Kaaos TV conducted an interview with bassist Ted Lundström and guitarist Olavi Mikkonen of Swedish death metallers AMON AMARTH when the band performed at the Nummirock festival, which was held June 20-22 in Nummijärvi, Kauhajoki, Finland. You can now watch the chat below.

AMON AMARTH‘s ninth studio album, “Deceiver Of The Gods”, will be released in North America via Metal Blade Records on June 25, in Europe on June 24 and Japan on June 26.

Recorded at Backstage Studios in Derbyshire, United Kingdom, and produced, mixed and mastered by Andy Sneap (OPETH, MEGADETH, EXODUS, ARCH ENEMY, KILLSWITCH ENGAGE), the follow-up to the band’s critically acclaimed 2011 “Surtur Rising” full-length delivers ten fiery battle hymns made of buzzsaw riffs and epic harmonies all driven by vocalist Johan Hegg‘s commanding Viking roar and absorbing accounts of Norse crusades and treachery.

“Deceiver Of The Gods” comes adorned with another outstanding Tom Thiel-created cover portraying a mythical battle between the Norse Gods Loki and Thor. As an added bonus, Messiah Marcolin (CANDLEMASS) makes an appearance as guest vocalist on eighth track, “Hel”.

“Deceiver Of The Gods” will be released in North America via Metal Blade Records on June 25, in Europe June 24 and Japan on June 26.

Following a run of European festival dates, AMON AMARTH will open the main stage of this year’s edition of the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival, set to commence June 29 in San Bernardino.

Swedish death metal band AMON AMARTH was founded in 1992. The band lineup is: vocalist Johan Hegg, guitarists Olavi Mikkonen and Johan Söderberg, bassist Ted Lundström and drummer Fredrik Andersson. AMON AMARTH has released eight studio albums, the latest one “Surtur Rising” came out on March 25, 2011, via Metal Blade Records. In May and the fall, AMON AMARTH will hit the road, with headlining tour. Johan Hegg commented: “Hopefully we can take some new steps in our career and reach another level as a band. We want to play places we haven’t played yet and reach a wider audience without sacrificing what it is we do best. We’ve always mainly made music for ourselves so as long as we like it, it’s ok. Of course it’s better if other people like it too.”
