With their last record being the thunderous Deceiver Of The Gods, released in 2012 the band have been touring all over the world extensively since it was released. After having just brushed past our shores with what will probably be the last of their run off the back of the previous album. We can now confirm that the band will be releasing material, either this year but more likely earlier in the new year.

Having just caught up with Amon Amarth bassist Ted Lundstrom recently

“Yeah, we just started very recently. We have some ideas for songs and lyrics, but we haven’t really sat down to put it together yet. But after this tour, that will be our main focus, just to work on the album 24/7. So hopefully we can record it after the summer. That’s the plan. But we don’t have any finished songs yet … I would hope that we can release it early next year. But it depends on so many factors: record label and release schedule and touring and studio time and all that. But hopefully early next year [we can get it out]. That would be our plan.“

although it would be fantastic news for Amon Amarth to have a brand new album out this year, it seems like that might be a little too much. Who knows, the winds might change, either way whatever happens we will keep you in the loop!
