would be a tie between : Carach angren: where the corpses sink forever Gojira: terra incognita All shall perish : price of existence Job for a cowboy: suneater Watain: sworn to the dark I have to put some more thought into this lol

[@hvitekristesdod]

@@darthtrolleus1947 Berzerker is easily their worst album

[@hvitekristesdod]

@@darthtrolleus1947 👍🤘

[@shonlarson6111]

I don't care what you think either! This is the first album I heard from Amon Amarth! Love it! Kudos to you and Amon Amarth! That's how I feel!

[@UnrealTech9403]

Across the Rainbow Bridge is one of the best metal songs I've ever heard, top 5. Or even just one of the best songs regardless of genre. It's like 1000 pages of Tolkien wrapped into 4 minutes.

[@userx1981]

It's definitely a more boring metal song imo, especially for Amon Amarth. Try out Valkyria, Fate of Norns, any song off Surtur Rising as well

[@jakewhiddon3819]

Yeah agreed! The riff at the end is simple epic bliss. Not a heavy song but awesome~!

[@hvitekristesdod]

Such an emotional track. Never misses

[@ericharris893]

It’s up there my boy

[@Koraxus]

I like Amon Amarth because unlike many other "Melodic Death Metal" bands, this is mostly still derived from Death Metal as opposed to Power Metal.

[@Big_fat_monkey_balls]

You should try intestinal baalism or argohslent (argohslent are racist though)

[@BlackStarEOP]

Try God Dethroned sometime :)

[@MetalDoraemon6]

The best AA album and one of the best death Metal of all times

[@shonlarson6111]

Thank you again to my viking friend Chris. Such a good album and such a good friend! I will never forget either!

[@jaceksky4064]

Great classic stuff 🤘🤘🤘

[@addersforkaustria]

We covered "Death in Fire" with our band almost 15 years ago, when we were teens. We also tried to cover "Down the Slopes of Death" but our drummer just couldn't keep up... A classic!

[@martinparidon9056]

I was never a great drummer, but Death in Fire was so much fun to play!

[@yoe91]

Same. We were 16 and 17. I had the tapping part on guitar, and I'd come up with a version that required just the left hand, so I could gently shush the crowd with the other hand lol coz they got loud because the other instruments stopped.

[@BlackMetalCvltvm]

please share with us the version!

[@Yabuturtle]

Normally I don't really like death metal, but these guys put more effort than most of them and actually sound good. Lots of great riffs and love the album art, too.

[@gillaliglaou2840]

amon amarth are one of the safest bands out there. I don't see "more effort put than most of them" in this band. While yes, this is a great album, the band got very repetitive and boring after twilight of the thunder god.

[@user-bc8xj4dc8p]

I'm not keen on growly vocals But this fella is awesome And you can actually hear the words 😁🤘

[@SquantoShinyShorts]

This is what I always wanted from metal. One of my favorite albums of all time and I’m not even a metal head

[@feesww]

"Bloodshed", "Where Silent Gods Stand Guard" and "Versus the World" are the best songs on this album..

[@NewNova88]

Found this album inside salvaged audio tape.The only track I was able to understand was "Bloodshed", so I searched "Bloodshed metal song" and find it ! Glad to discover another band this way ! (previously God Dethroned on the same tape, but the Amon Amarth one was cut at the end because of the lack of space)

[@mhuchatz]

The Best Titel from Amon Amarth...

[@AlefyOliveira]

This is an album that every track is great, holy shit, so good! Congrats from Brazil.

[@TheIsemgrim]

and this bois, is how you make an album. epic from start to finish.

Still the greatest Amon album to date. And I doubt they'll ever make a better one.

[@DJTheMetalheadMercenary]

Wholly agree

[@Transilvanian90]

With Oden on Our Side is about as good, but you're right, they're certainly not on track to make anything better after the last two clunkers.

This is probably my fourth favorite album from Amon Amarth behind Twilight of the Thunder God,Deciever of the Gods & Oden on our side. It's still a bad ass album though.

[@Transilvanian90]

Deceiver is trash compared to this

[@davidlairson7998]

@@Transilvanian90 I strongly disagree I really would have a hard time deciding which one was my favorite out of the three. VS the world is a very good album. But I don't think it's even close to the three I mentioned.
