AMON AMARTH recently announced the addition of Jocke Wallgren as the band’s new permanent drummer. Jocke has been sitting behind the kit for all shows on the group’s current “Jomsviking” world tour.
AMON AMARTH‘s tenth studio album, “Jomsviking“, debuted at No. 19 on The Billboard 200, having shifted 21,000 equivalent album units in the week ending March 31.
“Jomsviking” was released on March 25 via Metal Blade in North America and Sony Music internationally.
The first concept record in AMON AMARTH‘s storied career tells a tragic tale of love and revenge, backed by the Swedes’ trademark melodic, anthemic metal, which was produced and mixed once again by Andy Sneap (MEGADETH, TESTAMENT, ACCEPT).
The epic original story is set in the world of the Jomsvikings, the legendary order of mercenary Vikings.
