A Brief History

The Swedish melodic death metal outfit was formed in 1992 in Tumba. The group is composed of Jocke Wallgren (drummer), Johan Söderberg (rhythm guitarist), Ted Lundström (bassist). Johan Hegg (vocalist) and Olavi Mikkonen (lead guitarist). They have released 10 music videos, 1 video album and 11 studio albums. Their first album, titled Once Sent from the Golden Hall, was released in 1998. They released five more albums before coming out with their breakthrough album called Twilight of the Thunder God (2008). This album peaked at number 50 on the US Billboard 200 and at number 10 on the Swedish album charts. Their subsequent albums, including Berserker and Jomsviking, were also commercially successful.

Artistry and Musical Style

They used to play grindcore music under their previous name, Scum. Later in 1992, the group changed its name to Amon Amarth and began playing melodic death metal. The lyrics of their songs are based on the pre-Christian world, the Viking Age and the Norse mythology. Hence, they are often labeled as Viking metal.

After having successful tours in the past, the metal monsters are back with the ‘Berserker’ World Tour. This tour will showcase a number of mind-blowing performances, so don’t miss out on this epic heavy metal party.
