AMON AMARTH Premiere ‘Fafner’s Gold’ Music Video
October 6th, 2020

Stockholm, Sweden-based melodic death metal group Amon Amarth have released a music video for the track ‘Fafner’s Gold’. Directed by Jörg Maas and featuring footage filmed at the König Pilsner Arena in Oberhausen, Germany during last year’s Berserker European headline tour, the clip can be viewed below.

Regarding the video, the band stated: “Has anyone ever wondered what it’s like to see a full power Amon Amarth live arena show in Europe? We distilled our Berserker European Tour show and bring it to you via video of ‘Fafner’s Gold’. It has it all: fire, more fire, fighting Vikings, a flying Viking Helmet riser, giant stone Guardians of Asgaard, an epic sea serpent and… Fafner’s Gold. Please enjoy, stay safe out there and Raise Your Horns!”

Amon Amarth issued 11th full-length studio album Berserker on May 3rd, 2019 in North America through Metal Blade Records. Sony Music scheduled international release for the same day.

Vocalist Johan Hegg commented: “For me, this is Amon Amarth 2.0. I think what we’ve done here is give ourselves the space to explore other parts of our musicality and who we are as a band. If you’re content with where you’re at, what’s the point of continuing?

“We always want to come up with new ideas and find new ways of doing things and to create bigger and better shows and really try to improve every aspect of what the band is. We want to try to keep growing and to do this for as long as we have the possibility to do so, because this is the best fucking job in the world.”
