AMON AMARTH Report On Video Recording For 'Twilight Of The Thunder God'; Photos Available
AMON AMARTH check in with the following report:
"We recently returned from Poland after shooting the first video for the upcoming album Twilight Of The Thunder God. The video will be for the title track.
We joined efforts with the Polish team, Group 13 and director Dariusz Szermanowicz for 'Twilight Of The Thunder God' and filmed it on the old Viking site, Jomsborg, home of the Jomsvikings in Wolin, Poland.
Our brothers from Jomsvikings traveled from far and wide, places like Poland, Germany, Belgium, England, Australia and USA to be part of this great video.
It seemed that the Thunder God was on our side when shooting the video because a hurricane/storm passed through the area during the day, creating the chaotic and violent atmosphere we were hoping for. It was the toughest conditions we ever recorded a video in, blood and sweat, quite literally both, were part of the making. But we don't mind getting our hands dirty and metal was never supposed to be "nice". In fact we couldn't have wished for a more fitting video shoot for this song, being the Ragnarök and all!
We want to thank Igor for making this possible, Blodhvitnir Meldric and Sana, the Group 13 crew for their professional work and of course the Jomsvikings for being made of steel!"
