Amon Amarth - 'Twilight of the Thunder God' (Bloodstock 2024)

There comes Fenris' twin
His jaws are open wide
The serpent rises from the waves
Jormungandr twists and turns, mighty in his wrath
The eyes are full of primal hate

Thor, Odin's son, protector of mankind,
Ride to meet your fate, your destiny awaits
Thor, Hlódyn's son, protector of mankind,
Ride to meet your fate, Ragnarök awaits

Vingthor rise to face the snake with hammer high
at the edge of the world
as lightning fills the air
as Mjöllnir does it's work
the twinfold serpent roars in pain

Thor, Odin's son, protector of mankind,
Ride to meet your fate, your destiny awaits
Thor, Hlódyn's son, protector of mankind,
Ride to meet your fate, Ragnarök awaits

Mighty Thor, grabs the snake
firmly by its tongue
lifts his hammer high to strike
soon his work is done

Vingthor slays the guardian snake
leading to the death
twilight of the thundergod
Ragnarök awaits
twilight of the thunder god
twilight of the thunder god
twilight of the thunder god
twilight of the thunder god

Στο φετινό μουσικό φεστιβάλ Bloodstock Open Air εμφανίσθηκαν στις 11 Αυγούστου του 2024 (και) οι Amon Amarth κι έχουμε στην διάθεσή μας, σε βίντεο, την απόδοσή τους στο τραγούδι "Twilight of the Thunder God", το οποίο γνωρίσαμε μέσα από τον ομότιτλο δίσκο των Σουηδών metallers που κυκλοφόρησε το φθινόπωρο του 2008.

Οι Amon Amarth (οι οποίοι οφείλουν το όνομά τους στον J.R.R. Tolkien's και στο έργο του "The Lord of the Rings") υπάρχουν στα μουσικά δρώμενα από τα τέλη της δεκαετίας του ογδόντα (αρχικά ως Scum) κι έχουν κυκλοφορήσει μία... ντουζίνα ολοκληρωμένους δίσκους...
