Amon Amarth Reveal New Album Details, New Song Available

Blog author:  Alex Stojanovic

Why not start your morning with some awesome news and some awesome new music?  Because Amon Amarth have revealed the details for their much-anticipated new studio album.  The album will be titled The Berserker, and it will be released on May 3 via Metal Blade Records. 

The album is the follow up to 2016's very well-received Jomsviking, and it was recorded in Los Angeles with producer Jay Ruston (Anthrax, Steel Panther, Uriah Heep and Stone Sour).  The cover art and full track listing can be seen below.

If that's not enough, there's also a taste of the record available.  The first single "Raven's Flight" is available for streaming down below.  It's straight-ahead Amon Amarth as you'd expect with Johan Hegg's signature gutterals, and some phenomenal guitar work from Olavi Mikkonen and Johan Soderberg.  My favourite part of the song would have to be the guitar harmonies in the middle and towards the end.  Crank it!
