    Vancouver show Oct 1 2014

    Seems the crickets have taken over this forum since I was a regular around here. Anyways, my wife and I will be at the Vancouver show, seeing the mighty Amon Amarth for the third time. Just wondering if any others from the more, uh, mature crowd (40+) might be going as well. Wouldn't mind...

    Viking mythology and all that goes with it

    King's book was reprinted as "Elements of the Runes" by Element Press a couple years ago and would be a lot easier to find than the earlier printing. It is indeed a very good starting point.

    Vilewoman's off-topic random retardation thread.

    I simply spend a lot less time online than I did a couple years ago. I've been finding the older I get, the more extreme my metal taste has become. I listen to a lot more "out there" stuff like Goreguts and Ruins of Beverast and Oransi Pazuzu than I used to. I've definitely passed the metal...

    US/Canada Tour Part II

    14 and Amon Amarth for your first show will spoil a lot of bands for you. They are my favourite live act that I have seen (that list includes most of the "big" acts like Priest, Maiden. Slayer...). If you're planning on spending both sets down in front, be prepared to sweat a tonne and get...

    US/Canada Tour Part II

    Next time they come to Vancouver we'll have to meet up. My wife and I usually make the trip over once a year to catch a concert (we're on the Island) and we decided after Thursday that we're going to wait for Amon Amarth every year. You may have seen me. I've got a distinctive set of tattoos on...

    US/Canada Tour Part II

    That is the hoodie. They did have the Surtur Rising flags for $15. Most of the shirt designs in that link were available, except the grey one and the Odin battling Fenris one. I ended up buying five different shirt designs, all regular T's, for my family.

    Best 10 Amon Amarth songs

    Tough to do and subject to change since there are 20 songs that belong on this list for me. In album order: Friends of the Suncross Bleed for Ancient Gods Masters of War Across the Rainbow Bridge Down the Slopes of Death Valhall Awaits Me Runes to My Memory Free Will Sacrifice The Last Stand of...

    US/Canada Tour Part II

    I haven't seen the one in the online shop. It's a black hoodie. The design on the back has the band logo over three bearded skulls with short swords crossing behind the front skull, a knotwork Mjollnir head above the skulls but behind the logo and "Again we march to war" written in elder futhark...

    US/Canada Tour Part II

    I was a regular here a couple years back but haven't been on for a loooong time. The Vancouver show was fantastic. First time I've seen them since '08 and they've gotten better. I was front and centre for the second set abusing my 40 year old body because after the first set there was no way I...

    Hit or Miss

    Not sure...I don't think smug and proud are quite the same. I was actually thinking of myself. Guilty conscience much? The next person did something today they haven't done for years.

    Hit or Miss

    Hit - I'm in my house cleaning sweats. The next person is spending time on here and avoiding something.

    What other bands...

    Missed him on my list, so you're not alone. I actually have Dragula for a ring tone.

    What other bands...

    I'll go out on a limb and list some of my overall favourites next to the might Amon Amarth JS Bach Mozart Tchaikovsky (In the running for worlds first headbanger. The man thought cannons were percussion instruments.) The Who The Clash Ramones Robert Johnson John Lee Hooker Louis Armstrong...

    Miss - my family has had strong luck for many generations. Next person is going to explain what a "Queen Bitch" chair is.
