Amon Amarth - The Great Heathen Army (NEW Black LP)

Recorded with esteemed studio guru Andy Sneap at the controls, 'The Great Heathen Army' represents another bold leap forward for the band, as their trademark sound undergoes yet another skillful, evolutionary overhaul, both lyrically and musically. From the noisily rabble-rousing 'Find a Way or Make One' and the pummelling, pugilistic 'Get in the Ring', to the evocative fury of 'Saxons and Vikings' and the cinematic squall of the title track, 'The Great Heathen Army' encapsulates the essence of this legendary band, while still allowing acres of space for new ideas.
