A to Z Challenge: T is for Twilight Of The Thunder God

Amon Amarth is a Melodic Death Metal band, but don't let that put you off just yet.

These guys are straight up vikings and make some pretty fantastic music.  It's great for pumping up and keeping going, and it's also great because of the lyrical imagery.  They paint stories that, to me at least, are absolutely fantastic.  Fantasy lands and tales of the Norse gods.  It's good stuff.

Let's hit up my favorite tracks now, as has become the pattern.

Twilight Of The Thunder God

Guardians Of Asgaard

Where Is Your God

Tattered Banners And Bloody Flags

No Fear For The Setting Sun

Embrace The Endless Ocean

I'm not gonna specially tag anything this time.  I just really wanted you to listen to that one song a lot.  Whatever though.

Amon Amarth - Twilight Of The Thunder God

I really could have sworn that I posted this song before.  Like, I was 100% sure I had and I even remember some of the things I said.  But apparently I didn't, because I can't find any evidence of it in my past posts.  Ah well.

Amon Amarth is a Melodic Death Metal band that is commonly referred to as Viking Metal because of the fact that they look like a pack of mutha' effin vikings and sing about Norse mythology.

I feel like I talk about Alexi Laiho outside of his actual band more than anything, but he played the solo on this song.  Ya know, doing his thing where he throws out all the notes as quickly as possibly?
