head. (Fredrik Andersson still has a charming tendency to overplay bass drums, however.) The efficiency here approaches that of pop music. "Twilight of the Thunder God" is a barreling anthem about Thor (natch), "Where Is Your God?" is a barreling anthem about defeating the enemy (again, natch), and "No Fear for the Setting Sun" is yet another barreling anthem about battle. But the band switches speeds enough to prevent monotony. The driving pulse of "Free Will Sacrifice" evokes a down-tuned Judas Priest; "Guardians of Asgaard" is a mid-paced march with a surprisingly tender solo.

Though Amon Amarth sometimes get tagged as "death metal," that's not really accurate. Some of their riffs recall the sturm und drang of early Swedish death metal, and Hegg's vocal approach is pure death metal.Actor Shia LaBeouf used to be known as much for his bad-boy behaviour as his acting. He was even arrested for public drunkenness during the filming of his latest movie The Peanut Butter Falcon. But he says his wild ways are behind him and credits his co-star Zack Gottsagen with saving his life.

Zack plays Zac, a man in his early 20s who has Down’s syndrome and runs away from a state-run care home. In a case of art mirroring life, the two strike up an unlikely friendship on screen – and off. We went to meet them.
