Twilight of the Thunder God is Amon Amarth's seventh album, released in 2008 by Metal Blade Records. With a more professional production, it took the band to a new level, and the number of editions grew with it.
This page gathers my versions of the album, with photos, catalog numbers and pressing details: the original German 2LP limited to 1500 copies, the deluxe fan box set limited to 2000 copies, German and US picture discs, the UK Back On Black editions, the numbered coloured vinyl of the Metal Blade reissues and the 2022 Church Of Vinyl edition with its pop-up gatefold. On the CD side, there's once again a Japanese promo with its obi strip and a bonus DVD. And like on earlier albums, there's a mysterious picture disc with "XXX" instead of a number…
The gem of this page: the clear vinyl with black and orange splatter, originally part of The Story Of Metal Blade box set and later sold separately by Revolver Magazine and Brooklyn Vegan.
Test pressings: I have the ones for the German picture disc, the US picture disc and the Back On Black edition, but I'm still looking for the test pressings of the original German 2LP and of the Church Of Vinyl edition (only 5 made each).
