Amon Amarth have released the video below for their new single “Heidrun“. The track is from the band’s latest album The Great Heathen Army.
Johan Hegg, the band’s frontman, offered the following:
“Heidrun is an interesting mythological character, it’s a goat that stands on the roof of Valhalla eating the leaf of the big tree Lärad. The milk that she gives is the honey/mead that the warriors in Valhalla drink each night. The lyrics themselves are both about Vikings traveling the world but also metaphorically what it is to be a touring musician.”
You can catch the band on the following tour dates:
08/10 Omaha, NE – The Admiral (feat. Creeping Death & 200 Stab Wounds)
09/09 Riverside, CA – Riverside Municipal Auditorium (feat. Gatecreeper)
