They probably did not want to settle there, with all the people arriving, and the struggling government. They probably werent even thinking about America at the time.

Why do youi think the vikings did not try to colonize the Americas?
The agreed upon answer is that the natives were too fierce, and the environment was too difficult for the vikings. They were in constant conflict with the Skraelings and I think there were harsh winters(could be wrong about that part). Either way, it was difficult and long to bring vikings over and when they got there they had to gather food and fight an increasingly hostile native population. Not that easy or appetizing.

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.
