It's been two years almost to the day since Amon Amarth released their 2016 album Jomsviking, and according to bassist Ted Lundström, the band is about halfway through writing the new album. Lundström tells Heavy that Amon Amarth is trying to get back into the studio as soon as possible to begin the recording process.
When asked what it'll sound like, he jokes that Amon Amarth is pretty much doomed to sound like Amon Amarth forever.
"We're always trying to take it to the next step, but in the end, even when we [say], 'We're gonna do something really different,' it will still end up sounding like Amon Amarth anyways. We're doomed — we're always gonna sound like this."
Amon Amarth's new album will be their first with new drummer Jocke Wallgren (ex-October Tide). Amon Amarth recruited drummer Tobias Gustafsson (Cut Up, ex-Vomitory) as a studio member to record Jomsviking after the departure of longtime drummer Fredrik Andersson in 2015.
