A Banda do Momento


ESPÍRITO VIKING



Amon Amarth é uma banda da cidade de Tumba, Suécia de death metal melódico com tema viking em suas letras. Como o próprio vocalista já disse, a banda não é Viking Metal, apenas canta músicas sobre Vikings e sobre a mitologia nórdica.

Formada originalmente em 1988 com o nome "Scum", tornou-se Amon Amarth em 1992, nome retirado da obra "O Senhor dos Anéis" de J.R.R. Tolkien, onde significa "Montanha da Perdição" ("Mount Doom") em Sindarin, idioma também denominado "a língua dos elfos-cinzentos", "a língua de Beleriand", "a língua nobre", sendo várias vezes referida nos livros como simplesmente "a língua élfica".

Em 1992, a quando da adopção do novo nome, a banda era composta pelo vocalista Johan Hegg, pelos guitarristas Olavi Mikkonen e Anders Hansson, pelo baixista Ted Lundström e pelo baterista Nico Kaukinen.

A primeira demo da banda, "Thor Arise", foi gravada em 1993, mas nunca chegou a ser editada devido a problemas de som. Seguiu-se uma segunda demo, em Abril de 1994, "Arrival of the Fimbul Winter", da qual foram vendidas todas as cópias editadas.

Em Novembro de 1995, após assinarem um contrato com a editora Pulverised Records, a banda decidiu utilizar no decurso de cinco dias o "Abyss Studio" de Peter Tägtgren (vocalista e guitarrista da banda Hypocrisy). Assim, foi editado em Abril de 1996 o EP "Sorrow Throughout The Nine Worlds".

Pouco depois o baterista Niko Kaukinen saiu da banda, sendo substituído por Martin Lopez. Com um novo baterista e, mais uma vez, a ajuda de Peter Tägtgren, o álbum de estreia do Amon Amarth, "Once Sent From The Golden Hall", é lançado em 1998 pela editora Metal Blade.

Foram adicionamos à banda o guitarrista Johan Söderberg e o baterista Fredrik Andersson em 1999 para a gravação do álbum "The Avenger", devido à saída de Hansson e Lopez. Lopez saiu para se juntar à banda Opeth, com a qual gravou vários álbuns entre 1998 e 2005.



Nota: Se procura pela montanha da obra de J.R.R. Tolkien, consulte Amon Amarth.
