 The riffs and arrangements of the entire album are the classic solutions of the genre, which do not provide any expressive personality to the band.

 Recommended only for the closest fans, for the rest, steer clear.

Fate Of Norns by Amon Amarth remains heavy and energetic but lacks the creativity and expressiveness of their earlier works. The album features classic genre riffs and good technical execution but suffers from redundancy and boredom. Notable songs include "An Ancient Sign Of Storm" and the title track, which offer some melody and impact. Recommended only for dedicated fans. Discover if Fate Of Norns lives up to the Viking metal hype — listen and judge for yourself!

 A very curious aspect of this album is the use of the Rieti dialect as in the song 'U Paesanu Curiusu,' in honor of the group’s place of origin.

 'Un giorno nero' is the song that represents them the most, characterized by a very reggae, lively and catchy chorus.
