The band starts this year
In an interview during the Bloodstock Open Air festival, Amon Amarth guitarist Johan Söderberg said that as soon as the current tour is over, the band will begin writing a new album.
"At the end of the summer, the tour for this album ends. And then we'll start writing new songs for the next album ," said Söderberg.
When asked if he already has any new material, the musician replied: “We never write new material on the road. But this year we bought a small computer with a sound interface that we can actually use to compose new things if it makes sense. But it hasn't happened yet.”
Amon Amarth's last album, Jomsviking , was released in March 2016. Their next album will mark the debut of drummer Jocke Wallgren, who joined the band in September.
