Style: Melodic death metal
Primary Emotions/Themes: An album like none other, melody and aggression mixed in a way that no other band ever could
Thoughts: This is it. The last death metal album that Sentenced ever released, and oh man did they go out with a bang.
If there is a short list of the best melodic death metal albums ever recorded, Amok has to be on that list. The riffs, oh man the riffs, are what make this album the masterpiece that it is. Any self proclaimed fan of melodic death metal can't listen to The War Ain't Over and not jam the fuck out to those riffs. And on top of that you have Taneli's unique vocals... it's melodic death metal perfection.
There's so much going on in these songs, no two songs are the same. No two riffs are the same. There's stuff that sounds like old school death metal, there stuff that sounds like rock and roll, there stuff that sounds like nothing else. It's a one of a kind album that stands head and shoulders above everything else the band ever released.
