* DeathByAdaptation: In the original Norse Myths from the Eddas, [[KarmaHoudini Surt survives Ragnarök]] and his fate in the new world is unknown. In ''Destroyer of the Universe'' [[SurprisinglyHappyEnding he drowns in the flood that destroys the old world and heralds the arrival of a new one.]]

* InsistentTerminology: The band strongly resents being referred to as "Viking metal", and prefers to be thought of as a death metal band that happens to sing about Vikings a lot.

* LimitedSpecialCollectorsUltimateEdition: Most of the group's albums include a bonus disc which may include demos, live tracks, or ''full concert [=DVD=]s'' lengthier than the actual album.



* ManlyTears: The narrator of "The Fate of Norns" cries these when his only son dies. The song itself [[TearJerker may induce these as well]], as he decides to join his son on the pyre rather than go on.

* OffWithHisHead: Mentioned in "War of the Gods", this is the ultimate fate of Mimir at the hands of the Vanir. The spoken Swedish in the song reveals that Odin managed to keep his head alive however.

* ManlyFacialHair: Amon Amarth is a whole band of fairly beardy fellows who play songs of war, bloodshed, and Viking glory, but Johan, of course, most readily applies to both functions of the trope with his massive frame, roaring vocals, and positively legendary chest-length chin carpet. A great deal of the fun of the band's music videos comes from Johan gloriously windmilling not just his hair, but his ''beard.''

* HiddenDisdainReveal: Happens in Töck's Taunt: Loke's Treachery P.II. The world itself weeps for Balder, so that he may return from Hel's halls, per the conditions of Hel's bargain with Hermod. Loki, under the guise of a giant named Töck, utters this curse, resulting in his imprisonment beneath the earth, and Baldur's imprisonment in Hel until Ragnarök.
-->My name is Töck!\\
And I won't cry,\\
I won't let Balder return!\\
Let Hel keep her treasured prize,\\
'''Let his soul forever burn!'''



* TheCameo: Music/DoroPesch sings the role of the protagonist's OldFlame in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IINxwsSDf80 "A Dream that Can Never Be"]]. She's also appeared to perform the song at concerts, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsjNUUcfy8g such as this one]].

* AllMythsAreTrue: At least as far as the ones concerning Norse gods. They sing about the death of Norse gods, ascending to Valhalla, and the coming of Ragnarok as if they're all true.
* ApocalypseWow: Many songs depict Ragnarok or allude to it, such as ''Tattered Banners and Bloody Flags'', and half the songs of the ''Surtur Rising'' album.

** On the flip side, in Norse mythology Baldr is said to [[BackFromTheDead resurrect after Ragnarok]], likely a motif borrowed from Christianity. In ''Tock's Taunt / Loke's Treachery Part II'' there's no mention of the idea Baldr will ever return.
