Amon Amarth have returned with another single from their upcoming 13th album.
The battle-ready Eight Legs Of Thunder is driven by a galloping riff and explores Norse mythology, inspired by Sleipnir, Odin's legendary eight-legged steed. Head below for the the video, which puts a gritty American Western spin on the story. Director Dariusz Szermanowicz explained:
"With 'Eight Legs Of Thunder', together with the band, we wanted to break the traditional metal music video mold once again. We fused the raw, dusty vibe of a modern western with the epic, dark mythology of Odin’s eight-legged steed. It’s a high-octane, cinematic ride packed with cowboy tension, raw action, and a touch of dark humor. We didn’t just want to make a music video - we wanted to deliver a visual knockout."
The track follows the Swedish Norse-themed metallers' earlier singles Gjallarhorn, Uphaff and We Rule The Waves as the final preview of 'The Allfather Awakens', due out on October 2 via Metal Blade Records.
The band will support the album with The Allfather Awakens Tour across Europe and the UK this autumn, featuring support from Swedish bands Orbit Culture and Soilwork. Tickets are on sale now.
