 Amon Amarth have revealed that they have recorded the video for the title track from the bands upcoming album 'Twilight Of The Thunder God'.
The video was recorded in Poland with Group 13 and director Dariusz Szermanowicz with filming taking place on the old Viking site of Jomsborg, home of the Jomsvikings in Wolin, Poland.
The band commented "It seemed that the Thunder God was on our side when shooting the video
because a hurricane/storm passed through the area during the day,
creating the chaotic and violent atmosphere we were hoping for. It was
the toughest conditions we ever recorded a video in, blood and sweat,
quite literally both, were part of the making. But we don't mind
getting our hands dirty and metal was never supposed to be "nice". In
fact we couldn't have wished for a more fitting video shoot for this
song, being the Ragnarök and all!
"We want to thank Igor for making this possible, Blodhvitnir
Meldric and Sana, the Group 13 crew for their professional work and of
course the Jomsvikings for being made of steel!"
Photos from the 'Twilight Of The Thunder God' video shoot can be found here.
The album is scheduled for release on September 22nd in Europe and September 30th in North America.
"Twilight of the Thunder God" features several high-profile guest
appearances including Entombed singer L.G. Petrov (on 'Guardians of
Asgaard'), Children of Bodom guitarist Roope Latvala (who shreds a
fierce solo on the track 'Twilight of the Thunder God') and Finnish
cello metal band Apocalyptica (a guest appearance on 'Live For The
Kill').
In Europe "Twilight of the Thunder God" will be released as a limited
first edition 3-disc-set including a bonus CD and a bonus DVD. This
deluxe collector's edition comes in highly valuable packaging featuring
special layout and the AMON AMARTH comic which is currently being
