Info
Amon Amarth bring their Norse‑steeped melodic death metal to O2 Apollo, Manchester, on 9 October 2026, with Soilwork along for a heavyweight Swedish pairing. Formed in Tumba in the early ’90s, Amon Amarth have built a clear signature: driving riffs, martial grooves and melodies that channel sagas and sea spray without losing bite. Johan Hegg’s deep growl leads the charge while the guitar duo Olavi Mikkonen and Johan Söderberg tesselate harmonies and cutting rhythms. On stage, their Viking imagery and tight pacing turn narrative metal into a live narrative, drawing from early staples like Once Sent from the Golden Hall through concept chapters such as Jomsviking and recent cuts from Berserker and The Great Heathen Army.
Soilwork open a different window on the Swedish melodeath spectrum. From Helsingborg, the band led by Björn “Speed” Strid blends rapid‑fire riffing with a modern sense of dynamics, slipping between harsh vocals and clean lines, framed by keyboards that widen the sound. Across albums like Natural Born Chaos, Figure Number Five, the double set The Living Infinite and the more recent Övergivenheten, they balance impact and melody, thrash‑tinged edges and airy passages. Live, that mix translates into sharp contrasts and songs built to move from precision assaults to clear, memorable refrains.
