Official press release:

Swedish metal powerhouse Amon Amarth has completed work on its long-awaited new studio album. The full-length release, titled Twilight of the Thunder God, will see a September 30 North American release date via Metal Blade Records.

Twilight of the Thunder God was recorded at Fascination Street Studio in Örebro, Sweden. The album will feature ten ravaging tracks of Amon Amarth's menacing battle metal replete with swarming riffs and searing percussion that provides a monolithic backdrop for vocalist Johan Hegg's wracked howls and lyrics rife with Nordic mythology. Known for seamlessly combining the key attributes of death, black and power metal to create "fantasy-fueled sonic mayhem," Amon Amarth (Elven-speak for "mountain of doom" in Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings) has eclipsed its previous efforts with Twilight of the Thunder God, creating an album that places the band amongst metal's elite.

Twilight of the Thunder God also features several high-profile guest appearances including Entombed singer L.G. Petrov (on ‘Guardians of Asgaard'), Children of Bodom guitarist Roope Latvala (who shreds a fierce solo on the track 'Twilight of the Thunder God') and Finnish cello metal band Apocalyptica (a guest appearance on ‘Live For The Kill').

The final track listing for Twilight of the Thunder God is as follows:

01. Twilight of the Thunder God
02. Free Will Sacrifice
03. Guardians of Asgaard
04. Where is Your God?
05. Varyags of Miklagaard
