BRUAL DEATHMETAL PRO
Speaking about the new song and its accompanying music video, Mikkonen says, “I really like Get In The Ring which was written for our friend Erick Rowan the pro wrestler as an ‘entrance’ song for him. But with that said, it’s still very much contemporary AMON AMARTH, but perhaps style-wise we have gone back to our roots a little bit.”Īlongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for the first song lifted from the upcoming album Get In The Ring. If Berserker was our ‘heavy metal’ album, then The Great Heathen Army is our ‘death metal’ album. Guitarist Olavi Mikkonen adds, “we’ve been away making new music and we’re back with new darker, more death-metal sounding album. It was great to be able to work with him again.” There are some dark and heavy songs that are really powerful and in-your-face, but we obviously have some trademark melodic AMON AMARTH songs on there as well, and a few surprises too. Speaking about the upcoming album, vocalist Johan Hegg shares, “overall The Great Heathen Army is one of the heavier albums we’ve made. Instrumentation is also brutal as hell, with unrelenting pounding drums that don’t let up and riffs that make you eargasm (AHEM “Cremated Existence”), and overall, I felt like the god of brutality.Titled The Great Heathen Army, the upcoming album from the Viking-themed melodic death metal band is the follow-up to 2019’s Berserker, and is scheduled to be released in August this year, via Metal Blade Records. The overall feeling I get listening to this album every time is that I’m hell’s most feared executioner and torturer (named Barbinias), and the song titles are the ways I torture. Oh, and in case no one knows, Ingested is my absolute favorite band as well. Not to mention, Jay Evans (the vocalist), sounds like a literal monster from hell’s third circle (gluttony), and no one can top his growls for me. All songs on the album are GREAT, with “Cremated Existence” probably being my absolute favorite. Another name I could give it is Golgrothor. Well, on this album, it’s the creature I named Τρόμος, which is the Greek word for “terror”, and I can see why it deserves this name. With Ingested’s albums I always assumed that whatever creature or person was on it was where the vocals were coming from. This album for me is the absolute definition of “brutal”, and so is its cover. No matter what anyone says, no one, and I mean NO ONE can tell me that there isn’t a more brutal band than Ingested or a more brutal album than Surpassing the Boundaries of Human Suffering. The album art reminds me of the SCP Foundation, and it reminds me of an SCP similar to SCP-682 escaping confinement. And a bit of personal reasoning, this is an album I play if I’m playing Dead Island and killing zombies. Seriously, who couldn’t recognize the opening of “Remnants of the Tortured” or “The Last Communion”? The songs on the album are all great, and this is one of the albums I have a shirt to. But this album here, released in 2012, is a great definition of brutal death metal with easily recognizable riffs. I honestly didn’t like that album but it was my first introduction to slam, mainly from the song “Blindfold Surgery”, which for me around 3 years ago was a brutal song. Although I personally consider this album as brutal death metal, their debut, In the End of Human Existence, was slam. In case no one knows, these Russians are not to be messed with in the slam community. These Brits are the king of ridiculousness in slam and in a good way. The instrumentation is brutal too, and the vocals as I said are just ridiculously brutal that they are both funny and sick at the same time. The album cover is brutal too, and the title is obviously a play on The Silence of the Lambs. They’re incredibly long, but I’ve never seen such strange song titles before such as “Elephantitis Jimmy Hill Style Gigantic Chin Pandas” or “Shittifying Quaffage of Hideous Smegmatic Rectal Chunder”, and “Velocirapist and the Slamasorearse Sex.” It’s brutal in the ridiculous way and because of that I love it. It’s a strange cricket type sound, but it sounds more metallic than what I heard on #3 (coming up next), and because of that, much weirder. When I first heard it, I had no idea what to make of it. The vocal style used is unlike anything I’ve heard before. To be honest I have no words for how insane the vocalist is on this.
