(Metal Hammer) Amon Amarth have confirmed that drummer Jocke Wallgren is now a permanent member of the band.

He has done a great job for us on the current world tour, bringing excellent drumming with a positive attitude and great personality, something that will definitely benefit Amon Amarth for years to come." Wallgren adds: "I'm super excited to jump aboard the unstoppable Amon Amarth longship! My predecessors have inspired me greatly throughout the years and I will do my best to honour the legacy that is Amon Amarth." Read more here.
