BRUTAL! VIKING METAL CONQUERS MELODIC DEATH: Amon Amarth and Dethklok Announce ‘THE AMONKLOK CONQUEST’ 2026 Tour

Posted on by

Gentlemen, start your longships! The metal world just got the announcement it didn’t know it desperately needed. Amon Amarth, the legendary Swedish melodic death metal band, is joining forces with the animated titans of mayhem, Dethklok, for a colossal 2026 co-headlining tour: “THE AMONKLOK CONQUEST.”

The tour announcement dropped in a hilarious promo video that perfectly captures the contrast between Dethklok’s absurd, business-minded brutality and Amon Amarth’s commitment to Viking lore.

A Conquering Partnership

Ultimately, the tour landed on the appropriately epic (and slightly forced) name, “THE AMONKLOK CONQUEST,” promising a brutal and unforgettable run of shows.

Why This Tour Is Massive

The pairing of these two metal juggernauts is brilliant:

  • Amon Amarth brings the raw, historical power of Viking mythology, complete with massive stage props, theatrical sword fights, and Hegg’s commanding presence.

  • Dethklok, the fictional band from the Adult Swim series Metalocalypse, brings satirical hyper-brutality, technical skill, and a dedicated, cult fanbase eager to see Nathan Explosion, Skwisgaar Skwigelf, and the rest of the crew perform live (often with animated visual cues from the show).

This tour is poised to be one of the biggest metal events of 2026, offering both crushing death metal and highly technical, comedic savagery.

Adding further to the excitement, the tour will feature special guest Castle Rat, ensuring the entire night will be a relentless onslaught of heavy sound.

Offdensen sums it up best with the final promise: “It will be brutal.”
