Amon Amarth

Amon Amarth ( / ə ˈ m ɒ n ə ˈ m ɑːr θ / ) are a Swedish melodic death metal band from Tumba , formed in 1992. The band takes their name from the Sindarin name of Mount Doom , a volcano in J. R. R. Tolkien 's Middle-earth . Their lyrics mostly revolve around Viking mythology and history, and so they are sometimes labelled " Viking metal ", though they are musically melodic death metal, a term the band prefers. Amon Amarth is composed of lead guitarist Olavi Mikkonen, vocalist Johan Hegg, bassist Ted Lundström, rhythm guitarist Johan Söderberg, and drummer Jocke Wallgren.
