The album is produced by the bands founders Marcus Sunesson and Niclas Engelin and is mixed by Jacob Hansen (Volbeat). To celebrate the release, the band has just premiered the first video and todays tune “Salvation”, taken from “Raven Kings”, watch it below.

The guys recorded its fourth album "Raven Kings" in Creahate Studios in mid-2014. 

Guitarist Marcus Sunesson commented on the video: “The ground crumbles, the skies darken and the hills shake as the last music on earth is heard from a mountain top. Four dark figures, still standing. Sounds that paint a fitting masterpiece to accompany the elemental chaos. There is no Sanctuary from the apocalypse, no Salvation. And yet, that is precisely what they offer. Speaking not of good or evil, instead they offer stark reality”.

Marcus Sunesson (THE CROWN) - Guitar
Niclas Engelin (IN FLAMES, DRÖMRIKET, PASSENGER, GARDENIAN) - Guitar
Mikael Sehlin (DEGRADEAD) - Vocals

This is a tune that comes from 2007 that I like :D

Amon Amarth - Twilight Of The Thunder God

Amon Amarth is a Swedish death metal band formed 1992 in Tumba. The band's debut album, Sorrow Throughout the Nine Worlds was released in 1996. The band's songs are often about Vikings and Norse mythology, but they classifie themselves not as a viking metal band. The latest and eighth studio album "Surtur Rising” was released on March 29, 2011.

Amon Amarth is on tour right now made ​​a stop at Tyrol in Stockholm on Saturday. Together as support acts are The Black Dahlia Murder and Evocation.

Amon Amarth is a band that I've seen a couple of times live, as it was at Arenan together with Entombed. The stage is clearly powerful, they have 19 stage raisers on the tour, all to build ramps and a giant drum spot. The orange and enormous backdrop shows that this will be an epic night, see photos.

This evening was a bit like the last time, but this was a little tighter and more stage presence. The light show was much better than last time, well done Chris. Amon Amarth is known to always deliver, and the concert itself lives up to expectations. Not so much tracks from the new album but more of a good, mixed bag of candy, see setlist below.

In addition, it was really fun to run into Steve Drennan (Bass Player in Engel) who once again took on the mantle as backline tech. Steve, who always is pleasant and always have something fun to tell.

Pictures from the gig:

Todays tune ”Twilight Of The Thunder God” (feat. Roope Latvala) is the title track taken from the seventh studio album "Twilight of the Thunder God” was released in September 2008. The album features several guest appearances featuring Entombed vocalist Lars Göran Petrov on "Guardians of Asgaard", Children of Bodom and Stone guitarist Roope Latvala who contributes a solo on the track "Twilight of the Thunder God", and Finnish cello metal band Apocalyptica as a guest appearance on "Live for the Kill”. The album artwork was done by Tom Thiel
