Amon Amarth release new music video for ‘Shield Wall’

AMON AMARTH have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Shield Wall, is taken from the band’s latest studio album Berserker which was released last year.

Directed by Phil Wallis and produced by Alexander Milas/Twin V Ltd – the same team behind the band’s 2018 feature-length documentary The Pursuit of Vikings – the aim of Shield Wall was to produce a historically accurate portrayal of the battlefield tactics that Vikings were known and also notorious for. Working closely with noted Viking scholar and battle reenactor Igor Górewicz of the Triglav and Jomsborg Vikings, the video was shot on location in Wolin, Poland – site of the world-renowned annual Festival of Slavs and Vikings – and featured extras from the worlds’ foremost Viking reenactment groups, including Triglav, Maximas von Bracey’s Ulflag, and Germany’s Blóðvítnir, friends of AMON AMARTH whose longtime member Sana portrays the story’s raiding party commander.

Berserker is out now via Music For Nations/Metal Blade Records. The band will be touring Europe and the UK this November and December.
