Amon Amarth recently launched their new music video, the title track to their 2013 album, Deceiver Of The Gods.
The video for "Deceiver Of The Gods" features clips from the upcoming film, Northmen - A Viking Saga, which stars Tom Hopper, Ryan Kwanten, Ken Duken, and features Johan Hegg as Valli. It's no surprise, given the level of talent and eye-catching visuals of the film that this will be the most remarkable Amon Amarth video to date. Watch below:
Johan Hegg plays the role of Viking Warrior Valli in Northmen: A Viking Saga, the historical action film by Swiss director Claudio Fäh, set for release October 23rd.
Johan comments on his role: "Valli is a very experienced warrior and has a strong bond with his younger brother Bjorn.Valli looks brutal with his broad back and leather-dominated clothing. He has already experienced and survived a great deal. His face is full of scars."
A plot synopsis reads as follows: In the 9th century a group of Vikings, commanded by captain Asbjörn, is approaching Britain, aiming to plunder the rich monasteries in the north of the island. But their ship gets caught in a storm and is smashed to pieces on the rocks off the coast of Scotland, the only part of Britain without any Viking settlements. When Inghean, daughter of the Scottish King Dunchaid, by chance falls into Viking hands, they see the opportunity for demanding a large ransom. King Dunchaid immediately sets his “wolfpack” - a group of mercenaries well known for their savagery - on them. The Northmen with their hostage now have to force their way through the rough highlands, where they meet the brave and mysterious Christian monk Conall. Having the wolfpack close on their heels, a desperate race against time begins. A battle over life and death...
