Vikings were polytheists, similar to the Greeks or Romans, however, their myths tended to be a bit more aggressive, as the culture was more war oriented. The goal of the Vikings was to die in battle so that they would be taken up by valkyries to valhalla where they would spend eternity fighting in glorious battles by day and drinking and feasting all night. Another famous myth is Ragnarok, which is the end of the first world when Odin and the other gods fight the frost giants and lose, resulting in the entire world being frozen and dead.

Is amon amarth viking?
Amon Amarth is from Sweden, and the Vikings were heavily populated there in the late 8th century. To answer your question, they greatly admire the Vikings and all Pagan beliefs, but are not full blooded Vikings. However this is not to say they do not try to live like them or are not descended from them, but the acts that Vikings pursued are frowned upon and usually illegal in most countries. So no, Amon Amarth is Viking-themed, but not completely Viking.
