Dethklok's Brendon Small Names His 5 Favorite Amon Amarth Songs

With Brendon Small hitting the road with Dethklok on co-headlining North American tour alongside Swedish viking battalion Amon Amarth, don't you want to know what his favorite Amon Amarth songs are?

We do, so we found out!

This year marks the 30th anniversary of Amon Amarth's Sorrow Throughout the Nine Worlds demo, which has now lead to a 12-album rampage across the decades and through the continents of our one world.

The Dethklok and Metalocalypse mastermind narrowed it down to his Top 5 for us, some of which we're sure he'll be seeing each night of the AmonKlok tour, which stretches from April 15 to May 21 with special guest Castle Rat.

He assures us he's been a fan for a long time, too. "I dug Amon Amarth from the first time i heard them in the early 2000s," Small says, "They were definitely an inspiration to Dethklok and we’re so pumped to be touring with them!

See his choices below:

1. "The Pursuit of Vikings" (Fate of Norns)

To me this is ultimate AMON AMARTH that gallop, those chords. I remember hearing this the first time and thinking this band had really carved out its own patch of land and was ready to conquer more.

2. "Cry of the Black Birds" (With Oden on Our Side)

Melancholic battle leads our cold corpses into Oden’s grasp.

3. "Releasing Surtur’s Fire" (The Crusher)

raw, fast invoking THOR, this album defined a new kind of brutality.

4. "Raise Your Horns" (Jomsviking)

Who doesn’t love palling around and drinking with vikings?

5. "Raven’s Flight" (Berserker)

This one really rips. It’s a great cross section of melodic and biting.
