Just picked up Amon Amarths "twilight of the thunder god" and HOLY ****. For those who don't know, Amon Amarth is a swedish metal band who write songs about the times of the vikings and heathen gods. Thier music is best described as an updated version of In flames early melodic death metal style(think an updated version of the jester race). Pounding drums, melodic intertwining guitars with some hard hitting riffs on top, and Johan Heggs intimidating death metal growls........
For those who love guitar playing you'll love this album, Olavi Mikonen and Johan Soderberg put in an amazing performance, pounding rammstein like riffs and iron maidenesque twin lead breaks and a few solos that put Sam Totman and Herman Li from dragonforce to shame!...an inspirational album
"THOR, ODINS SON, PROTECTOR OF MANKIND, RIDE TO YOUR FATE, YOUR DESTINY AWAITS!"
**=recommended download
Tracklist 1.Twilight of the thunder god** 2.Free will sacrifice 3.Guardians of Asgaard** 4.Where is your god?** 5.Varyags of Miklagaard 6.Tattered Banners and Bloody Flags 7.No Fear For The Setting Sun** 8.The Hero 9.Live for the Kill** 10.Embrace of the Endless Ocean

You sound like the kind of guy who would like sonic syndicate... think of a band started based on the release of clayman.. with a little drip of atreyu vocals for the 'nice parts' and a drop of chick vocals here and there... plus brutal breaks and sweet riffage
EDIT: PS I saw Amon Amarth and In Flames last year at download festival... couldn't stand by the end of the set
