Amon Amarth

Founded in 1992 in Tumba, Sweden, Amon Amarth have emerged as the undisputed kings of Viking heavy metal. Musically, the Swedes create a powerful hybrid of melodic death metal, Norse mythology, and epic melodies, which is given an unmistakable, dark, rumbling sound by lower-tuned guitars and Johan Hegg’s powerful vocals. With globally acclaimed albums such as "Twilight of the Thunder God" and more recent chart successes like "The Great Heathen Army", the Swedes have firmly established themselves at the top. Thanks to their shows, where thousands of fans regularly row across the metaphorical ocean, they are also among the absolute legends of the live music scene.
