For the last two decades, the Swedish metal titans have been the keepers of an age-old flame that has rarely flickered in fury, and their much anticipated twelfth studio album 'The Great Heathen Army' is set to be released on Friday, August 5th, 2022 via Metal Blade Records.
On their twelfth studio album, 'The Great Heathen Army', Viking heavy metal legends AMON AMARTH deliver an epic nine-track slab of pummelling melodic death metal with catchy melodies, choirs, and orchestral arrangements.
AMON AMARTH vocalist Johan Hegg shares his thoughts on the band's new album:
“Overall ‘The Great Heathen Army’ is one of the heavier albums we’ve made. There are some dark and heavy songs that are really powerful and in-your-face, but we obviously have some trademark melodic Amon Amarth songs on there as well, and a few surprises too. It’s a really well-balanced album. It sounds great. Andy Sneap is awesome. It was great to be able to work with him again.”
To celebrate the new album, AMON AMARTH has made their long-awaited return with a brand new song and video, 'Get in the Ring' (written for AEW pro-wrestling star Erick Redbeard), which can be seen below:
On the release of new single “Get In The Ring”, guitarist Olavi Mikkonen spoke:
“I really like ‘Get In The Ring’ which was written for our friend Erick Redbeard the pro wrestler as an ‘entrance’ song for him. The lyrics are obviously written to fit both Viking and wrestling themes, and you can also see Erick as the lead character in the new video for the song. We shot the video in Wroclaw, Poland with our friends Grupa 13 and they helped us create this dark and epic Mad Max meets Viking underground super brutal fight club for the video clip.”
Heading into battle with their strongest album to date, the mighty warriors of AMON AMARTH are prepared to conquer all. Behold!
