Amon Amarth () 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.
The band has released 13 studio albums, one compilation album, one EP, one video album, and ten music videos. Their debut album, Once Sent from the Golden Hall, was released in 1998. Five more studio releases followed. The band had its breakthrough with the 2008 album Twilight of the Thunder God, which debuted at No. 10 on the Swedish album charts and No. 50 on the US Billboard 200. Six more albums, Surtur Rising, Deceiver of the Gods, Jomsviking, Berserker, The Great Heathen Army, and The All-Father Awakens, followed in 2011, 2013, 2016, 2019, 2022, and 2026 respectively.
