Performer Notes

Amon Amarth: John Hegg (vocals); Johan Soderberg, Olavi Mikkonen (guitar); Ted Lunstrom (bass); Fredrik Andersson (drums).
Recorded in November 2000.
Personnel: Johan Hegg (vocals); Johan S”derberg, Olavi Mikkonen (guitar); Fredrik Andersson (drums).
Audio Mixer: Peter T„gtgren.
Recording information: Abyss (11/2000); Das Boot Studios (11/2000).
Arranger: Amon Amarth.
After nearly a decade of recording and a few lineup overhauls, each contributor to Amon Amarth's previous effort, Avenger, stuck around for The Crusher. Original members Johan Hegg (vocals) and Olavi Mikkonen (guitars) are again joined by Fredrik Andersson on drums, Johan S”derberg on guitar, and bassist Ted Lundstr”m. There is nothing new on this outing to surprise fans of this band's familiar Scandinavian death metal. The riffing from guitar and drums is workmanlike, and Hegg's vocal rants carry all the requisite ferocity. During slower, more musically focused numbers like "As Long as the Raven Flies" and the opener, "Bastards of a Lying Breed," certain attributes of '80s thrash and song-driven metal create spaces that enhance the rest of this album's dense material. The Crusher blends seamlessly with the rest of Amon Amarth's Metal Blade catalog. There isn't a standout among these recordings, as their textural differences are negligible. Listeners who enjoy this kind of metal should certainly check out Amon Amarth, and The Crusher would be a good place to start. ~ Vincent Jeffries

A very under rated release. One of Amon Amarth's best. The vocals here are very strong. The guitar riffs are a real standout on this album, being rather thrashy, yet really memorable. The lyrics kinda remind me of Bathory, the drumming is fast and the guitar solo's are very good.
