Amon Amarth is back with a brand new EP called Heidrun and it's pretty damn entertaining. Heidrun features a newly remixed version of its title track alongside live songs and a remix with a literal goat on vocals. No word on if the goat will join Amon Amarth on any future tours, but we haven't seen it on their trek with Ghost yet.
"Heidrun is an interesting mythological character, it's a goat that stands on the roof of Valhalla eating the leaf of the big tree Lärad," said vocalist Johan Hegg. "The milk that she gives is the honey/mead that the warriors in Valhalla drink each night. The lyrics themselves are both about Vikings travelling the world but also metaphorically what it is to be a touring musician."
