Dethklok and Amon Amarth will be co-headlining a North American tour together in the spring of 2026. That run will find the real-life incarnation of the animated metal band out with the Viking-obsessed Swedish melodic death metallers in April & May. Medieval doom metal metallers Castle Rat are set to open. They’ve dubbed that run ‘The Amonlok Conquest‘, with the trek set to herald not only a new album from Amon Amarth, but also the 20th anniversary of the ‘Metalocalypse‘ Adult Swim series that spawned Dethklok.
Amon Amarth said of the run:
“Three bands. One night. The strong will scream. The weak will fall. Limbs will be lost. We will crush skulls beneath our boots and tear the halls down stone by stone. This is not a concert. It is a reckoning. If you survive… perhaps the gods have other plans for you.”
Dethklok mastermind Brendon Small added:
“We are celebrating our 20th anniversary, and what better way to do it, with Amon Amarth and Castle Rat, who embody theatrical heavy metal. We’re going to entertain you as hard as we possibly can with the power of heavy metal in many kinds of ways, and many different iterations — from Viking battleships to Castle Rat to Dethklok with our music and fast-paced, insane animation. We challenge ourselves to get in as much material without wearing out our welcome. We also get to be funny.”
Castle Rat‘s vocalist The Rat Queen offered:
“On the heels of the Vernal Equinox, our adjacent universes shall align as we bring .•.The Realm.•. of Castle Rat into battle alongside venerable vikings, Amon Amarth, and Metalocalypse metal-masters, Dethklok! Join us, as we seek to expand and defend .•.The Realm.•. from our arch nemesis: Death, Herself — The Rat Reaperess!”
A pre-sale for Citi cardholders will commence today, Tuesday, December 09th at 10:00am local time. Further presales are planned ahead of the general onsale date for the tour this Friday, December 12th at 10:00am local time.
