News: Amon Amarth Unveil "Forging Mjölnir" documentary

Today AMON AMARTH reveals a trailer for their forthcoming mini documentary which can be viewed at http://www.metalblade.com/amonamarth. Fittingly titled Forging Mjölnir, the short film will appear as a three-part series with each official segment slated to premiere via the band's microsite at http://deceiver.amonamarth.com. 

The Forging Mjölnir documentary comes in anticipation of AMON AMARTH's ninth studio offering, Deceiver of the Gods. Recorded at Backstage Studios in Derbyshire, UK, and produced, mixed and mastered by Andy Sneap (Opeth, Megadeth, Exodus, Arch Enemy, Killswitch Engage), the follow-up to the band's critically acclaimed 2011 Surtur Rising full-length delivers ten fiery battle hymns made of buzzsaw riffs and epic harmonies all driven by vocalist Johan Hegg's commanding Viking roar and absorbing accounts of Norse crusades and treachery. Deceiver of the Gods comes adorned with another outstanding Tom Thiel-created cover portraying a mythical battle between the Norse Gods Loki and Thor. As an added bonus,Messiah Marcolin (Candlemass) makes an appearance as guest vocalist on eighth track, "Hel."


 

Deceiver of the Gods will be released in the UK via Metal Blade Records June 24th.
