Sweden's Viking metal titans AMON AMARTH have released a new single, "We Rule The Waves", and its accompanying video.
With "We Rule The Waves", AMON AMARTH returns with its first new song in years and unleashes a war cry worthy of the gods — an unstoppable surge of galloping riffs, wave splitting melodies, and Viking fury. Produced with the help of Grammy-nominated producer and mix engineer Jacob Hansen (VOLBEAT, ARCH ENEMY, THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, KATATONIA),this is more than a song — it's a sonic raid, carved from salt and steel, echoing across oceans. Modern metal doesn't get more epic, or more essential, than this.
The video for "We Rule The Waves", shot in Riga, Latvia, continues the band's collaboration with Pavel Trebukhin of Tre Film, who directed the band's "The Great Heathen Army", "Heidrun" and "Saxons & Vikings" videos.
AMON AMARTH comments: "'We Rule The Waves' is our tribute to the spirit of freedom, brotherhood, and the will to conquer — not just lands, but your own limitations. It's about standing tall with your clan, facing the storm head-on, and carving your mark into the world like a Viking longship through blackened seas."
In conjunction with the new song's arrival, AMON AMARTH has also announced the release of limited-edition special merchandise available from the band's Victorious merch store.
Earlier this week, AMON AMARTH kicked off their U.S. live takeover with PANTERA. Accurately dubbed "The Heaviest Tour Of The Summer", the U.S. amphitheater tour commenced on July 15 in Burgettstown, Pennsylvania and will wind its way through over two dozen cities, coming to a close on September 13 in West Palm Beach, Florida. Additional support is being provided by SNAFU, SHOCK NARCOTIC, KING PARROT and FLESH HOARDER on select dates. Not to be missed, AMON AMARTH is armed with as much of their infamous theater production as the stage can handle.
Last August, AMON AMARTH frontman Johan Hegg was asked by Germany's Rock Antenne if he and his bandmates had commenced work on the follow-up to 2022's "The Great Heathen Army" LP. He responded: "To be honest, we've been starting to talk about a new album, but we haven't started working on it yet. So we don't really know. That's the simple answer."
He added: "I've been working on some lyrical ideas. I know the [other] guys have some musical ideas, but we haven't started putting anything together yet. So it's just really in its infancy. So there's really nothing to say."
"The Great Heathen Army" was released in August 2022 via Metal Blade Records. The LP was recorded with acclaimed British producer Andy Sneap, who previously worked with the band on 2013's "Deceiver Of The Gods" and 2016's "Jomsviking" albums.
