Amon Amarth’s new album Jomsviking was just released on March 25th. Here’s their 2016 bio which includes an overview of the new album.
Heavy metal is a way of life, but it is not for the faint of heart. The history of metal is strewn with fading memories of bands that fell apart when times were tough. But history is written by the victors, and Amon Amarth have been marching purposefully from triumph to greater triumph for the last two decades. Formed amid the fertile Swedish metal scene in the mid ā90s, these dedicated diehards brought a new sense of drama and destruction to the world of heavy music, propagating tales of Viking mythology and mortal combat over a devastating soundtrack of crushing rhythms, refined melody and rousing, rebellious refrains. From the release of their debut album Once Sent From The Golden Hall in 1998, Amon Amarthās trajectory was firmly upward, as this bandās devotion to touring the world and spreading their inspirational creed began to resonate with ever-growing hordes of like-minded metalheads, first across Europe and then, in true Viking style, across the Atlantic and into North America.
With each successive album, Amon Amarthās reputation grew; their arsenal of heroic hymns gaining strength and depth at the same time. Once again waking from their post-victory slumber, Amon Amarth are due to return with their most monstrous and spectacular album to date.
A tour-de-force of cinematic melodic metal that combines the best of the genreās traditional wing with modern heft and heart, Jomsviking is a concept piece inspired by the elite Viking mercenaries of its title, conceived and written by Johan Hegg and brought to life by the band which for the recording sees drummer Tobias Gustafsson [ex-Vomitory] slotting in neatly as a special guest session drummer.
Veering from the thunderous attack of opening statement “First Kill” to the victorious heavy metal sing-along of “Raise Your Horns” and on to the brooding drama of the closing “Back On Northern Shores,” Jomsviking sounds colossal ā thanks, once again, to the supreme talents of producer Andy Sneap ā and confirms that Amon Amarth are bigger, bolder and better than ever before in 2016. Neither deviating from their trademark sound nor restricted by it, they have simply evolved to the next level of metallic might, broadening their sonic horizons while simultaneously glorying in their cherished metal influences.
Bolstered by the regal presence of legendary heavy metal vocalist Doro Pesch, who duets with Johan Hegg on the heart-rending squall of “A Dream That Cannot Be,” Jomsviking flies the flag for authentic, red-blooded and unapologetic heavy metal while skillfully tapping into metalheadsā unerring love for epic tales of heroism, struggle, love, death and glory. Plainly the finest record of their career to date, Amon Amarthās tenth album is certain to thrill and delight their global fanbase while the irresistible allure of Jomsvikingās cinematic heart will surely draw many more people into this bandās extraordinary sonic world. This campaign will not be stopped: 2016 will be the year that Amon Amarth conquer the world like never before.
āWe just want to be more,ā Mikkonen concludes. āBigger shows, more production, everything bigger and better. Iām pretty sure itās gonna be that way too. Thereās a very good vibe in the band and I think itās gonna be one hell of a year.ā
āThe shows are always absolutely fantastic,ā Hegg enthuses. āWhen youāre onstage, performing, whether itās a festival or a club, and you have that connection with people and you feel that reaction to all the hard work youāve put in, thatās when you know that all the hardships youāve experienced over the years were worth it. We are still growing. We grew with each album and we were never a trend. Weāve never followed trends and no trend has ever followed us. Weāre on our own. We do what we love. There are so many shows planned in 2016 that itās almost insane, but thatās what we live for.ā
