The vikings are back for more! Today, Amon Amarth services us with a new track and the first part of their new album documentary.
First off, let's discuss the new track. It's called "Shape Shifter" and it has premiered on Stereogum, and it's a complete ripper. I love the lead riff, Johan's vocals sound clearer than ever and come on, it's fucking Amon Amarth, how could it not be good? Here is the track:
Yes, yes, yes! This rocks! No, no, no…don't stop a rockin!
Secondly, the first part of their three-part documentary, Forging Mjölnir, which, as their label puts it “celebrates the imminent release of the band’s ninth studio offering, Deceiver of the Gods,” is now streaming right here. You have to log in with your Facebook to watch it, but the documentary provides an interesting perspective on the recording process. Watch it here.
Amon Amarth's Deceiver Of The Gods comes out June 25th.
