Live concert filmed at the Bloodstock Open Air festival in 2017, on the Ronnie James Dio Stage, this full concert captures Sweden’s Amon Amarth, a reference in melodic death metal with Viking imagery. Driven by Johan Hegg’s cavernous voice, the band unfolds its warrior anthems — galloping riffs, chanted choruses and epic staging — before a wild British crowd. Captured by the Bloodstock crew, one of Europe’s leading metal festivals, this live concert conveys the sonic power and visual impact of a show conceived like a pitched battle. This filmed live concert illustrates Amon Amarth’s stagecraft, which through the 2010s became a fixture of major metal stages. The multi-track capture highlights both the crowd’s energy and the band’s precision. A full concert to savor for its intensity, walls of guitars and sense of spectacle, essential for fans of melodic death metal and historically themed metal, and a vivid snapshot of a band at the peak of its festival powers before a devoted crowd.
