AMON AMARTH’S ALBUM ART FOR SURTUR RISING IS VIKING-TASTIC

Amon Amarth have released the cover art for their latest offering, Surtur Rising, and, uh, it looks like an Amon Amarth album cover. That’s not a criticism, by the way — if they suddenly had, say, an angry vagina on their album cover, it would be way weird — it’s just an observation. In any case, I can think of no image more appropriate for Amon Amarth than a giant dude wielding a lightning sword while a volcano erupts behind him. I almost can’t believe they missed out on the opportunity to make him a minotaur, too… although I guess that’s the wrong culture.

Surtur Rising comes out March 29 on Metal Blade, and the only people not excited are the ones who hate fun.
