Their latest album, the band led by the friendly grizzly bear, the one has ever seen a concert stage, a little inspiriation of Before The Dawn have brought, at least when it comes to play the guitar. Also Insomnium I think to hear in some pieces, despite all the power. Perhaps this is the reason to look why it took a surprisingly long time with me until Deceiver of the Gods had triggered the desired hurricane in my brain turns. In the earlier works of the kick was immediate.
Not to be misunderstood, I'm a big fan of BTD and Insomnium, only Amon Amarth had indeed their own way of playing the guitar, this double plucking (experts forgive me, I have no idea how it's called). What has remained is the full force behind the pieces and the attractive pace towards the end. What I am pleased that this disc has finally ignited with me! When is it equal reappeared? In June. Sapperlot!
