Amon Amarth are a melodic death metal band from Tumba, Sweden, active since 1992, whose music draws on Norse mythology and Viking history. Over three decades they grew from cult underground status into one of metal's most in-demand live acts, known for elaborate stage productions featuring longships and pyrotechnics. Singer Johan Hegg fronts a lineup completed by guitarists Olavi Mikkonen and Johan Söderberg, bassist Ted Lundström, and drummer Jocke Wallgren.
The band announced an autumn European tour 'The Allfather Awakens' for October and November 2026, including a stop in Prague (O2 universum, November 6, 2026), and confirmed the release of a new studio album at the end of 2026.
Amon Amarth and Dethklok jointly announced a spring North American co-headlining tour 'Amonklok Tour' (April-May 2026).
The band released the single 'We Rule the Waves' - the first new song since the album The Great Heathen Army (2022) - and released a music video for it.
Amon Amarth performed as the opening band for Slayer at two British concerts in Cardiff and London.
The band completed a North American tour as the opening band for Pantera.
