Amon Amarth, despite what you might believe, did not mysteriously appear from a viking grave one day. Instead, the band discusses recruiting bonding with founding vocalist Johan Hegg because they heard him growling along to Europe's "The Final Countdown" one day at a metal bar. So maybe the viking grave thing came later, but really, you have a really cheesy 80s hit to thank for Amon Amarth.
Amon Amarth will release their documentary and live album The Pursuit of Vikings: 25 Years in the Eye of the Storm on November 16.
