Reckon the album is pretty decent though much suited to death metal vocals the entire time.

One of the very best.

Leprosy followed by The Sound of Perseverance.
2 favourite death albums... hnnnggg
I’ve not followed Amon Amarth since 2002’s ‘Versus the World’. The more ‘mainstream’ their brand got, the less interest I had. I’m not about to re-visit their past 17 years but I’m finding this new release ‘Berserker’ really enjoyable. It’s probably the first album of theirs I’ve heard in a decade.

Leprosy is imo the greatest DM album ever, it laid the foundation for everything that came after. The Sound of Perseverance is likewise the best example of Progressive DM.
Chuck was a genius, and he took some amazing musicians along for the ride.

Mate just msgd me - he’s sitting next to a guy at his daughter’s gymnastics who turns out to be Tony Lee Roth from the old Blood Duster.
Anyway, his current band sounds ok. Not hugely original but not bad if you’re into this style (me!). Dave Hayley on drums.

I haven't properly followed them since about the same time as you but I've checked most of their albums out briefly. Despite going more mainstream one thing I'll give them is that they have never turned their back on their sound and nothing they have done has been really bad. Just not my cup of tea.

i've watched plenty of interviews with him, he just seems like one of the nicest people you will meet extremely intelligent and talented so so so cruel to lose someone like him in that way not fair at all.
one of the only bands that doesn't have a bad album.

I posted a page or two back that I'd finally listened to Control Denied. That's what he wanted to do going forward, and it would have been exceptional based on the one album they had completed.
I’m not familiar with their previous couple of albums but what I’ve read & heard (from a friend who is) they follow a well worn path. Not a lot of deviation in sound or style. Certainly catchy with the mainstream metal audience in mind.

Don't mind AA though I think they are 'death metal for the power metal guy'. At least they don't play pop metal. Will check the new one out.
Amon Amarth are fun. They've been writing the same album for a long time but it's always enjoyable.

I'm an Amon Amarth fan, though they're certainly not amongst my favourites, and I don't consider anything by them to be compulsory. They're a lot of fun live, and I've always made the commitment to see them at their own shows.
One of the great metal choruses

MDB on now. ALODK.

That's a lot of MDB. How's the mental health? haha
amon Amarth: Liked the early stuff but somehow lost a bit of interest later. But from what I know they didn't change their sound much. They never were the most brutal DM band, but they are pretty harsh for a band that plays locations for about 10000 people. That is kind of Maiden/Motörhead/Deep Purple size. Pretty interesting. Most other bigger DM bands play more like 1000 clubs. And the last time I saw Deicide (who used to be pretty big) there were less then 100...
A more straightforward approach on this album, which includes my favourite MDB song ever - Thy Raven Wings. The production on this is great. Previous couple of releases were a bit ‘weighted down’ but this one is superb. Only fleeting signs of any death-vocals but overall I really enjoy this. Album cover only so-so.
MDB always improves mine!

Went nuts on wowhd.com after reading the Peaceville book. Moreorless ignored them and PL save for first ep (MDB) and first two albums (PL) so playing catch up.
