Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album is rated in the top 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.6/100, a mean average of 74.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 21.3.

As of 2023 maybe their most "atmospheric" album. Apart from the great "Death in fire" the songs are compared to their other albums rather slow and "carried".
"As silent gods stand guard" might be my favorite song of the album, but also "Thousand Years of Oppression" and "... And Soon the World Will Cease to Be" come close. All are very melodical but stand out against the others. The title track and "Across the rainbow bridge" are also great songs with great riffs, the rest is still really good but compared to the others they fall of a little bit.
Classic "Amon Amarth" themed lyrics, maybe their most "silent" album, which i like very much.
