An Evening With Amon Amarth

[Dolamite S. Biffle]

Swedish melodic death metal tyrants AMON AMARTH have announce their 2011 U.S. headlining tour. Simply dubbed "An Evening With Amon Amarth", this very special trek will find the band touring without support and instead performing two separate sets each night! One set will feature upcoming album, "Surtur Rising", in its entirety. The Viking-inspired festivities will commence on April 14 in Chicago, Illinois and pillage its way through 17 cities throughout the country before drawing to a climactic close on May 7 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Commented drummer Fredrik Andersson: "We're really excited about the upcoming album, 'Surtur Rising'. And what better way to showcase it by playing the full album on our first U.S. tour for 'Surtur Rising'?! It's definitely a unique opportunity for our fans because not only will the album be performed live but a second set with material from our previous albums will take place. We want our fans to really experience AMON AMARTH."

Not a chance...!

 

[See You In Hell]

I have to hope that there will be a second leg of this tour later in 2011 as several major cities were skipped and the number of dates on the tour strikes me as a tad small. But what do I know? hahahaha

 

[RGiles]

I will be there for the Atlanta show.

Me too. It's even on a Sunday, which conflicts with nothing except getting BARELY enough sleep before work the next day.
