This news continues to elevate Amon Amarth in the spotlight, as their ninth studio album, Deceiver Of The Gods, was released this summer and notched spot on the Billboard Top 20.
Of course, for the film, Hegg will be working without the band he’s been a part of since 1992, but that doesn’t seem to deter his excitement for it. Said Hegg:
The mythology behind our Viking heritage is engrained in everything we do and it is awesome to have the opportunity to be part of ‘Northmen – A Viking Saga’. This is going to be one epic adventure and I cannot wait to be on set with my co-stars and this fantastic filmmaking team!
Stepping away from the film production, Hegg will rejoin Amon Amarth as they roll out their 2014 tour in January, beginning in Las Vegas.
