OFFICIAL HOMEPAGE

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.
