Lately I’ve been finding that there are so many new and exciting things happening with the bands that I enjoy listening to. I’ve also been finding that I have less and less time to take a few moments and really absorb what I’m hearing, which is unfortunate. Kalmah and Amon Amarth have both released tracks off of their upcoming albums:
Both of these tracks deliver what is expected of each band: an uncompromising sound that has remained true to what fans love and expect. A good way to build anticipation? I think so.
Amon Amarth is also releasing a documentary entitled “Forging Mjölnir”.
It does request that you log in with Facebook, and choose a side (being either Thor or Loki) in order to watch. After giving it a preliminary once-over, I like the idea. The interviews are insightful into both Norse mythology and the concept of the upcoming ‘Deceiver Of The Gods’ album. It sheds some light on what the album is focused around, especially if one is not familiar with Norse lore. It’s worth a view if you have a few moments.
There are a few more things I have seen in the last few days I’d like to share and comment on, but unfortunately the realities of life are calling and I will have to save them for later. A rainy afternoon in which I have nothing to catch up on besides writing blog material would be ideal right about now.
