Wonderful EP, early AA definitely has black metal influence, especially tremolo picking and frequent usage of scream. I kinda miss it in their modern albums
This is the real amon amarth, i think this is their best work, all sounds amazing!! I dont know why they dont play this songs, especiallly under the greyclouded winter sky
masterpiece!!!! from the begining to the end just a punch in the face The mighty doors... really takes you on a ride for your life !! Old amon are the great
This bears some similarities to second wave blackmetal (in sound and melodies). People who are baffled by the fact, that it sounds better than AA's later work, might find this information useful.
Still have this incredible EP from them. Amazing melodies, such a powerfull EP. Favorite part: 11:40. And Absolute favorite track is "The Mighty Doors of the Speargod's Hall". Amazing guitar work. But again the whole EP is amazing.
@@Sajgonsky I mean melodeath is a branch of death, so calling it death metal is legit, these sub genres are really only needed if your looking for a specific sound
I love all amon amarth albums. It seems like the older ones had more influence on the death metal side of music, and the new ones are more thrashy and their newer songs tell more stories about norse mythology. I personally think their best work as a band was Once Send From The Golden Hall, i think that that album is flawless. Either way, Long Live Amon Amarth, See you in Valhalla!
imagine this being your first alubum/ep as a band , and they at the time felt bad about themselves , even until , Versus the world which was their "hail mary" as a band hoping to make a future as professional musicians.
It's astounding, because anyone with an ear for music can hear in their earliest stuff (before they were even Amon Amarth) that they have the makings for platinum labels. As early as Thor Arise and Fimbul Winter you can hear the definitive AA sound.
I'd love it if they did a remaster to make it sound more crisp and perhaps the vocals a little more clear like in the newer albums but still full of that aggression that is missing in the newer albums.
I honestly think this is their best release, though I love all of theirs. I guess it's because this one is way more black influenced haha, but the riffs in here are CRIMINALLY good.
What's wrong with this underrated masterpiece compared to their most recent albums? Too raw? Too brutal? And yet this is one of the best ep ever. The rating on RYM is totally unacceptable (and somewhere else).
+gbuhnoezqayusioehf Fick RYM ( which I dont know even what is it). His music here was more raw and underdeveloped compared to now but The Arrival....and Burning Creation are already some serious songs
I came over this band in 1996 with this EP...and it totally kicked me...and still is kicking...the first song - Sorrow... is absolutely genial, music, singing, lyrics...
I got a 2 disc copy of "Versus the World" where songs in this EP were included in the 2nd disc. I had no idea until recently that they were written years apart. Maybe others have ignored this EP in the same way that I did, it certainly deserves more attention these days! Sounds like it was recorded straight out of Mt Doom
So beautiful! Does anyone know what's the guitar tuning? I'm not sure if it's B standard, like in their following albums. There's a tab for "The arrival of the Fimbul winter" where the tuning is C standard, I'm trying to write the tab for "Sorrow throughout the nine worlds" and C tuning seems to fit with the melodies, maybe it's C# because it seems to be the lowest chord. Thanks.
Anyone answer this? I heard a song, sounded exactly like johan hegg had a very melodic intro, sounded like was recorded in a garage. Great song so trying to find it. Thought it might have been a demo from early. 0s but unable to find it.. Worth asking

the previous singer was Paul Mäkitalo, but he only sang in the band Scum. Scum broke up back in 1991.Johan Hegg convinced the former members to reform, and Amon Amarth formed in 1992.
Samuel Lindström and to all.... Paul went on after Scum to front/ record with another guitarist from the Swedish scene named David parland aka BLACKMOON which they formed Dark Funeral!!!!!
Is this their first EP? their first songs? In the description we see that the songs ostensively are in the versus the world album but theres not. Do you guys know more about this? bcs in internet i find nothing about that.

Black metal influence!? that's stupid... Amon Amarth was Thrash Metal and have personally stated to be Death Metal. Today they are The Melodic Death Metal Band. Fate of the Norms to Jomsviking is the timeline of real development and success. I enjoy crusher and Avenger but Twilight of The Thunder God, Fate of the Norns, and With Oden on Our Side hands down are the greatest melodic death metal albums of my personal collection. Crusher's heavy crashing sounds and crashing feel "crushes" my heart every time. Amon Amarth certainly is my favorite band.
This is a lot better than their newer stuff.
Wonderful EP, early AA definitely has black metal influence, especially tremolo picking and frequent usage of scream. I kinda miss it in their modern albums
I know right? No one talks about their early black metal influences.
I need to show this ep and their demos to my black metal cousin
Yeah, I also noticed that bm influence
Nope this has zero bm
@@LunaRa22why? Thisnsint bm
This ep is a masterpiece
This is the real amon amarth, i think this is their best work, all sounds amazing!! I dont know why they dont play this songs, especiallly under the greyclouded winter sky
I like to think this is just too good to be played live
masterpiece!!!!

Oh the Bass sounds amazing in this album!
Before Ted used 5-string Bass
Still have this incredible EP from them. Amazing melodies, such a powerfull EP. Favorite part: 11:40. And Absolute favorite track is "The Mighty Doors of the Speargod's Hall". Amazing guitar work. But again the whole EP is amazing.
One of my favorite albums of all time!
This was my first Death Metal cd i bought...still one of the best!!
That's melodeath. ;)
@@Sajgonsky to be exact, that's melodic death metal with black metal influence, bruh

The self-titled track on this ep is still my favorite song by them to this day.
Masterpiece!
I fell in love with this sound, its great to see its birth
gawd, this so awesome, it gives me goosebumps....listened to the whole thing like 8 times already.

Truly awesome piece.

"Underdeveloped"? I would rather say more various.

this sounds like once sent from the golden hall my fav album. how inot heard this
Pure Melodic Black Metal
This brings back memories.
great stuff.
Ruthlessness in musical form
Amon Amarth is the real thing!
New press of the vinyl ordered and yes I will be flipping it for hundreds
1:15 Fantastic riff
Not the only :) Old Amon Amarth is the best :)
Better than recents but don't think it can beat some of the early 2000s stuff
Pure gold.
Where to get these traks for reasonable price on CD? Any compilations? I used to have that digipak.

Fate Turns Grey (CA) ????
Thor arise demo
Masterpiece... But why "Genre: Death Metal"? I think it sounds rather like black metal, or at least some crossover between them.
Older albums had black metal influences but their newer albums moved away from the BM sound and more towards melodic DM.
It's called Viking Metal 😎
Hail Odin!!

Is this still Johan singing? I know there was an earlier singer.
Maybe earlier...at the recording of the EP Jonah already joined the band, or at least that's what each wiki-stuff say
the previous singer was Paul Mäkitalo, but he only sang in the band Scum. Scum broke up back in 1991.Johan Hegg convinced the former members to reform, and Amon Amarth formed in 1992.
Samuel Lindström and to all.... Paul went on after Scum to front/ record with another guitarist from the Swedish scene named David parland aka BLACKMOON which they formed Dark Funeral!!!!!
Is this their first EP? their first songs? In the description we see that the songs ostensively are in the versus the world album but theres not. Do you guys know more about this? bcs in internet i find nothing about that.
Yes, is their first EP, it appears as a bonus disc of a special edition of versus the world, this was recorded in 1995

Nah, the sound quality is just not right on these old once, it all sounds like a bunch of noise to me.
and this is what sounds really cool. its that what makes a really cool old school touch and this what we hear also in other music genres. i like it :)
Obviously never listened to much pre-2000s metal then
If you clean out the dried cum in your ears it will sound amazing!!!
@@anembersarc If decently producted Amon Amarth from 1997 is noisy I wonder what old Sodom or Venom is.
@prowlingfrost5588 imagine what raw black metal would sound to them 💀

all that said I love this album along with avenger. Raw or polished they tell a good tale and deliver the Metal fix I need.
