     Amon Amarth's fifth full-length isn't so different than
     its 2002 predecessor, The Crusher. Musically, Fate of
     Norns is Spartan death metal built on epic, anthemic
     melodies, a perfect example of the Iron Maiden/death
     metal fusion tagged the "New Wave of Swedish Heavy
     Metal." And lyrically it's still full of Viking
     imagery, as songs like "Valkyries Ride" and "The
     Pursuit of Vikings" attest. It's the same theme that
     these guys have been hammering at since their 1996
     debut mini-album, Sorrow Throughout the Nine Worlds.
     It's also a theme that literally hundreds of other
     Scandinavian bands have hammered at too, most of them
     leaving it a hackneyed corpse ready for the pyre. Which
     is where Amon Amarth have set themselves apart. These
     aren't just songs written about Vikings, they are
     written by Vikings. They're ready for death in "Arson"
     where one of five left to burn survives and comes back
     for revenge in that tracks' sequel, "Once Sealed in
     Blood." Blood lust themes aren't unusual, but Amon
     Amarth tackle them with a depth often lacking from
     their contemporaries. Which brings up the most
     intriguing track, "Fate of Norns": "No man should have
     to bury his child/Yet this has been my share/The tears
     I shed run bitter and wild/It's a heavy burden to
     bear." A knotty subject for a band and a style more
     given to crushing skulls than tears, but that kind of
     depth is what Amon Amarth have brought to Fate of Norns
     and what makes it stand out in a sea of barbarian
     pretenders.
