The track was recorded and mixed in January 2021 at Fascination Street Studios in Sweden with producer Jens Bogren and was made available via the band's own label Victorious Music. This past February, AMON AMARTH released a standalone single, "Put Your Back Into The Oar", an ode to the epic Viking row. We shot the video in Wroclaw, Poland with our friends Grupa 13 and they helped us create this dark and epic Mad Max meets Viking underground super brutal fight club for the video clip." The lyrics are obviously written to fit both Viking and wrestling themes, and you can also see Erick as the lead character in the new video for the song.

On the release of new single "Get In The Ring", Mikkonen continues: "I really like 'Get In The Ring' which was written for our friend Erick Redbeard the pro wrestler as an 'entrance' song for him. But with that said, it's still very much contemporary AMON AMARTH, but perhaps style-wise we have gone back to our roots a little bit." If 'Berserker' was our 'heavy metal' album, then 'The Great Heathen Army' is our 'death metal' album. Guitarist Olavi Mikkonen adds: "We've been away making new music and we're back with new darker, more death metal-sounding album. It was great to be able to work with him again." There are some dark and heavy songs that are really powerful and in your face, but we obviously have some trademark melodic AMON AMARTH songs on there as well and a few surprises too. From the noisily rabble-rousing "Find A Way Or Make One" and the pummeling, pugilistic "Get In The Ring" to the evocative fury of "Saxons & Vikings" and the cinematic squall of the title track, "The Great Heathen Army" encapsulates the essence of this legendary band, while still allowing acres of space for new ideas.ĪMON AMARTH vocalist Johan Hegg comments: "Overall 'The Great Heathen Army' is one of the heavier albums we've made.
Recorded with esteemed studio guru Andy Sneap at the controls, "The Great Heathen Army" represents another bold leap forward for AMON AMARTH, as their trademark sound undergoes yet another skillful, evolutionary overhaul, both lyrically and musically. Today's announcement is highlighted by the release of brand new track and accompanying music video, "Get In The Ring", which was written for AEW pro-wrestling star Erick Redbeard, who also stars in the music video. These chewers of humanity throw death metal and goregrind with hints of well-placed groove and technicality into a blender, and after a few spins and grinds out comes albums like Grotesque Mastication of Putrid Innards and welcoming song titles like “Bizarre Museum of Eviscerated Whores” and “Your Rotting Body is My Art.” Their 13 Years of Masticating release provides a nice rotten sampler to their noise never has the gurgle been used to such percussive perfection, which comes up like pungent bubbles in a humid, swampy hell of the band’s music.Swedish melodic death metallers AMON AMARTH will release their twelfth studio album, "The Great Heathen Army", on August 5 via Metal Blade. The perverse gore of Davao City’s Human Mastication came to fruition in 2002. The Filipino metal volcano runs deep, as there are a ton more thrash, black metal and grind bands smoldering across the landscape. Today we’ll provide a sampler of some of the most brutal groups in the country. Take a look at festival flyers from the area and you’ll see dozens of logos in brutal typefaces. Death Manifestations, Mayhem Festival, Tagum Metal Fest and The Gathering of the Sick are but a few of the extreme metal festivals. The Davao Extreme Metal Festival might be the apex of brutal music in the nation so far, a two-day extreme metal festival featuring black, death and thrash bands.
Luckily, these bands aren’t hard to find there are as many as there are islands, and in the heavy arms race, the Filipinos can give the rest of the world a run for their money.
