Amon Amarth Sound the Horn

2026-08-18 by John Marinakis CONTRIBUTOR | 22 Comments
Amon Amarth have announced that their thirteenth studio album, The Allfather Awakens will arrive on October 2 through Metal Blade Records.

The Swedish melodic death metal veterans have accompanied the announcement with Gjallarhorn, the album's opening track. The ten-song record also features the previously released We Rule the Waves and acoustic single Upphaf and follows 2022's The Great Heathen Army.

The Allfather Awakens was recorded with producer Jacob Hansen across two studio sessions. Guitarist Olavi Mikkonen explained that the band completed each song -including its drums, guitars and vocals- before moving on to the next.

Amon Amarth will support the record with a UK and European headline tour beginning October 9. Orbit Culture and Soilwork will join them as special guests.

Tracklist:
1. Gjallarhorn
2. Eight Legs of Thunder
3. Kvasir's Blood
4. We Rule the Waves
5. Upphaf
6. Die With a War Cry
7. Raven God
8. The Allfather Awakes
9. Oden's Hunt
10. Ascending Like an Eagle

I think the biggest problem these guys have now is that all their shits sounded the same for a very long time

I also think it's cool as long as it doesn't go overboard, makes the show more diverse. But guess a death metal band can't have that and needs to have only brutal riffs for 90 minutes!!!

Nah they had a few solid records back in the day but they've definitely been boring for a long time now.

I still think WOOOS is a top tier melo death album though

Definitely a worse band than Falling in Reverse agreed

I would rank Amon Amarth's early material above the vast majority of melodeath which is why it frustrates me that they're on autopilot. If someone dissed Versus the World or Once Sent from the Golden Hall I would argue with them.
