Wannabe Vikings, rejoice! Northmen – A Viking Saga has a new trailer. The film, directed by Claudio Feah, stars Ryan Kwanten, Ed Skrein and Tom Hopper and features Johan Hegg, frontman of the ever-awesome melodic death metal band Amon Amarth.

The film’s website offers this description:

In the 9th century a group of Vikings, commanded by captain Asbjörn, is approaching Britain, aiming to plunder the rich monasteries in the north of the island. But their ship gets caught in a storm and is smashed to pieces on the rocks off the coast of Scotland, the only part of Britain without any Viking settlements. When Inghean, daughter of the Scottish King Dunchaid, by chance falls into Viking hands, they see the opportunity for demanding a large ransom. King Dunchaid immediately sets his “wolfpack” – a group of mercenaries well known for their savagery – on them. The Northmen with their hostage now have to force their way through the rough highlands, where they meet the brave and mysterious Christian monk Conall. Having the wolfpack close on their heels, a desperate race against time begins. A battle over life and death…

The trailer does not disappoint with numerous epic fights and battle cries galore. The film is slated for overseas release on October 23.
