A fan of Amon Amarth, are you?
Want a slightly different sound for your Viking metal?

Andy La Roque (King Diamond/Death, etc.) has turned the knobs for these Swedish fellows who, like Amon Amarth, wallow in our Norse heritage. And it's wellworth a listen.

There are many similarities between King of Asgaard and their popular compatriots, however, there is no reason to hold that against them - they are not an Amon Amarth clone as I see it. The songs are epic in nature, but in many instances slightly  rougher and more up-tempo than Amon Amarth's extremely melodic death metal.

Not thereby indicated that 'Fi'mbulvintr' is less accessible. Not so. It's basically a mixture of well-played heavy metal and death metal and therefore goes right in with its very melodic solos and groovy sections.
