Amon Amarth - The Allfather Awakens - 2CD

With “The Allfather Awakens”, Amon Amarth have created a definitive ten-track masterpiece that further cements the band’s legacy – defined by spectacular, memorable riffs and unwavering sonic power. The opening track of “The Allfather Awakens”, the epic tale “Gjallarhorn”, is followed by the heroic battle story “Eight Legs of Thunder”, while “Upphaf”, a translated stanza from the prophetic poem “Völuspá”, marks the band’s first-ever acoustic track.

The legendary Swedish melodic death metallers took a new approach to songwriting for “The Allfather Awakens” – the band’s 13th album since 1998’s “Once Sent from the Golden Hall”. “The Allfather Awakens” was created during two recording sessions several months apart at producer Jacob Hansen’s studio in Denmark. Amon Amarth began writing the songs while still on tour rather than waiting until the tour was over. The first session took place in spring 2025, with the final recordings completed in March 2026.

The ultimate fan edition: This exclusive version comes in a high-quality clamshell box with a lenticular cover and includes the regular album, the bonus CD “Live from Summer Breeze 2024”, a woven patch and four high-quality art prints – a true highlight for collectors and fans.
