Swedish Viking metal giants AMON AMARTH have unveiled the official lyric video for their latest single, “We Rule the Waves.” Watch it below.
With “We Rule The Waves,” AMON AMARTH returns with its first new song in years and unleashes a war cry worthy of the gods — an unstoppable surge of galloping riffs, wave splitting melodies, and Viking fury. Produced with the help of Grammy-nominated producer and mix engineer Jacob Hansen (VOLBEAT, ARCH ENEMY, THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, KATATONIA), this is more than a song — it’s a sonic raid, carved from salt and steel, echoing across oceans. Modern metal doesn’t get more epic, or more essential, than this.
The video for “We Rule The Waves,” shot in Riga, Latvia, continues the band’s collaboration with Pavel Trebukhin of Tre Film, who directed the band’s “The Great Heathen Army,” “Heidrun,” and “Saxons & Vikings” videos.
The band previously commented, “‘We Rule The Waves’ is our tribute to the spirit of freedom, brotherhood, and the will to conquer — not just lands, but your own limitations. It’s about standing tall with your clan, facing the storm head-on, and carving your mark into the world like a Viking longship through blackened seas.”
Last month, AMON AMARTH kicked off their US live takeover with PANTERA. Accurately dubbed The Heaviest Tour Of The Summer, the US amphitheater tour commenced on July 15th in Burgettstown, Pennsylvania and will wind its way through over two dozen cities, coming to a close on September 13th in West Palm Beach, Florida. Additional support is being provided by Snafu, Shock Narcotic, King Parrot, and Flesh Hoarder on select dates. Not to be missed, AMON AMARTH is armed with as much of their infamous theater production as the stage can handle.
