Synopsis: I certainly can't claim to be the biggest Amon Amarth fan, whilst I have always enjoyed what they have done in the past I don't hold them in the same regard that many seem to do. In light of this I am surprised how much I am enjoying "Deceiver Of The Gods" which is certainly the most dynamic and engaging effort of their career to date. Maybe this is a result from the change to Andy Sneap, who has refreshed their sound, or a period of inspired song writing, the answer is probably a bit of both, either way this is Amon Amarth at their best. There are few surprises to be heard, other than the appearance of former Candlemass vocalist Messiah Marcolin on "Hel", so "Deceiver Of The Gods" will certainly appeal to long time followers but it also has the potential to sway those like me who never quite bought in previously.
