Agreed! Looking forward to their new album in a couple months

Another band I really enjoy are Kromlek, a bit more folk sounding on a few songs than AA but you have the deep growls and similar content. A couple of my favourites at the moment:

Strandhagg Pt. II - Wave Bound:

Strandhagg Pt. III - The Landing

Love it!!!

A lot of people might scoff a bit at this, but Amon Amarth has always reminded me strongly of At The Gates. In particular, Slaughter of the Soul. I think this is simply due to the fact that they've both had that uber-crisp, drop tuning, single string rhythm technique (as opposed to using chords) in their later albums. In terms of melody and "feel" there are significant differences though.

i also agree that Insomnium & God Dethroned are good bands.. so check them out, if ya haven't already... god dethroned's newest album (Passiondale) is really good, allof heir albums are prety good, but i like that passiondale is a concept abum about WW1.. it's a nice touch, imo.

Try "Forefather" or "Wolves Of Hate" - Forefather especially, play a mix of death metal tinged with folk elements and even sing some lyrics in Old (Anglo-Saxon) English, their latest album, "Steadfast" is well worth checking out, hope you enjoy it!

Check out Elite from Norway, ther're pretty good. Its black metal though but with good atmosphere. Also you can check out our profile on MySpace. We're recording our debut CD which will be released this autumn, but there are some songs online that might give you an idea of the sound of the CD.

Hails and horns up high!

Have you heard Whispered? They're not like viking metal but pretty epic stuff with some samurai influence in it.

Seawolves want to be Amon Amarth very badly. But they are not. Not even close. But they want so badly...if only they could drop the gay jollyfolk shit.

You Tube

This one is alright. Poor vocals. Musically, this is stuff that AA would play, but structure-wise they're not there yet.

amon666 · February 22nd, 2010, 03:59 AM

not bad at all!

WeAreInFlames · February 22nd, 2010, 10:38 AM

Yeah, the other stuff I listened to added in some gay jollyfolk and violin. If AA were to cease existing, I'd listen to these guys, but as long as they're still around there's really no point for these guys to try.
