Best 10 Amon Amarth songs

VikingMan · May 6th, 2011, 04:25 AM

first of all : i think there's already a thread about the same thing, i don't seem to find it, if moderators can find it, feel free to move this one there.

SO with the new Surtur Rising i guess the "Best 10 Amon Amarth songs List" has changed for some people, post here ur new order.

For me it goes like this (even though it's VERY hard to do it :P )

1. Victorious March
2. Doom Over Dead Man
3. Gods of War Arise
4. Embrace of the Endless Ocean
5. Fate Of Norns
6. Amon Amarth
7. The Last Stand of Frej
8. Under the Northern Star
9. Across the Rainbow Bridge
10. For Victory or Death

Tomasz · May 6th, 2011, 05:31 AM

where is "TYOO", where is "STTNW"?, don't know about the new stuff, what kind of list is this???

agreed on VM, FON, ATRB, UTNS & AA

sure i do like TYOO and STTNW but those days this is my list, it's not a forever list, just NOW, maybe tomorrow another list :P

but for me the FOREVER list is like this :

1. All Amon Amarth songs
2. Bleed for ancient gods
3. Once sealed in blood
4. Wrath of the norsemen

Thimon · May 6th, 2011, 07:57 PM

As always these threads are just too tough

Impossible to only choose ten songs. But I can at least name the ones that really really stand out to me and try to stay below 20

(Listed in chronological order)

Without Fear
Victorious March
Amon Amarth
Friends of the Suncross

The Last with Pagan Blood
The Avenger

The Sound of Eight Hooves
Annihilation of Hammerfest
Releasing Surturs Fire

Versus the World
Thousand Years of Opression

Fate of Norns

Hermods Ride to Hel - Loke's Treachery Part I
Gods of War Arise
Cry of the Black Birds
Under the Northern Star

Twilight of the Thunder God
Free Will Sacrifice
Tattered Banners and Bloody Flags

Can't really name the new ones yet, it's not so obvius which of them are going to withstand time

VikingMan · May 7th, 2011, 02:56 AM

great list Thimon
i doubt there would be some list without victorious march and gods of war arise

Ingvar · May 7th, 2011, 06:05 AM

My top ten:

10. Embrace Of The Endless Ocean
9. The Fall Through Ginnungagap
8. The Arrival Of The Fimbul Winter
7. Bastards Of A Lying Breed
6. Asator
5. Thousand Years Of Oppression
4. God, His Son And Holy Whore
3. For Victory Or Death
2. Thor Arise
1. Victorious March

Thor26 · May 7th, 2011, 11:04 AM

Tough one…
Ok, here I go:

10.Without Fear
9. Bastards of a Lying Breed
8….And Soon The World Will Cease To Be
7.Versus The World
6. The Pursuit of Vikings
5.Fate Of Norns
4.Where Silent Gods Stand Guard
3.Asato(u)r
2.Cry Of The Black Birds
1.Valhall Awaits Me (Death In Fire); they’re both my No.1s

But all in all, this is an extremely difficult task for me…

DarceChoke · May 8th, 2011, 08:59 PM

Alright so its not ten songs or in order but here it goes:

Victorious March
Amon Amarth
Bleed for Ancient Gods
God, His Son, and Holy Whore
Bastards of A Lying Breed
The Sound of Eight Hooves
Pursuit of Vikings
Death in Fire
Thousand Years of Oppression
And Soon the World will Cease To be
Gods of War Arise
Cry of the Black Birds
Hermods Ride to Hel
Tocks Taunt
Twilight of The Thunder God
The Hero

Keenan · May 8th, 2011, 09:46 PM

Can I partake in this thread even though I'm missing Crusher and Avenger?

10. Friends of the Suncross
9. Across the Rainbow Bridge
8. Ride For Vengeance
7. Doom Over Dead Man
6. Death in Fire
5. Runes to My Memory
4. Free Will Sacrifice
3. Thousand Years of Oppression
2. Cry of the Black Birds
1. Embrace of the Endless Ocean

That's a good enough list for now. I've been on a thrash binge lately, so I haven't been listening to Amon Amarth all that much, so I'm a bit rusty when it comes to their music.

replicated · May 9th, 2011, 12:03 AM

The Last with Pagan Blood
Fate of Norns
Avenger
Amon Amarth
Across the Rainbow Bridge

Everything else is a tie.

DamageInc. · May 9th, 2011, 10:58 AM

once more a thread about that :-p

in Album order...

Ride for Vengance
Without fear
Last with Pagan Blood
God, his son and holy whore
Metalwrath
Masters of War
for the Stabwounds in our Backs
1000 Years of Oppression
Asator
Slaves of Fear

this is the Toplist on how I feel right now... can change easy and quickly

But its mostly dominated by the old stuff.

HailAmonAmarth · May 9th, 2011, 11:44 AM

1-The Pursuit of Vikings
2-Fate of Norns
3-Death in Fire
4-Once Sealed in Blood
5-No Fear For The Setting Sun
6-Victorious March
7-Ride for Vangeance
8-Varyags of Miklagaard
9-The Beheading of a King
10-Versus the World

Am I the only person who thinks Death in Fire is a vastly overrated song?

yes

seriously though, I like it, but can of course not say for everyone else

I like it enough that could I be bothered to list the top 10 songs I would want for the next live show, it would be in there

Tomasz · May 9th, 2011, 04:39 PM

not anymore, it was one of my fav. at one time but now it just got old due to too many listens

1000 years is by far the best AA song, too bad no one thinks that at the live shows, followed of course by Victorious

victorious is the best!!

strangeillusion · May 10th, 2011, 10:25 AM

I love all their songs. 10 is like really impossible to choose.. I'm going to mention some most listened songs by me which may exceed the 10 limit.. in no particular order..

1) Victorious March
2) Amon Amarth
3) Legend of a Banished Man
4) North Sea Storm
5) The Sound of Eight Hooves
6) Annihilation of Hammerfest
7) Across the Rainbow Bridge
8) Down the Slopes of Death
9) Thousand Years of Oppression
10) Once Sealed in Blood
11) Gods of War Arise
12) Valhall Awaits Me
13) Cry of the Black Birds
14) Varyags of Miklagaard
15) The Hero
16) For Victory or Death
17) The Last Stand of Frej
18) A Beast Am I
19) Wrath of the Norsemen
20) Where Silent Gods Stand Guard

thornh · May 10th, 2011, 12:54 PM

1. Hermod's Ride to Hel - Loke's Treachery Part I
2. Thousand Years of Oppression
3. Doom Over Dead Man
4. Victorious March
5. Embrace of the Endless Ocean
6. Twilight of the Thunder God
7. Prediction of Warfare
8. Fate of Norns
9. Cry of the Blackbirds
10. A Beast Am I

In all honesty, as a fan, it is very difficult to make a top ten list for AA. I like all of their songs. If I had to make a list right now it would be the one above. Tomorrow it might be different. My number one pick would probably stay the same though.

slagmelt · May 10th, 2011, 01:18 PM

it is indeed difficult to choose a top ten list from all their material. It's far easier to choose a top five from each album. so hard to choose
just queue up the discography and load AgeofConan Mount&bladeWarband or Oblivion

stabbin good times

anomaly · May 10th, 2011, 01:37 PM

In no particular order:

Abandoned
Across the Rainbow Bridge
Thousand Years of Oppression
Victorious March
Twilight of the Thunder God (best solo)
Varyags of Miklagaard
Cry of the Blackbirds
Live for the Kill (if only for the Apocalyptica bit at the end

)
The Fate of Norns
The Last Stand of Frej

The Last Stand of Frej is the only song that I find truly outstanding on their new album, but every song on that album has its moments; so many epic riffs and really nice solos. I'm glad that Amon Amarth have managed to retain such good form for such a long time, unlike a lot of other bands.

puje · May 10th, 2011, 02:29 PM

1 With Oden On Our side
2 Persuit of Vikings
3 Live Without Regrets
4 Varyags of Miklagaard
5 Fate Of Norns
6 Gods Of War Arise
7 Valhall Awaits Me
8 Thousand Years of Oppression
9 Runes To my Memory
10 Where Death Seems To Dwell

Something along those lines...
Notice the lack of Victorious March

Lukasz · May 10th, 2011, 03:53 PM

-Arson
-Hermons Ride to Hell (Lokes Treachery)

Nope, it's not even on my top 10 list. It's a good song though, just not THAT good. I guess it's gotten old?

-Victorious March
-Abandoned
-Metalwrath
-The Sound of Eight Hooves
-Risen From the Sea (Fuck you, Hegg, for not releasing lyrics hahaha)
-Hermod's Ride to Hell
-Prediction of Warfare
-Tattered Banners and Bloody Flags
-Destroyer of the Universe
-The Last Stand of Frej

edubz · May 16th, 2011, 08:17 PM

Me too.

Being asked to try and summarize what AA stands for in one track, Olavi answered: “DEATH IN FIRE”.
