Viking Rock

Amon Amarth Under The Influence 

Viking metal gods came out with a ep of covers of 4 classic metal bands Motörhead, Judas Priest, AC/DC, and Black Sabbath.  

Burning Anvil Of Steel is a cover of   and it absolutely sounds like an old school metal song but with a giant, drunk Swedish man growling at me. 

Satan Rising has the same drunken Swedish man reach a surprising register as he does an amazing job imitating Ozzy instead of doing a death metal growl. 

Snake Eyes has the giant Swede putting on more of rock voice and the guitar solo is spot on.  

Stand Up To Go Down came on and I instantly knew that this was going to be a great rendition of AC/DC. 

This EP is a buy for anyone who loves covers especially when bands do a good job covering these songs. Also the fact that these are some really obscure songs makes it even more of a jewel.
