Amon Amarth: The Great Heathen Army Review
Amon Amarth are Swedish melodic death metal masters. They often referred to as Viking metal because of their lyrical content, which deals with the history and mythology of the Viking world. Their music is characterized by epic tales of battles and the Viking Age and pre-Christian times.


Amon Amarth, founded in 1992 in Tumba in Sweden, has since become one of the most influential and popular bands within European metal. Amon Amarth is also known for their energetic live shows and has won over metal enthusiasts from around the globe with their unique style of metal.


Their first demo, Thor Arise, was released in 1993. They have since released 10 albums, with each one delivering the heaviness and power that Amon Amarth are known for.


The Great Heathen Army is their 12th full-length album and it's a more diverse, balanced album. The Great Heathen army has the same heavy sound and trademark riffs of the band, but is an extremely polished record. Andy Sneap's pristine production (Judas Priest Accept Megadeth) assists in bringing out the power and doesn't overshadow songs.

The Great Heathen Army opens with a soaring, upbeat "Get In The Ring". It is a pounding bassline as well as a beautiful guitar solo from Olavi Mikkonen, who has continued to impress with his incredible abilities with each new album.


"Pursuit of Vikings" is a second standout the song, which has a moshpit-ready chorus break and an epic conclusion. When the song is over, the crowd is enthralled in the chorus game. The song is a huge success with thousands of Amon Amarth supporters stomping and screaming at the tops of their high-pitched voices.


The song was among Amon Amarth's greatest tracks on The Great Heathen Army and quickly became one of their most well-known songs. It's a rousing track which features Amon Amarth's most energetic and impressive riffs, while Hegg's vocals are roaring and are distinctive and unforgettable quality.


Amon Amarth is a band who are skilled at creating songs that are anthems. They can make the crowd do anything, from scream like a banshee to leap around to row in time to the beat. Amon Amarth is renowned for the use of massive anthems during their live shows. The tour this year will see them perform at both arenas and smaller clubs.
