This Day in Metal

29 MAR

2011

On March 29, 2011, AMON AMARTH released their eighth studio album "Surtur Rising" through Metal Blade Records — a triumphant Viking metal epic that cemented the Swedish melodic death metal quintet's status as one of the genre's most beloved and consistent acts. Named after the fire giant Surtur from Norse mythology who brings about Ragnarok, the album thundered with the band's signature combination of Johan Hegg's cavernous growls, galloping rhythms, and soaring melodic guitar harmonies. Tracks like "War of the Gods," "Destroyer of the Universe," and "Doom Over Dead Man" delivered crushing riff-driven anthems wrapped in mythological grandeur. "Surtur Rising" debuted at number thirty-four on the Billboard 200 — a career-high chart position — and reached the top ten in Sweden, Germany, and Austria. The album's supporting tour featured the band's most elaborate stage production yet, complete with a massive Viking ship.
