Swedish melodic death metal band Amon Amarth is preparing for the October 2 release of their thirteenth studio album, ‘The Allfather Awakens’, via Metal Blade Records.

The band has shared details regarding the production process in Denmark with producer Jacob Hansen. Members Johan Hegg and Ted Lundström described a meticulous recording approach where songs were completed individually to ensure precision. Musically, the band is returning to a more classic guitar sound using Marshall amplifiers.

Lyrically, the album is a collection of tales inspired by Norse mythology and Viking history, specifically focusing on the god Oden. The band recently released the single ‘Eight Legs of Thunder’, which features a music video blending Norse mythology with a modern American Western aesthetic.
