The Great Heathen Army (White [Fur Off] Marbled Vinyl)

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.

The album has received positive reviews from critics, with many praising the band’s return to their melodic death metal roots. 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”.

The album has also been a commercial success, reaching number 1 on the Swedish Albums Chart and number 2 on the Finnish Albums Chart.
