Formed under the name Scum (Swe), then changed to Amon Amarth.

In J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings" Amon Amarth is Sindarin for Mount Doom.

In 2004 Amon Amarth donated their rendition of "The Eyes Of Horror" to the "Seven Gates Of Horror" tribute album assembled by the Dutch Karmaggedon Media label in homage to pioneering Bay Area Thrash act Possessed. This cover was also used as a bonus track on Amon Amarth's "The Crusher" album.
