You'd think Amon Amarth would have run out of ideas for songs after seven albums of Viking-inspired metal tunes. But don't underestimate the Swedish quintet's encyclopedic knowledge of their ancestry. For example, did you know "Miklagaard" is the Viking word for the Roman capital of Constantinople, the city now known as Istanbul,...

The first Sounds Of The Underground tour featured one of the strongest metal festival lineups ever, with Lamb Of God, Opeth, Strapping Young Lad, Clutch, High On Fire and others all sharing the stage. Last year didn't offer nearly as large or as strong a lineup, but that was OK because you still got to see Cannibal Corpse, Behemoth and In Flames...

Amon Amarth: Even Vikings Have A Hard Time Travelling

in
By Pete Richards (CHARTattack) December 19, 2007 11:30 am
I have to admit I was a bit nervous interviewing Sweden's Amon Amarth. A band that call themselves vikings and drink beer out of dead animal horns on stage would make any frail pencil-pusher like myself a tad edgy.
