About the Artist

Amon Amarth, hailing from Tumba, Sweden, have carved a formidable reputation for themselves as one of the most compelling forces in the death metal scene. Formed in 1992, the band has consistently delivered a powerful blend of melodic death metal, infused with lyrical themes deeply rooted in Viking history, mythology, and warfare. Their signature sound is characterised by Johan Hegg's commanding guttural vocals, Olavi Mikkonen and Johan Söderberg's intricate guitar work, Ted Lundström's driving bass lines, and Jocke Wallgren's thunderous drumming. Over the decades, they have released a string of critically acclaimed albums, including 'The Cruel Master', 'The Avenger', 'Versus the World', 'Fate of Norns', 'With Oden on Our Side', 'Twilight of the Thunder God', 'Surtur Rising', 'Deceiver of the Gods', and 'Jomsviking', culminating in their latest offering, 'The Great Heathen Army'.
