About
Amon Amarth, Swedish melodic death metal carved in Viking themes since 1992.
Over 20 vinyl releases including original Metal Blade albums and limited editions with premium pressings.
Amon Amarth evolved from their early days under the name Scum into a steady force of melodic death metal. Their lyrics focus on Viking imagery and Norse mythology, reflecting a thematic cohesion throughout their catalog. They recorded their first demos prior to securing a deal with Pulverised Records, releasing the MCD 'Sorrow Throughout The Nine Worlds' with producer Peter Tägtgren.
Since signing with Metal Blade Records, the band has steadily released albums that highlight their blend of aggressive instrumentation and melodic phrasing, such as 'Once Sent from the Golden Hall' (1998) and 'Twilight of the Thunder God' (2008). Their lineup stabilized in the late 1990s, enabling consistent studio output and international touring.
