Surtur Rising has been released on March 25/28, 2011 via Metal Blade Records in Europe.
Surtur Rising is AMON AMARTH's eighth studio offering in a winding discography that's helped shape the very face of epic, Viking-inspired death metal. Named in tribute to Surtur, leader of the fire giants of Muspelheim ("flame land") and the oldest being in the nine worlds of Norse mythology, the record was recorded, mixed and mastered at Fascination Street Studios Örebro, Sweden with Jens Bogren and bears the striking cover art by Tom Thiel.
AMON AMARTH embark on a European headlining tour in May with support coming from THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER and EVOCATION.
