Amon Amarth

Swedish melodic death metal

Amon Amarth stand as one of Sweden’s defining forces in the global melodic death metal landscape. Since their formation in 1992, the band has become known for a powerful blend of aggressive yet melodic instrumentation, inspired by Norse mythology and epic storytelling. Their discography includes acclaimed releases such as The Great Heathen Army (2022) and the striking EP Heidrun (2023), marking them as mainstays within the death metal and melodic death metal genres.

Their live reputation is formidable, as highlighted by notable performances across the United Kingdom. In July 2025, Amon Amarth delivered commanding sets at Finsbury Park in London and Blackweir Fields in Cardiff, supporting legendary headliners Slayer—events that underscored their prowess on major festival stages. Their ability to captivate large audiences with their immersive and theatrical stagecraft continues to set them apart in the live music scene.

Looking ahead, Amon Amarth are headlining major UK venues in October 2026, including the Eventim Apollo London, O2 Apollo Manchester, and University of Wolverhampton at The Civic Hall, joined by support acts Orbit Culture and Soilwork. For those dedicated to melodic death metal and seeking the energy of live concerts, Amon Amarth’s gigs remain essential.
