FROM AMON AMARTH and EARSPLIT PR:
Kings of Swedish death metal AMON AMARTH have just announced the title of the their forthcoming album as Surtur Rising. Due out in the spring of 2011, Surtur Rising marks the group’s eighth full-length studio release and undoubtedly one of 2011’s most anticipated albums by fans and critics alike. Surtur Rising is the follow-up to the highly acclaimed 2008 release, Twilight Of The Thunder God, which landed the #7 spot in Revolver Magazine’s Top 20 Albums of 2008 and what MetalSucks called "[a] bottomless gauntlet of riffs that the band endlessly takes gargantuan swigs from, sounding both lush and emotive as well as skull crushingly heavy… every goddamn one is a chest-beating anthem." Outburn declared how Twilight Of The Thunder God “will render you nothing short of ecstatic" and Time Out New York noted that "AMON AMARTH plays some of the most unabashedly epic metal you’re likely to find these days." Be sure to stay tuned to MetalBlade.com for more details on Surtur Rising.
