Jomsviking is the tenth studio album by Swedish melodic death metal band Amon Amarth.
[1] It was mixed and produced by Andy Sneap and released on 25 March 2016 through Metal Blade Records and Sony Music.
Vocalist Johan Hegg described the concept of the album: The Jomsvikings and their world is the background for the story of a young man that is in love with a girl but unfortunately she's being married off.
The way the story evolves is not a happy story.Writing for Exclaim!, Renee Trotier wrote that "while longtime fans might be a bit thrown off by some of the more melodic traditional metal elements throughout Jomsviking, the music is well suited to both the concept's narrative and a natural evolution of Amon Amarth's more well known style.
