Holy shit, this is a badass album cover! You simply can’t go wrong with Thor battling a giant sea creature, it’s snaking tongue in hand and Mjolnir glowing, ready to strike with fire and lightning in the distance. Fuck. Yes.
Amon Amarth rarely fail to impress in either the artwork or most importantly, the music of each of their releases. Plus, without fail, they always seem to have the most killer album and track titles. ‘Twighlight of the Thunder God’? Yeah, that’s right… awesome. Just take a look at a small sampling of the song titles from this album and tell me they don’t make you immediatly want to windmill your hair and axe some punk in the back of the skull while chugging a goblet of mead. ‘Where is Your God?’, ‘Tattered Banners and Bloody Flags’, ‘Embrace of the Endless Ocean’, ‘Live for the Kill’. That’s pure viking badassedness right there.
Click the album cover above to bask in it’s embiggened glory, and expect this album to crush your nuts and melt your face September 30th.
