History YMMV / AmonAmarth

* FaceOfTheBand: You don't even have to be a fan of the band to be able to pick out Johan Hegg and his legendary beard.

** "Back on Northern Shores", the closing track of their ConceptAlbum "Jomsviking", is the sad conclusion of a tearful story. After going through many tribulations, a young-boy-turns-jomsviking comes back home to enact his vengeance. He blames his former village for destroying his life, for making him an outlaw after killing a man and for making the girl he loves forget him. His forces come close to his goal, but fate catches up with him first when he ends up dead at the hands of none other than [[OffingTheOffspring his own father]].

* TearJerker: To some fans, "The Fate of Norns" (song). "Fate of Norns" tells of a Norse warrior who is laying to rest his six-year-old son, calling out to the gods and the Norns and stricken with grief demanding to know why they took his child from him. In the end, [[DrivenToSuicide he chooses to lie on the funeral pyre with his son]].

%%** The final verse of "Embrace of the Endless Ocean"
%%--->''Won't feel the breeze of my home shore''\\
''Nor see the lakes and winter snow''\\
''My hopeful dreams lie ripped and torn''\\
''Father, I die alone''

** And "Runes to my Memory".
-->''Here I lie,''
-->''On wet sand,''
-->''I will not make it home.''
-->''I clench my sword,''
-->''In my hand;''
-->''Say farewell to those I love.''

* ItsTheSameSoItSucks: This was the main complaint about ''Berserker''. Many fans saw the songs as rehashings of older material.

* CompleteMonster: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2N89AreXrk Where Silent Gods Stand Guard]]": [[AxCrazy The Viking]] is an [[ImAHumanitarian cannibalistic]], undead BloodKnight who [[EstablishingCharacterMoment opens the song]] by beheading 10 men, relishing in their pleas for mercy. Devouring their eyes and drinking their blood to make them his slaves while additionally [[BarredFromTheAfterlife barring them from the afterlife]], the Viking mounts their skulls on his shrine as "macabre trophies", of which he has at least a thousand.

* AwesomeMusic: To some fans, all of their work. To others, just some albums. Probably ''Versus the World'', or ''With Oden On Our Side'' or ''Twilight of the Thunder God''. Really, their epic-norse-gods-axe-and-hammering-each-other-warfare-and-glory melodic death metal thing can be quite compelling.

* {{Narm}}: The other possible chance. Some people just find them over-the-top or over-confident melodeath, either their lyrics or the music itself, specially if they're fans of not-melodeath death metal. Also the toy lines..
