Amon Amarth to release 13th studio album ‘The Allfather Awakens’

Swedish melodic death metal band Amon Amarth is set to release their 13th studio album, ‘The Allfather Awakens’, on October 2 via Metal Blade Records. The new record focuses on the Norse god Odin, moving beyond previous mythological themes to center on the Allfather.

According to vocalist Johan Hegg, the band prioritizes personal satisfaction in their songwriting, noting that ‘if it pleases us, that is already the essential part.’ The recording process, overseen by producer Jacob Hansen in Denmark, involved a meticulous approach where each song was completed individually before moving to the next. This method resulted in a collection that includes the band’s first acoustic offering.

The upcoming album cycle will also feature a new stage production inspired by Odin’s Golden Hall, intended to create an immersive experience for fans.
