Amon Amarth announce The Allfather Awakens, a ten-song masterwork that further cements the legacy of the Swedish metal titan’s spectacularly memorable riffs and unflinching melodic aural power. The Allfather Awakens sees its release on October 2 via Metal Blade Records.
For Amon Amarth, a new album marks the beginning of a new world. As with previous records, Oden, the Norse “all father” who is a deity of war, wisdom, death, magic, and poetry, is the through-line in Amon Amarth’s lyrics and artwork. Once again, Oden is the band’s inspiration, but The Allfather Awakens is not a concept album, rather a collection of historically inspired epic tales of conflict and sacrifice for a greater good.
Following the release of Amon Amarth’s first-ever acoustic excursion Upphaf, the band unleash The Allfather Awakens’ opening track and epic tale of Gjallarhorn. Where the stripped-back Upphaf carried the solemnity of an oral history whispered under the shadow of the Allfather, Gjallarhorn arrives as a furious Amon Amarth classic.
