Amon Amarth – release brand new album and release “The Allfather Awakes” video

Swedish metal legends AMON AMARTH unleash their essential new album The Allfather Awakens, today via Metal Blade. The ten-song masterwork marks the beginning of a new world and further cements the legacy of their spectacularly memorable riffs, unflinching melodic aural power and powerfully rendered lyrics. Three decades in, AMON AMARTH remain a band of brothers, and that loyalty and unity allow for harmony and a united front that conquers both the stage and record.

For AMON AMARTH, a new album marks the beginning of a new world. As with previous records, Oden, the Norse “all father” who is a deity of war, wisdom, death, magic, and poetry, is the through-line in AMON AMARTH’s lyrics and artwork. Once again, Oden is the band’s inspiration, but The Allfather Awakens is not a concept album, rather a collection of historically inspired epic tales of conflict and sacrifice for a greater good. 

The Allfather Awakens includes AMON AMARTH’s first-ever acoustic excursion “Upphaf” which carries the solemnity of an oral history whispered under the shadow of the Allfather. The album’s following singles “Gjallarhorn” and “Eight Legs of Thunder” arrived as furious AMON AMARTH classics. Today’s focus track “The Allfather Awakes” encompasses the album’s overall theme – “wisdom, knowledge and facts need to become the guide for the future,” cautions frontman and lyricist Johan Hegg.
