This song is almost a sequel to my favourite Amon Amarth song, "The Dragon's Flight Across The Waves", which told of the preparation for an epic Viking battle. Here we see the actual undertaking of a violent war on enemy territory. Simple and straightforward lyrical imagery, but the riff is powerful as hell and keeps the song rolling along. The drums are pulled off particularly well here, at the beginning of the song it's almost like a war-drum beating along to the carnage. Excellent stuff.
