Deeply rooted in melodic death metal with firm beliefs in Viking mythology, AMON AMARTH (formerly known as SCUM) formed in 1992 in Tumba , Sweden, a southern suburb of Stockholm. They began writing material with lots of melodies, harmonies and lyrics about Vikings and the norse Pantheon. In summer 1993 they entered Lagret Studio to record the never released demo "Thor Arise". Allthough,, it appeared on the bonus disc of the album 'Versus The World' later on. The band continued to rehearse and writing stronger material and again entered the studio.
