โš”๏ธ AMON AMARTH Summon a Continental Onslaught with โ€œTHE ALLFATHER AWAKENSโ€ 2026 UK + EU Headline Tour ๐Ÿ’€

Swedenโ€™s unstoppable Viking metal warlords Amon Amarth are returning in 2026 with a colossal UK + EU headline siegeโ€”one built on fire, steel, and the promise of an entirely new era of brutality.

The Allfather Awakens Tour brings an all-Swedish lineup of devastation, with Orbit Culture and Soilwork joining the charge as the longships push ashore throughout October and November 2026.

A New Age of War Is Coming โš”๏ธ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Fresh from conquering festival seas, supporting Slayer across the UK, and leveling the U.S. alongside Pantera, Amon Amarth now prepare to unveil an all-new theatrical stage productionโ€”their most ambitious vision yet.

The band will also deliver an extended headline set, forging the next chapter of Viking metal mythology. The raid begins October 9th in Manchester before tearing across London, Wolverhampton, and then the entire EU with no mercy left behind.

This is not myth. This is not illusion. This is modern metalโ€™s most dominant storytellers calling their armies to war.

To mark the turning of the tide, Amon Amarth recently fired off their newest single, โ€œWe Rule The Waves,โ€ a triumphant offering to the gods. The songโ€™s video stands as a war banner announcing whatโ€™s next:

A full new album arrives late 2026.

Amon Amarth Unleashes New Music Video and Digital Single ‘Heidrun’, and Announces Tour: Viking Metal Dominance Continues

Swedish viking metal powerhouse, AMON AMARTH, continues its triumphant reign with the release of a captivating music video for their epic Valhalla anthem “Heidrun,” featured on their chart-topping album “The Great Heathen Army.” Additionally, AMON AMARTH presents an exclusive 4-track digital single of “Heidrun,” which includes a newly remixed version of the single, two exhilarating live bonus tracks, and a unique “goat remix” featuring actual goat vocals. Immerse yourself in the immersive music video for “Heidrun”

Watch Here



Explore the digital single on your preferred streaming platform.

Frontman Johan Hegg casts light on the mythological significance of “Heidrun”:

“Heidrun is an interesting mythological character, it’s a goat that stands on the roof of Valhalla eating the leaf of the big tree Lรคrad. The milk that she gives is the honey/mead that the warriors in Valhalla drink each night. The lyrics themselves are both about Vikings traveling the world but also metaphorically what it is to be a touring musician.”

“Heidrun” Digital Single Track List:

  1. Heidrun (2023 Remix)
  2. Heidrun (Live at Graspop, 2023)
  3. Put Your Back into the Oar (Live at Hellfest, 2023)
  4. Heidrun (Goat Remix)

Continuing their relentless onslaught, AMON AMARTH is currently blazing across the US alongside Ghost in the ‘Re-Imperatour USA 2023’ tour, comprising 25 monumental dates.
