Amon Amarth – “Twilight of the Thunder God” [Metal Blade] … those with a penchant for vehement Viking valor know to look to this Swedish quintet, who have hacked and slashed their way to become one of the most distinguished names in Metal … their ninth album plays out much like their last: a trio of barnburners, a couple of okay tracks, a great centerpiece, and at least one more standout before the album closes (this is 9, which also features some cello by Apocalyptica) … also listen for a solo by Roope Latvala (Children of Bodom) on *1* and L.G. Petrov (Entombed) singing duet with Johan Hegg on 3 … and by the way, if this isn’t album cover of the year, show me what is … FCC OK … Try *1*, 2, 3, *6*, 9 … 2008Sept23
