new thread
I say kind of off topic because this is a metal band that has remained true to its roots both musically and in appearance (they haven't cut their hair).
I'm really enthused with their latest album With Oden On My Side! (I thought it's spelled 'Odin' but they spelled it 'Oden'.) I like a lot of their albums but I don't recall one that is as consistently awesome as this one.
Now I might have to see them in concert too! They're playing a week after In Flames.
I shall have to get that one sometime!
In danish it's spelled Odin at least, so I don't know where the e comes from...
I got this album... it's defitely their best one. I can say this because I actually never really liked their previous efforts... but this latest release I really enjoy. It's real heavy with some awesome riffs... Plus the video for the single "runes to my memory" (http://youtube.com/watch?v=JFq2YJKYa-k) is freakin' awesome... especially the unison whilrwinding in the beginning.

Awesome video, thanks for the link!
Any chance of you going to see them at the Palladium?
No. Not a big enough fan to drive all the way there (especially since children of bodom are playing... those guys are terrible now).

its funny i just went and bought the cd at best buy
granted i had to go to a different best buy to get it, but just the fact that best buy even had it was pretty cool
great cd by the way :)
They're an awesome band. good melodic viking death metal
I saw Amon Amarth at Gates of Metal.
This band is freaking amazing. This new album...DAMN. They haven't had a bad album ever, as far as I'm concerned. This one matched "Versus the World"!
Also, I noticed they give a LOT to fans in each package. Like, my "Versus the World" CD has an extra CD of bonus material, re-recorded old songs, and a cover or two; And it was the same price as a regular CD. "With Oden on Our Side" has live recordings...and their live DVD has 4 concerts, working out to over 6 hours of music. I really love that!
