Amon Amarth Premiere New Music Video For “Heidrun” - Remixed With Actual Goat Vocals

Swedish melodic death metal band Amon Amarth are shining a spotlight on their song "Heidrun" with the release of a new digital EP. Alongside the EP, the outfit have unveiled a captivating music video for the track. "Heidrun" originally appeared on their latest album, "The Great Heathen Army."

The EP features a newly remixed version of the title track and an extraordinary rendition with 'vocals' contributed by actual goats. Additionally, fans can enjoy two powerful live tracks: a live performance of "Heidrun" from the 'Graspop Metal Meeting' and "Put Your Back Into The Oar" from the 'Hellfest Open Air.' This EP offers a mix of studio and live performances.

Tells frontman Johan Hegg:

“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.”

08/10 Omaha, NE – The Admiral (feat. Creeping Death & 200 Stab Wounds)
09/09 Riverside, CA – Riverside Municipal Auditorium (feat. Gatecreeper)
