Netflix Set to Release Documentary on Legendary Metal Band Amon Amarth

Netflix has announced an upcoming documentary spotlighting the iconic Swedish melodic death metal band Amon Amarth, marking a significant addition to its growing catalog of music-centered films and series.

Titled Amon Amarth: Heirs of the Viking Legacy, the documentary is set to explore the band’s remarkable journey from their early beginnings in Tumba, Sweden, to becoming one of the most celebrated names in modern metal. Known for their thunderous sound, Viking-themed lyrics, and elaborate stage performances, Amon Amarth has carved a unique niche in the global music scene since their formation in the early 1990s.

The documentary will feature rare archival footage, behind-the-scenes moments from past tours, and in-depth interviews with all five band members — Johan Hegg, Olavi Mikkonen, Ted Lundström, Johan Söderberg, and Jocke Wallgren. Viewers can also expect commentary from prominent figures in the metal community and footage from some of the band’s most memorable live performances.

Netflix’s foray into heavy metal storytelling with Amon Amarth follows the success of previous music documentaries like Metallica: Some Kind of Monster and This Is Pop, underscoring the platform’s continued commitment to diverse musical genres and fanbases.
