Fate of Norns is the fifth full-length album released by the melodic death metal band Amon Amarth. The song The Pursuit of Vikings was made into a music video. This album continued their slower, heavier sound which started on the previous album "Versus The World."

When asked to comment on the Album, lead singer Johan Hegg, said - "The sound is more mature than on previous albums. I think the foundation for this sound started when we changed studios from Abyss to Berno when we got to working with Berno Paulsson. We improved the sound a lot for this album. We were able to make all the instruments work better together and still make them prominent one by one in the production as well. We were also able to keep the heaviness and brutality we need to be Amon Amarth."
