    I'm doing the VIP thingy in Boston. Do you know if they had any hockey jerseys on the merch table? Thanks for the info!

    New Amon Amarth Album

    Yes, thank you, that was what I had intended. It would be great if they went back in studio and re-recorded Versus the World. It is definitely one of their best albums and I was amazed at how everything sounded so much better in the new recording.

    New Amon Amarth Album

    Death in Fire 2016 is awesome. I'm sure many will say it's "too clean" or "slick" but I really like the Andy Sneap treatment. Would love to hear all of Versus the World remastered like this.

    New Amon Amarth Album

    FYI, the Japanese Edition of Jomsviking with the two "Death in Fire" bonus tracks is "available" online if you know where to look...

    Thoughts on A Dream That Cannot Be (feat. Doro)?

    Sorry guys, wasn't trying to say anyone on this forum thought that way. I don't think the boys from Amon Amarth lose any sleep over some of the stupid comments out there. Like I wrote, I laugh at some of the irony. @PowerBlade Sorry man, I didn't mean to take your valid point and turn it...

    Thoughts on A Dream That Cannot Be (feat. Doro)?

    This whole subject is what makes me laugh when I read reviews, etc. of Amon Amarth. I don't think I have ever seen a band who has been more criticized for being consistent. Everywhere you look all you read is "all Amon Amarth albums are the same", "you wanna hear the new Amon Amarth album...

    Thoughts on A Dream That Cannot Be (feat. Doro)?

    The song is fine. It fits the album well. It is better than Hel. You'll never hear it live so don't worry about it. If the biggest issue with Jomsviking is A Dream That Cannot Be then I think Amon Amarth can rest easily. There are few bands that can even release ten albums. There are fewer...

    Rank the albums from best to worst.

    On the eve of the worldwide release of Amon Amarth's tenth studio album, Jomsviking, I thought it would be fitting to bring back everyone's favorite subject. Which is Amon Amarth's best album. I've put in a good deal of time listening and thinking about my list but in the end it is just one...

    New Amon Amarth Album

    Vikingman, that's awesome! I've seen two videos from the Paris show so far, Pursuit of Vikings and Father of the Wolf. That play set is perfect. I hope they keep it for the whole tour. \m/

    New Amon Amarth Album

    Okay, I've listened to Jomsviking many times now and I feel very comfortable making the following statement. Jomsviking kicks ass as well as ANY previous Amon Amarth album. It is on par with, if not better than (as a whole), both Twilight of the Thundergod and With Oden on Our Side. This is...

    New Amon Amarth Album

    I've gone through it three or four times now. It gets better with each listen. Of the last three albums ("SR", "DotG" and "J") it is easily the best in my opinion. Though it is a concept album each song stands on its own. At the end of the day I only thought three or four songs were really...

    New Amon Amarth Album

    I have listened to it once so far. It is different. I think "First Kill" and "At Dawn's First Light" are the most "typical" Amon Amarth. I'll be listening to it several more times today. One thing I found interesting is how many reviewers did not like the song with Doro Pesch. Based on the...

    New Amon Amarth Album

    23Apr16 in Boston for me. I'm doing the meet and greet. I've seen them in concert many times but have never met them. Can't wait!

    New Amon Amarth Album

    Finally got to watch the video. That was epic. I'm thinking you guys in Europe are definitely going to see some on stage Jomsviking action at the bigger shows.
