Les su\u00e9dois d\u2019Amon Amarth \u00e9trennent\nce jeudi 20 juin la premi\u00e8re \u00e9dition du Knotfest, excroissance du Hellfest et\nap\u00e9ritif d\u2019un jour \u00e0 l\u2019avance sur le m\u00eame site, en tr\u00e8s charmante compagnie\n(Slipknot, Rob Zombie, Sabaton, Ministry, etc\u2026), occasion pour nous de revenir\nopportun\u00e9ment sur leur dernier album, \u00ab Berserker \u00bb sorti il y a un\nmois et demi. Selon Wikip\u00e9dia (Emile Littr\u00e9 \u00e9tant taiseux sur ce mot provenant\ndu vieux norrois \u00ab berserkr \u00bb\u2026), \u00ab Berserker \u00bb d\u00e9signe \u00ab un\nguerrier-fauve qui entre dans une fureur sacr\u00e9e (..) le rendant surpuissant et\ncapable des plus invraisemblables exploits \u00bb ; le Berserker de\nStamford Bridge, d\u2019o\u00f9 est d\u2019ailleurs tir\u00e9 le th\u00e8me du huiti\u00e8me morceau des\ndouze composant ce disque (\u00ab The Berserker at Stamford Bridge \u00bb),\nconte le r\u00e9cit du guerrier Viking qui, uniquement pourvu de de sa hache de\nguerre, aurait occis pr\u00e8s de soixante-dix soldats anglais avant de p\u00e9rir \u00e0 son\ntour. Depuis, la Su\u00e8de a adh\u00e9r\u00e9 au March\u00e9 commun, aux biscottes, \u00e0 la pens\u00e9e\npolitiquement correcte, et le champ de bataille d\u00e9crit plus haut a \u00e9t\u00e9 am\u00e9nag\u00e9\nen un stade de Football connu de tous. Et en cette entame de troisi\u00e8me\nmill\u00e9naire, Amon Amarth fait revivre l\u2019espace d\u2019une \u00e9coute de ses\nenregistrements et de ses concerts, la ferveur de l\u2019\u00e9pop\u00e9e vikingesque, le sang,\nles tripes et les hurlements en moins (quoique\u2026).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Faisant suite au convaincant concept-album\n\u00ab Jomsviking \u00bb, qui a marqu\u00e9 la discographie Metal pour 2016, ainsi\nqu\u2019\u00e0 l\u2019enregistrement public \u00ab The Pursuit of Vikings (Live at Summer\nBreeze) \u00bb commercialis\u00e9 \u00e0 la fin de l\u2019ann\u00e9e derni\u00e8re,\n\u00ab Berserker \u00bb bat le fer forg\u00e9 tant qu\u2019il est chaud : les cinq\ncombattants de Thor ayant travers\u00e9, une nouvelle fois depuis l\u2019an mille, l\u2019Oc\u00e9an\nAtlantique pour l\u2019avoir grav\u00e9 \u00e0 Los Angeles sous la houlette de Jay Ruston (Anthrax,\nStone Sour, Steel Panther, etc\u2026), lequel leur a impos\u00e9 d\u2019enregistrer chaque\nmorceau l\u2019un apr\u00e8s l\u2019autre. Cette discipline a pour r\u00e9sultat une individualisation\ndes chansons, en rupture avec l\u2019interd\u00e9pendance qui dominait celles de\n\u00ab Jomsviking \u00bb. Une correction lexicale \u00e0 ce propos : Amon\nAmarth n\u2019\u00e9crit pas des morceaux ou des chansons, mais revendique cr\u00e9er des\n\u00ab Hymnes \u00bb. L\u00e0 o\u00f9 le norv\u00e9gien Einar Selvik et Wardruna redonnent existence\n\u00e0 l\u2019animisme scandinave, en toute retenue, minimalisme et m\u00e9ditation, Amon\nAmarth compose des chants \u00e9piques, destin\u00e9s notamment \u00e0 enflammer (au sens\npropre comme au sens figur\u00e9), les salles et les stades. Car, la folie furieuse\net virile de cette horde prend dimension suppl\u00e9mentaire, une fois la t\u00eate de\nleur Drakkar grandeur nature dispos\u00e9e entre deux jets de flammes g\u00e9antes sur\nles estrades du monde \u00e0 conqu\u00e9rir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La production op\u00e9r\u00e9e par l\u2019am\u00e9ricain,\nfusionnant graves (la rythmique et les vocalises tr\u00e8s \u00ab Cookie\nMonster \u00bb du colosse Johan Hegg) ainsi qu\u2019aigues (les soli<\/em> et\narrangements des guitares des duettistes Olavi Mikkonen et Johan S\u00f6derberg), conf\u00e8re\nun r\u00e9sultat des plus aboutis et contemporains. Amon Amarth est, avec ses\ncompatriotes d\u2019Arch Enemy, le grand ma\u00eetre du Death M\u00e9lodique su\u00e9dois, la furie\nbleut\u00e9e d\u2019Alissa White-Gluz en moins. Certains \u00e9l\u00e9ments de ce disque auraient d\u2019ailleurs\ntr\u00e8s bien pu avoir \u00e9t\u00e9 con\u00e7us par Michael Amott et les siens (\u00ab Raven\u2019s\nFlight \u00bb, \u00ab When Once Again We Can Set Our Sails \u00bb). Se d\u00e9gage, outre\nune \u00e9vidente intensit\u00e9 et puissance, une relative impression d\u2019uniformit\u00e9, aux\npremi\u00e8res \u00e9coutes tout du moins ; laquelle se mue en coh\u00e9sion une fois les\nsubtilit\u00e9s des douze pistes d\u00e9cel\u00e9es. On \u00e9vitera, \u00e0 ce titre, d\u2019accoler\nl\u2019adjectif \u00ab \u00e9pique \u00bb devant chacun des titres desdits hymnes, car\ntous le m\u00e9ritent sans exception : \u00ab Crack the Sky \u00bb, \u00ab Mj\u00f6lner,\nHammer of Thor \u00bb, \u00ab Shield Wall \u00bb, etc\u2026. L\u2019\u00e9pique\n\u00ab Fafner\u2019s Gold \u00bb ouvre l\u2019album sur des accords \u00e9lectro-acoustiques,\npetits-cousins lointains du \u00ab Battery \u00bb de Metallica en 1986,\nlaissant place \u00e0 une intensit\u00e9 musicale sans r\u00e9pit, d\u2019une dur\u00e9e totale de 57\nminutes. Seuls les tempi<\/em> changent quelque peu, alternant entre moyens et\nrapides. Le piano et guitares fines d\u2019\u00ab Into the Dark \u00bb viennent\nclore de fa\u00e7on presque touchante cette \u00e9pique magnifique livraison\nm\u00e9cr\u00e9ante. Pass\u00e9 le raid du 20 juin \u00e0 Clisson, Amon Amarth a pris date en vue\nd\u2019assi\u00e9ger le Z\u00e9nith de Paris le lundi 25 novembre de l\u2019an de gr\u00e2ce 2019.\nD\u2019ici-l\u00e0, l\u2019auditeur satisfait du contenu de \u00ab Berserker \u00bb s\u2019ach\u00e8tera\n\u00e9galement un rameur de salon, afin de se pr\u00e9parer dans des conditions id\u00e9ales \u00e0\ncette \u00e9pique soir\u00e9e.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n
