WebsiteAmon Amarth is a Swedish heavy metal band founded in 1992 in Tumba. The band is often cited as part of the viking metal movement because it deals with themes related to the Vikings and Scandinavian mythology. The band's name means Mountain of Doom in Sindarin, a language constructed by the philologist and writer J. R. R. Tolkien. Formed in 1988 under the name Scum in Tumba, Sweden, the original band was a grindcore band, formed by Paul "Themgoroth" Mäkitalo (Dark Funeral) on vocals, Olavi Mikkonen on guitar, and Ted Lundström on bass. It was with the arrival of Johan Hegg on vocals that the band changed musical direction and turned towards melodic death metal.
