Amon Amarth releases 13th studio album ‘The Allfather Awakens’

Swedish melodic death metal band Amon Amarth has released their 13th studio album, ‘The Allfather Awakens’, via Metal Blade Records. The album follows their 2022 release, ‘The Great Heathen Army’.

Produced by Jacob Hansen at his studio in Denmark, the recording process took place across two sessions between spring 2025 and March 2026. The ten-track album features a shift in guitar sound, with the band returning to Marshall amplifiers. Notably, the track ‘Upphaf’ marks the band’s first entirely acoustic song, incorporating choirs and lyrics based on the Old Norse poem ‘Völuspá’.

To support the release, the band is launching a tour across the United Kingdom and Europe, including dates in countries such as England, France, Germany, Sweden, Finland, and Spain. The live production is expected to feature a new stage design inspired by Odin’s Golden Hall.
