Whatever you say, whatever you do, never forget that you’ll never be as metal as the viking horde Amon Amarth.
A while ago, they confirmed that they’re working on the follow-up to ‘Twilight of the Thunder God’. Now, Amon Amarth revealed that the upcoming album will be called ‘Surtur Rising,’ due on March 29, 2011.
Read on after the jump for some info about Surtur and some more stuff about the album.
Surtur is a jötunn, a giant in Norse mythology; according to Wikipedia, “Surtur is foretold as being a major figure during the events of Ragnarök; carrying his bright sword, he will go to battle against the Æsir, he will do battle with the major god Freyr, and afterward the flames that he brings forth will engulf the Earth.”
Recently, chef viking Johan Hegg told Terrorizer magazine the following about the album;
“Obviously, the songs are going to be AMON AMARTH — that’s what we’ve always done — but we wanted to put a little more edge to our sound, so hopefully that’s going to come out after the mixing and everything. We’ve laid down ten tracks, and as is usual for us, every one of them is going to end up on the album.”
