    Most of the Amon Amarth riffs are quite simple and easy to learn but they just sound awesome. Music doesnt need to be too complicated! One of my favourite bands and they are one of the reasons to keep my motivation up with guitar!

      >Most of the Amon Amarth riffs are quite simple
      No, they're not. They often use pedal tones, tremolo picking and string skipping. Simple riffs are the ones where you just chug basic power chords. What you're describing applies more to Rammstein. A beginner would definitely not be able to play most of Amon Amarth's songs. At least, play it cleanly.

      99% agree with you, but I did feel like "Back on Northern Shores" to end Jomsviking was a brilliant piece of songwriting, and "Twilight of the Thunder God" really does have an all-time great intro guitar riff. Just personal opinion, those early albums were fantastic.

    I promise I won't get deep into Norse mythology and Amon Amarth....
    Me after 15 horns of mead:
    There comes Fenris twin
    His jaws are open wide
    The serpent rises from the waves.
    Jormundgandr twists and turns
    Mighty in his wrath the eyes are full of primal hate
    Thor, Odin's son protector of mankind
    Ride to me your fate, your destiny awaits

    Ride to meet your fate, Ragnarok awaits.

    I haven't really listened to Amon Amarth in YEARS, but this video definitely reminded me how awesome they are. Here are my picks:
    Bastards of a Lying Breed
    Guardians of Asgaard
    Death in Fire
    Cry of the Blackbirds
    Raise Your Horns
    Fate of Norns
    Pursuit of Vikings
    Asator
    Without Fear
    Gods of War Arise

    Man you gotta listen to their old albums because the riffs from that age are masterpieces. Better than most of these in my opinion, even more melodic and strong

      Yup, victorious march and metalwrath are really good.

      Slaves of Fear has really good riffs. So does Bastards of A Lying Breed and Thousand Years of Oppression.
