Like so many songwriters, Amon Amarth vocalist Johan Hegg uses his personal experiences as the inspiration for his songs. However, Hegg takes those experiences and shapes them into epic Viking tales of battle, sailing the harsh seas, conquering new land and braving bitter arctic elements. If you think that sounds cool, you're absolutely correct. On "Valhall Awaits Me," Hegg roars, "Sword in my hand/Axe on my side/Bear skin on my back/Wolf jaw on my head/Valhall awaits me when I'm dead." For six records now, Amon Amarth have slowly won over fans around the world with their brand of Viking-infused Nordic black metal. Join them now or face the unforgiving cold steel of their swords as they torch, plunder and rape your village.
