This time we will speak of a group called Amon Amarth .....

Amon Amarth is a melodic death metal band from Tumba, Sweden, founded in 1992. It takes its name from the Sindarin name of Mount Doom, a volcano in J. R. R. Tolkien′s Middle-earth. Their lyrics mostly deal with the Vikings, their mythology and their history. The band comprises vocalist Johan Hegg, guitarists Olavi Mikkonen and Johan Söderberg, bassist Ted Lundström and drummer Fredrik Andersson. Amon Amarth has released nine studio albums, one EP, one DVD, and eight music videos.

The band base most of their song lyrics on Norse mythology, the Viking Age, and the pre-Christian world. This mythology is an element that emerged in the early 1990s as an ideological off-shoot of black metal in a genre known as Viking metal, made popular by such bands as Bathory and Enslaved. The band, however, does not classify itself as a Viking metal band.

Deceiver of the Gods is the ninth studio album by Swedish melodic death metal band Amon Amarth. It was released in Sweden and Finland June 19, and in USA June 25. Former Candlemass singer Messiah Marcolin makes a guest appearance on the track "Hel".

The title of the album and its artwork were revealed on April 12, 2013, and the title song was released on the band's homepage a day later, available for streaming or as a free download.
In Canada, the album debuted at number 9 on the Canadian Albums Chart.

After a magnificent "Surtur Rising", "Deceiver of the Gods" is seen as a great relief, but for me, this work has gone unnoticed and has no much impact as others. Even so, I still admire the quality of the Swedes, and the waste of energy deployed in each of his compositions.


After 19 years fighting their gods, AMON AMARTH return with a true work to their principles, where the cover star again that touch of leadership that had the covers of IRON MAIDEN in the 80's. Again the friend Tom Thiel has done a superb job, matching the needs of the Swedes, (where you can see the fight of Loki and the gods of the Ragnarok) what his followers claim. Pure melodic death as usual, with powerful themes and the distinctive voice heartbreaking from Johan Hegg.

My rating 3/5
