Amon Amarth recently released a new music video for the song “Saxons and Vikings” off current album The Great Heathen Army. The video features British Heavy Metal band Saxon’s Biff Byford, who provides vocals for the song, along with his bandmates Paul Quinn and Doug Scarratt facing off against Amon Amarth’s very own Vikings Olavi Mikkonen, Ted Lundstroem, Johan Soederberg, Johan Hegg, and Jocke Wallgren.
Amon Amarth’s lead vocalist, Johan Hegg, had this to say about the new video:
Recording this song with the legends from SAXON was amazing. It was such an honor to have them on this track, and to shoot a video with them was so much fun. I think the video came out great, really epic. It captures the essence of the song perfectly and the fight scenes are awesome!
In other recent news, Amon Amarth are set to return to North America in 2024 following their summer run with Ghost. The Spring Metal Crushes All Tour is set to commence on April 21st and run through May 25th, 2024.
