AMON AMARTH Announce American Tour (paradise)[views:47268][posts:122][show listing] ______________________________________ [Feb 10,2011 5:51pm - the_reverend ""] AMON AMARTH Announce American Tour Band To Perform Two Sets Each Night! Melodic death metal tyrants AMON AMARTH are proud to 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 14th 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. Elaborated 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." Surtur Rising, the band's eagerly anticipated eighth studio effort, is scheduled for North American release on March 29, 2011 via Metal Blade Records. Named in tribute to Surtur, leader of the fire giants of Muspelheim ("flame land") and the oldest being in the nine worlds of Norse mythology, the follow-up to 2008's heroic Twilight Of The Thunder God, was recorded, mixed and mastered at Fascination Street Studios Örebro, Sweden with Jens Bogren and bears a striking, war-torn cover by Tom Thiel.

| ___________________________________ [Feb 10,2011 7:23pm - nekronaut ""] This was definitely sell out. |
| __________________________________________ [Feb 10,2011 9:09pm - MillenialKingdom ""] Oh wow, this is at the Paradise! That venue is great. |
| ______________________________ [Feb 11,2011 7:47am - Yeti ""] awesome. time to get blackout shitfaced and not remember the show. like every time i've seen Amon Amarth. |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 11,2011 10:04am - nostromo ""] Here's hoping the second set of the night isn't just songs from the last peice of shit album, plus like, 2 old songs. I want to hear material from golden hall crusher and avenger. |
| __________________________________________ [Feb 11,2011 10:09am - arkquimanthorn ""] more bands playing full albums or gtfo. an avenger set would kill me. |
| _____________________________________________ [Feb 11,2011 10:15am - AndrewBastard NLI ""] I'm with you... I like Amon Amarth and all but it all kinda runs together and there's been nothing stand out by them in quite some time... however; i LOVE the Avenger, even more than Once Sent... When I saw them at the old Met Cafe in Providence in 2003 they played like half of that album and I was loving it. Plus that place is tiny so I was right in their face... http://returntothepit.com/concert.php?band=amon_amarth&date=2003-04-06 |
| __________________________________________ [Feb 11,2011 10:18am - arkquimanthorn ""] holy shit, big band tiny room. |
| _______________________________ [Feb 11,2011 10:30am - Yeti ""] agreed in the sense that it does all run together, but for some reason i can't get enough of it. they do one thing, and they don't try to do anything else. i loved Twilight of the Thunder God. |
| _________________________________________ [Feb 11,2011 11:10am - DestroyYouAlot ""] For what it's worth, my take: The album as a whole is a little lean on the killer/filler ratio, but "Twilight of the Thunder God" may be the perfect AA song. |
| __________________________________________ [Feb 11,2011 11:13am - arkquimanthorn ""] i can agree. i do like every song on Oden On Our Side. |

| ______________________________ [Feb 11,2011 1:21pm - Yeti ""] i think Fate of Norns is awesome too, and a lot of people think that one is boring. |
| ____________________________________ [Feb 11,2011 1:48pm - arilliusbm ""] First three albums are the best. Needs MOAR TREM PICKING PLEASE |

| __________________________________________ [Feb 17,2011 1:06pm - Randy Marsh nli ""] didnt mind Twilight of the Thunder Gods but never put it on. All the ones before that were good but sounded all exactly the same and could hardly decipher songs from songs and only albums due to production. would still possibly be interested in seeing this though. |
| ____________________________________ [Feb 17,2011 5:03pm - Black_Folk ""] ohhh hallejewla, praised be to jebus. is this a small venue? |
| ________________________________________ [Feb 28,2011 8:51pm - DestroyYouAlot ""] The Boston and Philly dates posted above are reversed, according to amonamarth.net - Philly's the 6th and Boston's the next day. |

| ____________________________________________ [Feb 28,2011 9:56pm - Davemonic at home ""] The Avenger one of my favorites, Fate of norns kind of boring but i dig it, the new stuff i haven't heard yet, seen Amon Amarth at the paradise and headbang right in front of their face = pricelss |

| _____________________________________ [Apr 21,2011 9:08am - ouchdrummer ""] 2 blocks from my house FTW! |
| ________________________________ [Apr 21,2011 9:10am - Spydre ""] I heard a rumor that there are no openers and Amon Amarth is playing two sets (one for the new album, and one with classic songs). Don't know if it's actually true or not. |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 21,2011 10:41am - ouchdrummer ""] that would be epic as shit. |
| _______________________________ [Apr 21,2011 10:42am - Yeti ""] yes that is correct. is this sold out? Jimbo if you're going i'm coming to your house so we can pre-game. i tend to get very, very drunk at Amon Amarth shows. |
