Thanks, but I'm not sure you understand exactly what is happening....
The words "Amon Amarth" is the elven name for "Mount Doom" in "Lord Of The Rings" By JRR Tolkien, it's what he named it plain and simple. Like many death and black metal bands and artists they took a name from the LOTR "series" since they are pretty darn sweet (much like "Count Grishnak", AKA. Varg Vikernes. Grishnak is an Orc warlord in the LOTR series).
As far as the Oden/Odin part.
In Swedish he's named "Oden", which he also was by the Scandinavian Vikings back in the day. While "Odin" is how you say "Oden" in english. (just like I say "Hårdrock" in Swedish and one would say "Hard Rock"/"Heavy Metal" in English...
What's not to get?
EDIT: AAAAAAAAAAhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh now I geddit
