AMON AMARTH: DECEIVER OF THE GODS
Unless you've spent the last few months pillaging settlements, performing vital repairs on your Longboat, or have been in an ale induced coma, then you will be fully aware that Deceiver Of The Gods has landed. Armed with facial hair inducing slabs of brutality, Amon Amarth demonstrate the true meaning of Melodic Death-Metal.
There is far more to Amon Amarth and Deceiver Of The Gods, than just beards and axes. The ten songs that comprise this majestic creation, are ten of the finest songs ever produced. Revolving around the continual theme of Vikings and Mythology, this album casts aside any other album of its kind.
Choosing a single favorite song from this album is an impossibility. The bruising, marching riffs and warriors tale of, "We Shall Destroy", comes fairly close to being a highlight of this album. As the song progresses through blast-beat style riffs and chugging breakdowns, it provides the perfect soundtrack to vocalist, Johan Hegg's iconic chanting war cry growls. That doesn't mean, "We Shall Destroy" is the only shinning star here. The face hacking masterpiece that is, "Hel", features more than just lyrical tales and intricate instrumentals. It features invigorating and impressive guest vocals from ex-Candlemass, Messiah Marcolin. The stomach churning intro to, "Blood Eagle", makes a rather memorable listen. Especially if your a fan of what sounds to be gratuitous mutilation. Deceiver Of The Gods is perfectly concluded with the eight minuet long mastery of, "Warriors Of The North". This particular song incorporates every different musical and lyrical element demonstrated throughout the album.
Deceiver Of The Gods may be more of a charge, than a leap in a different direction to Amon Amarth's back catalog, but it is definitely a charge in the right direction. It is very unlikely that this album with meet much scrutiny. In fact, it is more likely that Deceiver Of The Gods will earn Amon Amarth a far larger loyal following. Which is hardly surprising when you listen to incredible, life affirming songs such as "Father Of The Wolf" and "As Loke Falls".
If it hasn't been made perfectly clear already, Deceiver Of The Gods is possible the greatest album of 2013. Drenched in mystery, this album has earned its welcoming reception. After all, it could very well be far more than just, Amon Amarth's greatest album yet. Whether You're engrossed with the mythological aspect, or just delighted by the pulverising musicianship, Deceiver Of The Gods will not be outdated for a very, very long time.
