On 'The Allfather Awakens', Amon Amarth created a definitive 10-song masterwork that further cements the legacy of the lineup’s spectacularly memorable riffs and unflinching aural power. The opening track of 'The Allfather Awakens', the epic tale of “Gjallarhorn,” is followed by the heroic battlefield tale “Eight Legs of Thunder,” while “Upphaf,” a translated stanza from the prophetic poem Völuspá, marks the band’s first-ever acoustic offering.
The iconic Swedish melodic death metallers took a new songwriting approach for 'The Allfather Awakens', the band’s 13th album since 1998’s Once Sent from the Golden Hall. 'The Allfather Awakens' came to life across two recording sessions, months apart, at producer Jacob Hansen’s studio in Denmark. Amon Amarth began writing songs while touring, rather than waiting until they were off the road. The first session was Spring 2025; the final recording was completed in March 2026.
