AMON AMARTH The Great Heathen Army (2022) Latest Release

Nobody plays melodic death metal about Vikings the way Amon Amarth does. Nobody else has even come close.

The Swedes have been at this since 1992 and The Great Heathen Army proves they've still got absolutely nothing to prove to anyone. This is the sound of a band who perfected their formula and just kept going deeper into it, massive riffs, Johan Hegg's voice like a longship hull splitting open, and lyrics that make Valhalla feel like a real destination. The 2022 LP is a proper heavy vinyl edition, the kind of record you play loud enough to disturb the neighbours and feel zero remorse about it. Dark aesthetic, horns-up energy, essential for any serious metal collection.

Full length album. Black vinyl LP. Swedish release.
