News: Amon Amarth

Swedish metal band Amon Amarth entered on studio (May 1st) to begin tracking their seventh full-length album. Tracking will take place at Fascination Street Studios in Örebro, Sweden with Jens Bogren producing. The band comments:

"We have ten killer songs, some classic Amon Amarth tunes, some really epic moments and some of the most brutal stuff we've ever written! We are confident that this will be our best and most diverse album to date! Jens Bogren will be producing the album, he produced With Oden On Our Side. We're looking forward to yet another successful collaboration. We'll barricade ourselves for the next month and a half. The album will be recorded in the traditional way, starting with drums, followed by guitars, bass, and vocals. There are plans for some cool guest appearance but nothing we can reveal just yet."

The album will hit stores later this year via Metal Blade Records.

About Amon Amarth

Around the year 500 A.C. the Vikings set sail to conquer new lands, leaving nothing but death and destruction in their wake. 15 centuries later, AMON AMARTH, their only true heirs, are repeating history with guitars as their weapons and death metal as their battle cry.Since their humble start in 1992 as an underground band from Tumba, a suburb in southern Stockholm, AMON AMARTH have managed to establish themselves as one of Europe’s top death metal acts through hard work, relentless touring, and consistently solid albums. What has set AMON AMARTH apart from the rest of the death metal scene since the very beginning, is their use of Viking mythology and imagery in lyrics and artwork, as well as a talent for writing epic, memorable melodies, which underline their solemn yet barbaric approach to heavy music.
