Swedish melodic Viking death metal masters Amon Amarth has dropped their new ruthless melodic single "Get In The Ring" and announced their upcoming debut album entitled "The Great Heathen Army" via Metal Blade Records.
The band posted. "Vikings, we call upon thee once again! our twelfth studio album, 'The Great Heathen Army' arrives worldwide August 5th via Metal Blade Records, featuring our new single, "Get In The Ring."
Amon Amarth's killer song "Get In The Ring," was written for AEW professional wrestler Erick Redbeard.
"I really like 'Get In The Ring' which was written for our friend Erick Redbeard the pro wrestler as an "entrance" song for him." Guitarist Olavi Mikkonen said. "The lyrics are obviously written to fit both Viking and wrestling themes, and you can also see Erick as the lead character in the new video for the song."
He added. "We shot the video in Wroclaw, Poland with our friends Grupa 13 and they helped us create this dark and epic Mad Max meets Viking underground super brutal fight club for the video clip."
