Amon Amarth

Summary: Deeply rooted in melodic death metal with lyrics centred around Viking history and Norse mythology , Amon Amarth (formerly known as Scum ) formed in 1992 in Tumba, Sweden, a southern suburb of Stockholm . They began writing material with lots of melodies, harmonies and lyrics about Vikings and the norse Pantheon . In summer 1993 they entered Lagret Studio to record the Thor Arise demo, which would later on appear on the bonus disc of the album Versus the World . The band continued rehearsing and writing stronger material and again entered the studio.
