There are certain albums that are always represented in the lists of the best albums and the major milestones of hard rock and metal. AC / DC Back in Black, Metallica-Master of Puppets and Judas Priest Painkiller to only times call einiege. For me joins with Amon Amarth Deceiver of the Gods there is a seamless and effortless. What an album. What a tremendous breaker. Unbelievable and amazing. And just to Painkiller here do to einiege parallels. Painkiller is yes since time immemorial for its power, dynamics and its hardness (as measured by the 90's) celebrated, and to the continuous quality of the songs and the urwüchsigem and original Metal Feeling. Just all this also offers Deceiver of the Gods. So if you have been waiting for a second Painkiller gets it here. Only that it just does not come from Priest, but by Amon Amarth. This album is Heavy Metal Pur. In its modern form, of course. Of course, AA still run under Death Metal, but strictly speaking it is now Heavy Metal with Death Metal vocals. And these two clashing components make this album, among other things also. The music can be broadly strong influences of Judas Priest and Iron Maiden recognize the excellent complement to the still forehand ends Death Metal parts of AA. I will not dwell on individual songs from the album here, because that is not necessary, because each song is a highlight ight and to convince themselves white. All songs on this album have an incredible strength and dynamism, strong melodies and choruses, riffs and leads, and an inexhaustible source of ideas and variety. And over all this rules the wonderfully harsh growling to himself singing Orgarn of Johan Hegg. Who really wants to hear catchy Heavy Metal in contemporary style is the feeling of the old classics, should absolutely access here. This album is absolutely timeless and offers songs that can also then keeping in mind has, if you have the album for a long time not heard. It is precisely this aspect that makes the great classics of metal among other things with. Master of Puppets or Painkiller can have perhaps not heard in ten years, but you still will not have every single song this works in detail and freshly in the ear. It is precisely this strength also draws Deceiver of the Gods from. It is simply one of the best metal albums of all time.
