Amon Amarth is a melodic death metal band from Tumba, Sweden, founded in 1992. It takes its name from the Sindarin name of Mount Doom, a volcano in J. R. R. Tolkien?s Middle-earth.
Their new album "Deceiver of the Gods" was announced and the cover revealed through reddit's /r/metal - a first in metal history! A release date of June 24th has been confirmed through magazine Rock Hard!
On the cover: "The cover depicts the last battle between the Gods and Loki who arrives at Vigridr field accompanied by the army of the dead during Ragnarok, the end of the world. We hope you enjoy it." - Amon Amarth
Oh man, the release is on my birthday :)

Deceiver of the Gods is a really good song. Hope this album is going to be better than Twilight of the Thunder God and Surtur Rising.
If “Deceiver of the Gods” is the quality we can expect from the rest of the album we’re in for a treat =)
This is likely my most anticipated right now! Other than Immolation and COB.
Song was good but I was hoping they would take more chances with their sound. Amon Amarth is becoming very repetitive with the same album every time. But it’s hard to complain when each one is consistently awesome.
The most anticipated album of 2013 for me! Pre-ordered straight after hearing the title track!
Sounds just like Amon Amarth; more kickass material, but nothing new. I’ll take it ;)
Extremely excited for this!
https://soundcloud.com/stereogum/amon-amarth-shape-shifter another track from the album,sounds FUCKING great!
can’t wait, should be fantastic!
Heard this is worth the wait but it is getting closer. I can hardly wait. I am so excited!
Also on Realm of Metal, fast download speed!
I can’t get enough of “Coming of the Tide,” because that song has some really amazing and addicting riffs and Johan’s vocals carry it to a new level. Thor and Loki would both be proud of the album. Hurrah.
Feels good to live in Sweden right now!
The album was sent to me the 18th of june, received it the next day :)
Hell, I have it playing right now! m/
I have never heard of this band before but they had the top album on the site so I decided to check it out…Are they from Sweden but don’t sing in Swedish?
