Sweden’s Viking metal titans AMON AMARTH are pleased to release their new single, “We Rule The Waves,” and its accompanying video.
With “We Rule The Waves,” AMON AMARTH returns with its first new song in years and unleashes a war cry worthy of the gods – an unstoppable surge of galloping riffs, wave splitting melodies, and Viking fury. Produced with the help of Grammy-nominated producer and mix engineer Jacob Hansen (Volbeat, Arch Enemy, The Black Dahlia Murder, Katatonia), this is more than a song – it’s a sonic raid, carved from salt and steel, echoing across oceans. Modern metal doesn’t get more epic, or more essential, than this.
The video for “We Rule The Waves,” shot in Riga, Latvia, continues the band’s collaboration with Pavel Trebukhin of Tre Film, who directed the band’s “The Great Heathen Army,” “Heidrun,” and “Saxons & Vikings” videos.
The band comments, “‘We Rule The Waves’ is our tribute to the spirit of freedom, brotherhood, and the will to conquer – not just lands, but your own limitations. It’s about standing tall with your clan, facing the storm head-on, and carving your mark into the world like a Viking longship through blackened seas.”
Earlier this week, AMON AMARTH kicked off their US live takeover with Pantera. Accurately dubbed The Heaviest Tour Of The Summer, the US amphitheater tour commenced on July 15th in Burgettstown, Pennsylvania and will wind its way through over two dozen cities, coming to a close on September 13th in West Palm Beach, Florida. Additional support is being provided by Snafu, Shock Narcotic, King Parrot, and Flesh Hoarder on select dates. Not to be missed, AMON AMARTH is armed with as much of their infamous theater production as the stage can handle.

From pole to pole and sea to sea, AMON AMARTH are the undisputed kings of Viking heavy metal. Formed in Tumba, Sweden, in 1992, they have forged an extraordinary legacy over three decades of thunderous, anthemic metal, all rich in the magical imagery of Viking history, folklore, and culture.
From their underground smash debut Once Sent From The Golden Hall (1998) onwards, AMON AMARTH have been an unstoppable creative force. With a unique and unmistakable sound that combines the best of several epic strains of metal, the quintet have become renowned for their ageless anthems and explosive, theatrical live shows. With albums like 2008’s widely acclaimed Twilight Of The Thunder God and 2016’s conceptual triumph Jomsviking, the Swedes have been consistent standard bearers for heavy metal as a life-affirming and communal experience, armed with a seemingly endless stream of instant classic songs.
Now reaping the rewards of all those years of hard work, AMON AMARTH are now regarded as one of the metal world’s most vital and imperious live acts. From headlining festivals across Europe to claiming a place on Slayer‘s final tour of the US in 2019, they have honored the adventurous ethos of their Viking forebears by taking their music anywhere and everywhere.
One of the best-loved metal bands in the world, AMON AMARTH are firmly dedicated to aiming high when they hit the studio. Recorded with esteemed studio guru Andy Sneap at the controls, their most recent full-length, The Great Heathen Army, represents another bold leap forward for the band, as their trademark sound undergoes yet another skillful, evolutionary overhaul, both lyrically and musically. From the noisily rabble-rousing “Find A Way Or Make One” and the pummelling, pugilistic “Get In The Ring,” to the evocative fury of “Saxons & Vikings” and the cinematic squall of the title track, The Great Heathen Army encapsulates the essence of this legendary band, while still allowing acres of space for new ideas.
