Amon Amarth - Finish Writing New Album
Does Amon Amarth ever stop to rest? They are not known to do that. Now the melodic death metallers have finished writing the follow-up to 2011's Surtur Rising. The next step is to record the new yet untitled album. We'll see if the spark to make great music is still there.
The band issued the following update: "We want to thank everyone that has supported and helped us in 2012. 2013 will be another intense year for Amon Amarth, and looks like it will be slightly unpredictable and mischievous...
We've just finished writing all the songs for the next full-length album, and we're ready to enter the studio to start recording them in the new year. Wishing everyone a fun and successful 2013! Cheers /Amon Amarth."

Hopefully they can retain their successful sound but introduce some interesting and new elements to that formula.

Written by Guest on 01.01.2013 at 13:08 Don't agree, Sutur Rising is awesome. Maybe you don't like the way the band has evolved, matter of taste then. Yet I would like them to deliver something fresh too, but what you they add this time ? Female voice ? Anyway let's wait and see, so far I've never been disappointed by any Amon Amarth album.

Written by Marcel Hubregtse on 01.01.2013 at 15:34 I most certainly agree their last two albums were crap beyond belief, but I'll always stand by their early 2000s work. "Bastards Of A Lying Breed" & "Bleed For Ancient Gods" still have a sound I haven't found elsewhere. The band is best when they are more abrasive, with a bold, warm production.

I don't see them topping TOTTG, but I look forward to the release... and a subsequent tour.

Written by Mad Mike on 01.01.2013 at 19:12 Lol. wow. That album was a total Borefest  Surtur was average at best. I own everything from Amon Amarth, i know what they are capable of doing. I would like to hear something not too far outside the box but at the same time something on a new level. With Odin on Our Side was the last album that i cared for before they started to churn out MTV Metal for TWEENS

Written by Opethian on 01.01.2013 at 22:24 MTV metal for tweens? Last I checked, MTV doesn't play music at all, and tweens listen to one direction and justin bieber. Your argument is invalid. If you were implying that you think they "sold out", I hate to break it to you, but death metal (especially swedish death metal) gets no mainstream attention at all, no matter how "commercial" the music may sound. Get over yourself.

Written by Mad Mike on 01.01.2013 at 22:53 The only thing that is valid about this is the fact that i stopped holding my breath for anything this band has to offer, especially after 'With Odin on Our Side'

Nice! Surter was a good album but agree that they need something fresh to make this one work, for some reason I got a bad feeling about this... hopefully Amon proves me wrong

Really don't see what's wrong with their latest albums : been following the band ever since "Once Sent From the Golden Hall" and I like all their albums... And I don't know any other band sounding like Amon Amarth, being into Viking stuff more than the usual satanist things (but maybe here I'm being ignorant of other bands sounding like Amon Amarth). I'm sure their next album will be good (unlike Cradle lastest offer which just found me not willing to care about that band anymore).

Written by s_t_s on 02.01.2013 at 15:19 The problem with this band is that they have been too comfortable with their sound and quite honestly they are also becoming too predictable. I have absolutely no high hopes for this release. Lets hope that they can return to form and put out something memorable I still have my doubts

The previous two albums were practically the same. I hope they try something new this time, while maintaining their awesome sound.
