Amon Amarth Unveil New Acoustic Single & Music Video “Upphaf”

Swedish Viking metal legends Amon Amarth have returned with a brand new single from their forthcoming thirteenth studio album. The track marks a new chapter in the band’s sonic explorations at sea, taking shape as an acoustic Norse epic. “Upphaf” is a bold departure from their well-known melodic death metal stylings but still fits comfortably within their extensive catalogue. The song, produced by Jacob Hansen, is accompanied by a Pavel Trebukhin-directed music video.

No album title, release date, track listing or cover art have been officially revealed as of publication time but fans can look forward to the record’s arrival later this year via Metal Blade. The album will follow The Great Heathen Army which was released back in 2022.

The band just finished up their co-headlining spring tour with fellow metallers Dethklok earlier this year. Amon Amarth also joined Pantera on their North American summer tour in 2025. The group will be hitting the road once again in the fall, kicking the trek off with a show at the O2 Apollo in Manchester, UK on October 9. They will also be stopping off in London, Paris, Stockholm, Helsinki, Budapest, Prague, Berlin, Milan, Zurich, Barcelona and more. The tour is set to come to an end on November 15 with a concert at Sala Tejo in Lisbon, Portugal.
