I was wondering.. where does this name comes from.. i mean, i've read the song lyrics "amon amarth" but it doesn't really explain.. i've read the biography and it doesn't at all.. moreover i've studied enough of tolkien's writings to know that amon amarth, in (gray) elvish, means unlucky mountain (a-marth is the negation of marth, "luck", and amon means mountain) which is in fact sauron's mountain.. and yet i know that most of tolkien's ideas are taken from norse/german mythology (just take a look at the dwarven names, at tyr's hand -> beren's hand) so in the end why has the band chosen this name?
i firstly thought to make a search on the forum but then i realized that putting "amon amarth" as a keyword would have been nearly useless ^^'
