Formed in Tumba, Sweden, in 1992, AMON AMARTH has forged an extraordinary legacy over three decades of thunderous, anthemic metal, all rich in the magical imagery of Viking history, folklore and culture. 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.
AMON AMARTH’s lead vocalist, Johan Hegg, had this to say of the new video; ”Recording this song with the legends from SAXON was amazing. It was such an honor to have them on this track, and to shoot a video with them was so much fun. I think the video came out great, really epic. It captures the essence of the song perfectly and the fight scenes are awesome!” hBiff Byford of SAXON added; “Doing the ‘Saxons and Vikings’ video was good fun, the fight scenes were epic and the song is cool.”
Fans can now watch the brand new music video for the song “Saxons and Vikings” off AMON AMARTH’s current album The Great Heathen Army
The video features British heavy metal band SAXON’s Biff Byford, who provides vocals for the song, along with his bandmates Paul Quinn and Doug Scarratt facing off against AMON AMARTH’s very own Vikings Olavi Mikkonen, Ted Lundstroem, Johan Soederberg, Johan Hegg , and Jocke Wallgren. Who will win and who will die?
