Top 10 Best Amon Amarth Albums

The first Amon Amarth album I heard. The first three songs are amazing. I love the growly bit right before he says free will sacrifice, and the narrative on Guardians of Asgaard.

A true metal classic. I've listened to it 10+ times, and every single listen is banger after melodic banger. Johan Hegg's singing on this album is phenomenal.

They get their history muddled up a bit, but their music and performances are amazing. Go, you Vikings, go!

Absolutely love this album. My favorite AA albums rotate between Jomsviking, With Oden on Our Side, and Twilight of the Thunder God. Just a great concept album.

The best melodic death metal band in the world continues to dominate the charts! This album tells the best story in all of metal, in my humble opinion.

Great work. These guys never fail to produce epic, heavy, melodic, crushing goodness in each successive album!

I love this album and it is one of the best death metal albums I've heard. The first song is average, but every song after that is a beautifully arranged, classic death metal tune with overlapping melodies getting shoved right in your face. The title track is the best song.

After the songs "Pursuit of Vikings" and "Death in Fire," the first full album I heard and still their best to date. The following four all lack something this album certainly has. I may describe it as the "vibe." All nine songs are just amazing, I wouldn't get tired of them.

Surtur Rising is awesome and it has some of my favorite songs from AA: Wrath Of The Norsemen, War Of The Gods, and Destroyer Of The Universe. I think they've left this album behind. So sad they don't play it live. But War of the Gods is so good!

Honestly, this and Twilight are the top two in my opinion, but all of them are awesome, so take your pick.

It's the absolute perfect balance of showcasing talent, playing heavy, and being epic.

For sure their heaviest album. This one stands out from the other AA albums as just being a bit heavier and darker compared to the rest of them. This is such a great album, and Death In Fire, ...And Soon the World Will Cease to Be, and Where Silent Gods Stand Guard are all absolute masterpieces. Very few albums in metal top this one.

Not just one of the best AA albums, but one of the best extreme metal albums ever. It defined Amon Amarth's current sound with thickly layered guitars, switching between epic and somber songwriting, and highly dynamic vocal lines. This album could get you prepared for heated battle.

This should be higher. I think a lot of people just haven't heard it yet. It's definitely one of their best albums, rivaling With Oden On Our Side and Twilight Of The Thunder God. These last four albums have just been epic. It's a bit more thrashy than the rest but just as epic.

Amon Amarth is one of those bands that does the same thing for every album but never gets old. Unlike most bands, however, their 9th album actually manages to successfully fulfill that formula and maybe add a little something new.

Their best album in my humble opinion. This one just has more for me. The songs feel right, and the heaviness is just right. That epic feel is all there. Headbang to this album.

There is not a single bad song on this album. There is not even a single okay song on this album. It is an hour of godliness.

When I listen to this album (much like Jomsviking), I cannot just pick a few songs. No, I have to listen to the whole thing. Victorious March and the title track alone could put it in the top 5. Then add the rest? It is nothing short of #1.

Is there a better metal debut? There is not a single even mediocre song on this album. The Dragon's Flight Across the Waves, Amon Amarth (the song), and more from this album are just incredible on every listen. It's kind of primitive compared to their later stuff, but this is their first album and it kicks ass.

I have nothing but good things to say about this album. It sounds really good, heavy, and melodic. The guitar work is fantastic, just like the drums and the bass. The first song, "Fafner's Gold," is incredible and sets the tone for the rest of the album perfectly.

A lot of the songs are absolute gems, like "Mjolner, Hammer of Thor," "The Berserker at Stamford Bridge," and "Wings of Eagles," along with "Valkyria," "Ironside," and "Into the Dark," which has very nice piano parts in it.

Overall, this is really one of Amon Amarth's best albums. They never disappoint!

I didn't like this one on my first listen, but it's definitely grown on me. I definitely think it's one of their best because of its great songwriting and awesome riffs.

I think this should be higher. It's better than Vs the World, Deceiver, and Golden Hall, and it contains The Pursuit of Vikings, which is easily one of their best songs.

A great melodic metal album. It has great songs: The Fates of Norms, The Pursuit, and Once Sealed in Blood. Definitely one of my favorites.
