Amon Amarth

 Today in 2018 Amon Amarth released the album/DVD The Pursuit of Vikings: 25 Years in the Eye of the Storm

Stockholm,Sweden Melodic Death Metal

Status:Active

Years active: 1988-1992 (as Scum), 1992-present

Amon Amarth is a card-carrying member of a healthy Swedish death metal scene. There is little here that hasn't been done (or is being done) by fellow bands such as Hypocrisy or perhaps (earlier) In Flames, but they do deliver crunchy, energetic death metal with conviction and style. They've settled into a comfortable groove now, as their last few albums are virtually interchangeable with each other in terms of style and quality.
