AMON AMARTH. What else do you need to know?
Not many bands can claim their ninth album as the most powerful, dynamic, and downright aggressive of their career, but then AMON AMARTH have consistently upped their game with every successive release. Having exploded onto the Swedish melodic death metal scene with 1998’s Once Sent From The Golden Hall, every album has arrived bursting at the seams with power, melody and immersive story telling centered around the richness of Norse mythology. Deceiver Of The Gods captures the quintet at the peak of their powers.
The Swedish five piece is about to release the band’s ninth studio master piece Deceiver Of The Gods. Again AMON AMARTH have reached another level. This is the best record they did to date. And it makes them leave any known genre. No more death metal. The band has created a genre of its own.
This wrecking ball was produced by legendary Andy Sneap who did a brilliant job on Deceiver Of The Gods . Maybe his best work so far! Another legend as well made it onto this album. Messiah Marcolin of CANDLEMASS enriched the track „Hel“. What may irritate you reading it will convince you while listening.
Limited edition BOX set contains of the digipak version of the new album and the Under The Influence bonus CD with new tracks performed in the style of bands that influenced AMON AMARTH the most, all living legends in Hard Rock and Heavy Metal: JUDAS PRIEST, BLACK SABBATH, MOTÖRHEAD and AC/DC.

Comments vocalist JOHAN HEGG: "We feel very excited about this new album, and personally I feel that Deceiver of the Gods is the strongest album we've ever done. By far! I'm confident that all our fans will enjoy this 'punch-in-the-face-of-a-record!"
