The band\'s sixth full-length CD is currently being recorded at Fascination Street studios in Örebro, Sweden for a tentative September release through Metal Blade Records. Amon Amarth will record all through May until June 14 with producer Jens Bogren.

In related news: Metal Blade Records have once again been forced to postpone the release date of the Amon Amarth dvd, \"Wrath of the Norsemen\" — this time to late May — due to \"technical reasons.\" The three-disc set will be released in a deluxe 10-page digipack with special gold-laminated slipcase.
The main body of the dvd is the Cologne show from 2005 — filmed with 11 cameras, this was the longest show Amon Amarth have ever played (23 songs!). Bonus footage includes interviews, behind-the-scenes of the dvd recording and other stuff filmed around the Cologne show.
Discs 2 and 3 feature professionally filmed shows from Summer Breeze 2005, the Metal Blade Rrroooaaarrr 2005 (a show with a really unusual setlist!), Wacken Open Air 2004 and the release show for \"Fate of Norns\" in Ludwigsburg (Germany) in 2004.
