Fittingly titled Forging Mjölnir, the short film will appear as a three-part series with each official segment slated to premiere via the band's microsite at http://deceiver.amonamarth.com The Forging Mjölnir documentary comes in anticipation of AMON AMARTH's ninth studio offering, Deceiver of the Gods. Recorded at Backstage Studios in Derbyshire, UK, 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." View the black and white Forging Mjölnir trailer where the band discusses their earliest musical influences, as well as a stream of opening title track and first single, "Deceiver of the Gods" and special preorder info at this location: http://www.metalblade.com/amonamarth.

| ____________________________________ [May 20,2013 2:43pm - arilliusbm ""] Was it? You're probably right. I remember that tour originally being canceled because of 9/11,right? Then they rescheduled it in early 2002. I just miss the Amon Amarth tremelo picking days. |

| ______________________________________ [May 20,2013 3:25pm - the_reverend ""] that was a good show. I remember being up there for revenge and then looking around me and realizing that there were a lot of people with swastikas on their clothing, but only for revenge. |

| _______________________________________ [May 20,2013 3:34pm - AndrewBastard ""] I remember that happening but I dont think Amon Amarth were on that show? |
| ____________________________________ [May 20,2013 3:41pm - arilliusbm ""] Yea, Marduk couldn't get papers I think. It was Jan 2002. Amon Amarth ended up canceling the rest of the tour because they weren't making money without Marduk. Now da nillas all be in Skyrim and shit. |

Marduk was supposed to play that show but instead i had to sit through shitty Diabolic. And Diabolic fucking sucked!!! Sounded like generic DM played through a distant, blown-out boom-box, until the solos came in, 10x louder than the rest of the band, and then back to the shitty death metal yu could barely hear |
| _______________________________________ [May 21,2013 8:20am - AndrewBastard ""] I remember I lived ON campus at Rhode Island College when that Marduk show was cancelled and didnt bother going....glad I went to the Met Cafe show though because I love AA's first 2 albums and thats pretty much all the played at the time. and REVENGE killed it live even though I'm not a fan of them on CD. |
