小簡介
Amon Amarth是一支深深根植于死亡金屬并有著堅定而強烈的維京神話信仰的樂隊。樂隊的名字取自英國文學家J.R.R Tolkien那本著名的幻想歷史小說《The Lord of the Rings》（指環(huán)王），Amon Amarth在小說中是指一個特定的地點，即The Mountain of Doom（厄運之山），Tiamat樂隊為他們的一首早期經典作品也取了同樣的名字。樂隊的風格為比較兇狠的旋律黑死金屬，雙吉他，沒有鍵盤。他們的歌曲整體上感覺比較壓抑，但又不失兇狠，有點象At the Gates與Dark Tranqullity的結合。
Swedish death metal band Amon Amarth originally formed in 1988 under the name Scum; by the time the new moniker was adopted four years later, the line-up consisted of vocalist Johan Hegg, guitarists Olli Mikkonen and Anders Hansson, bassist Ted Lundstrom and drummer Niko Kaukinen. In 1993, the quintet recorded their first demo Thor Arise, which went unreleased due to sound problems; a second demo, Arrival of the Fimbul Winter, followed in 1994, quickly selling out all 1000 copies. Signing to the Singapore-based Pulverised label, Amon Amarth issued the EP Sorrow Throughout the Nine World in mid-1996; soon after Kaukinen exited, and was replaced by drummer Martin Lopez for 1998's full-length Once Sent from the Golden Hall. When both Hansson and Lopez defected from the line-up, the remaining members of Amon Amarth tapped new guitarist Johan Söderberg and drummer Fredrik Andersson for 1999's The Avenger. Crusher followed three years later.
