Swedish heavy metal icons, Amon Amarth, have launched their brand new music video, the title track to their 2013 album, “Deceiver of the Gods”, on Metal Blade Records. The video features clips from the upcoming film, Northmen – A Viking Saga, which stars Tom Hopper, Ryan Kwanten, Ken Duken, and features Johan Hegg as Valli. The film is scheduled for release this Autumn. It’s no surprise, given the level of talent and eye-catching visuals of the film that this will be the most remarkable Amon Amarth video to date. Watch the video now at bloody-disgusting.com HERE. For more information about Northmen – A Viking Saga, visit northmen-themovie.com and facebook.com/NorthmenMovie.

About Northmen – A Viking Saga:
In the 9th century a group of Vikings, commanded by captain Asbjörn, is approaching Britain, aiming to plunder the rich monasteries in the north of the island. But their ship gets caught in a storm and is smashed to pieces on the rocks off the coast of Scotland, the only part of Britain without any Viking settlements. When Inghean, daughter of the Scottish King Dunchaid, by chance falls into Viking hands, they see the opportunity for demanding a large ransom. King Dunchaid immediately sets his “wolfpack” – a group of mercenaries well known for their savagery – on them. The Northmen with their hostage now have to force their way through the rough highlands, where they meet the brave and mysterious Christian monk Conall. Having the wolfpack close on their heels, a desperate race against time begins. A battle over life and death…

Amon Amarth will be sailing to Tokyo, Japan for KNOTFEST 2014! The festival takes place on November 15th and November 16th, with Slipknot headlining both days. Amon Amarth will be performing on the 16th along with Korn, Trivium, In Flames, Five Finger Death Punch, and more. Tickets, the complete line up, and more information can be found at http://knotfestjapan.com.

The band will also be re-conquering North America beginning this month. This time around, they will be bringing fellow Swedes, Sabaton, along for the ride. Additionally, Skeletonwitch will once again be opening the show, except in New York where fans will be treated to the first ever, and exclusive North American performance by extreme metal super group Vallenfyre*. In February of this year, fans in Los Angeles were treated to an exclusive appearance of the Viking ship stage set up. New York fans will bear witness to the Viking ship spectacle at the Best Buy Theatre on October 18, which also happens to be one of two Decibel Magazine 10th Anniversary shows in NYC that evening! Tickets are available now – visit amonamarth.com/tour for details.

“Deceiver of the Gods,” was released in June of 2013. The album debuted at #19 on the Billboard Top 200 chart, making it the band’s highest-charting album to date. Fans can listen to music and watch the epic video for “Father of the Wolf” at http://www.metalblade.com/amonamarth.
