As a Swedish death metal band that mainly pens and performs songs about Viking history and lore, it makes absolute sense that their name is in the fictional language of Sindarin (created by J. R. R. Tolkien) and translates into “Mount Doom”—the volcano in Tolkien’s fantasy world of Middle Earth. It’s also fitting that Johan Hegg (vocals), Olavi Mikkonen (guitar), Johan Söderberg (guitar), Ted Lundström (bass) and Fredrik Andersson play über-loud hit songs like “Death In Fire,” “Thousand Years of Oppression,” “Without Fear,” “A Fury Divine” and “Risen From the Sea” with as much speed and vigor as wielded by the almighty hammer of Thor. Legions of death metal fans have been grabbing concert tickets since the early ‘90s to witness the fire and fury of Amon Amarth LIVE on stage, performing music that the band’s website describes as “a compelling fusion of buzzsaw riff work, melodic harmonies and soul-crushing rhythms.” Amon Amarth frequently play at metal festivals around the globe and tour with other top-notch death metal acts like Goatwhore, Enslaved and Skeletonwitch.
Over the course of their career, Amon Amarth have played at venues like Arizona Federal Theatre, and have brought The Fillmore (Philadelphia), The Fillmore (Detroit), The Fillmore (Minneapolis) to capacity.
Absolutely incredibly show... they played the entire Surtur Rising album start to finish for the first set, took a 15 minute break, then came back out for about an hour and a half, playing most of their best songs. After the second set, they came back for an encore of yet another 4 songs. Their energy was amazing - I can't even imagine how Johan is able to keep going so strong for so long...
couldn't ask for a better show. 26+ songs in 2 sets , club was comfortable and the beers were cold. good turnout and the crowd was very into the show. sound was great thruout the evening
Ok, the term "epic" gets thrown around a lot these days. Many times, that which is called "epic" is merely cool or interesting and not very epic at all. The show Amon Amarth put on was truly epic in every sense of the word. They played two full sets and did away with an opening act. For their first set, they played their new album (Sutur Rising) in its entirety. The second set consisted of their older material. Both were amazing! Amon Amath is a fantastic death metal band who put it all out on the line for their fans. It was an epic night...one I will remember for a long, long time.
The show was great. Amon Amarth stirred the blood like no one else. The venue (Wonder Ballroom) needs to get some sound techs that know what they're doing though. Even when they were not playing the lead Viking's mic was distorted and warbly. Other than that I was totally great. But I love this band so I may be biased.
Amazing show, 2 1/2 hours of killer metal. Sound, lighting, everything was perfect!
What a badass show! Two great sets of what we came to see. Amon Amarth giving it all they had. Great crowd who sang along to the songs and was rowdy and loud. The impromptu Happy Birthday sing along was pretty cool. Can't wait 'til they comeback. I hope Amon Amarth makes a fortune and is remembered well.
This was my first true metal show and it did not disappoint! What an amazing band!
My favorite concert to date. Small setting, but we were so freaking loud. Band played some great songs, and was pretty funny too, which was a bonus.
This concert was worthy of the gods themselves! Quite possibly one of the best shows I've been to. The energy between the crowd and the band was second to none. Two complete sets by Amon Amarth, what more could you ask for. The new album in its entirety followed by a set of their greatest hits.Amon Amarth really know how to deliver to the audience. Can't wait to see them again! Hail Odin! Hail Thor!
Band came out and did full new album of Surtur Rising. Took break and pulled off another set. Crowd and band meshed well!! Sound was excellent! No bleeding of ears after wards.
From song one they just dominated the stage and the crowd! Opening with "Twilight of the Thunder God" just set the standard of the evening right there, and they just continued with they brutal viking metal for 2,5 hours, making the crowd feeling like being in Valhalla
These guys are absolutely the real deal. Their sound is so pure and their live performance sounds EXACTLY like their albums. They put on a hell of a show, get the crowd involved by encouraging them to mosh, and played a long set that left no one hanging. I will absolutely see these guys again. There are no words to express how amazing they sound live.
the show was just incredible its been over 2 years since the last time they came to kanas and they made a show that will help me last another 3 or 4 lol incredible over 3 hours of just amon amarth just incredible first set the entire new album surtur rising and then everything the next set wooooooooot
I have been to allot of show and quite a few were amazing. Slayer preforming Reign in Blood in its entirety, King Diamond with Nile and Behemoth opening. What can I say about Amon Amarth? This was possibly the best show I have ever seen, 2 1/2+ hours of just them. If you love metal and have a chance to go before the tour is over I would highly recommend it. In fact I am trying to work out a way to get to Atlanta to see them on May 1st.
These guys put on an awesome show! Not only do they sound excellent, they give you a show to watch! I would love to see them again, and hope they come back soon!
Incredible show. The band was spot on and had tons of energy. The crowd really fed off of it and got really wild. All and all in was nothing short of amazing. I cant wait to see them again.
Amon amarth kicked ass. they played all their hits and made us all honorary vikings!!
I had not been what you would call a Death Metal fan, never was, but after getting a recommendation to listen to this band from a friend I quickly got hooked on them. I had to see them in concert and they definitely did not dissappoint at all. They sounded great and what I liked most was how interactive they were with the crowd. Would I see them again HELL Yeah!
I have been to quite a few shows, but Amon Amarth with Holy Grail and Tyr was by far the best, and definitely my favorite. They played all my favorite songs, and they get the crowd going so well. I can barely talk because I lost my voice, and my neck is so sore from head banging. The band-crowd interaction was awesome, like them leaning over and shaking hands and high fives and stuff. It was completely epic, and it blew my mind.
AMON AMARTH DID ALOT OF SONGS I DIDN'T KNOW. THEY ALL SOUNDED GOOD THOUGH. THE SINGER, I THINK TALKS TO MUCH. I THINK " VICTORIOUS MARCH " AND " BLEED FOR ANCIENT GODS " SHOULD BE A STAPLE IN THERE SET LIST. THIS WAS MY 9TH TIME SEEING THEM: SHUT UP A LITTLE BIT AND KEEP THE TWO SONGS I MENTIONED IN THE SET LIST AND WE WILL DO JUST FINE.
