Johan says: "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."
Hegg's Viking-related lyrics with Amon Amarth - and his imposing physical stature - helped him land the role. Ralph Dietrich, chief executive officer of the film's production company Ascot Elite Entertainment Group, says: "It is an honour to have metal icon Johan Hegg set sail with us and we could not be more excited. Such a fitting addition, Johan's music, as the lead singer of Amon Amarth, is synonymous with the Viking experience that we are bringing to life in Northmen - A Viking Saga."
