Amon Amarth "The Great Heathen Army (Digipak, USA, Metal Blade Records, 3984-16003-2)"

The Great Heathen Army is the twelfth studio album by Swedish melodic death metal band Amon Amarth. It was released on 5 August 2022, through Metal Blade Records and Sony Music.

Dan Slessor of Kerrang! described the album as "a step back towards their melodic death metal origins, and it is definitely to their betterment, delivering perhaps the strongest collection since 2008's Twilight of the Thunder God".

Blabbermouth.net portrayed the album as "Both an unapologetic, festival-ready dose of new, gleaming, Viking-populated anthems, and one of the darkest and most brutal albums they have yet made".
