Swedish viking metal powerhouse, AMON AMARTH, continues its triumphant reign with the release of a captivating music video for their epic Valhalla anthem “Heidrun,” featured on their chart-topping album “The Great Heathen Army.” Additionally, AMON AMARTH presents an exclusive 4-track digital single of “Heidrun,” which includes a newly remixed version of the single, two exhilarating live bonus tracks, and a unique “goat remix” featuring actual goat vocals. Immerse yourself in the immersive music video for “Heidrun”
Explore the digital single on your preferred streaming platform.
Frontman Johan Hegg casts light on the mythological significance of “Heidrun”:
“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.”
“Heidrun” Digital Single Track List:
- Heidrun (2023 Remix)
- Heidrun (Live at Graspop, 2023)
- Put Your Back into the Oar (Live at Hellfest, 2023)
- Heidrun (Goat Remix)
