They're alright. They started out great but progressively watered down a once promising idea more and more, becoming another band remembered mostly for their aesthetic than whatever little they had going for them musically.
Only Death Is RealOne of the better Melodic Death Metal bands, IMO. Not my favorite though, but still pretty good. Less watered-down than some others in the genre, I'll say that much for 'em...

On another forum AA was voted better than [[dethklok Metalocalypse]]. These dudes definitely get my seal of approval. Also the three songs, makes me adore the shit out of AA.
"I don't give a rat's ass about going to hell. I guess it's because I feel like I'm already there." -MugenYou might like these German guys if you enjoy Amon Amarth. On this album the lyrics were written by death row inmates facing imminent execution.

Only Death Is RealWell, I do prefer them to Dethklok, and I have nothing against Dethklok, really. The show's pretty funny, too.

You and I sir are going to get along just great. ^^

Favorite Amon Amarth album?

Saw them in '09; it was a badass show.

Lucky ^^
I would've had the chance to see them in February at Chicago's House Of Blues had I not had my whole self-conscious episode.
Oh well. Hopefully they perform again in 2015 or some time later again this year in Chicago.
"I don't give a rat's ass about going to hell. I guess it's because I feel like I'm already there." -MugenDon't dislike Amon Amarth, but saying they're better than Dethklok is really saying much.
For we shall slay evil with logic...
While I haven't been into Death Metal for too long this music group has become second to Dethklok for best Death metal band.
