AMON AMARTH Checks In From The Road

November 27, 2007

Swedish metallers AMON AMARTH have issued the following update:

"Our North America tour started a week ago and it's been one hell of a week. Every night, the crowd has been more than awesome. Finally we get to play a full set for our North American fans, and on our own terms.

"We've been trying out some different songs to make the 'perfect' setlist, and it feels like we got it now. The response we've got about the setlist has been surprisingly positive!

"Both HIMSA and SONIC SYNDICATE are great guys to tour with and we're happy to have them with us.

"Meet-and-greets have been very successful in the past week. We are very happy to have met many of our fans in person and to have had the chances to talk to many of them.

"We will be continuing the meet-and-greets for the rest of the tour, with the exception of the dates where we have in-store signings.

"Just a reminder, meet-and-greets will happen for thirty minutes after doors open. So get there early! At the present moment, there are two scheduled in-store signing sessions. Any more in-store signing sessions will be announced as soon as we get the information."

Signing sessions are as follows:

Dec. 02 - Relapse Records Store - Philadelphia, PA
Dec. 14 - Scrape Records - Vancouver, BC

AMON AMARTH's "Wrath of the Norsemen" DVD was recently certified gold in the U.S. for sales of around 16,000 copies (due to the fact that the set consists of three discs; gold certification for a single-disc release is 50,000 copies).

Released in June 2006, "Wrath of the Norsemen" DVD entered the Swedish Music DVD chart at position No. 2. A three-disc set, it was released in a deluxe 10-page digipack with special gold-laminated slipcase. The main body of the DVD is the Cologne show from 2005 — filmed with 11 cameras, this was the longest show AMON AMARTH have ever played (23 songs!). Bonus footage includes interviews, behind-the-scenes of the DVD recording and other stuff filmed around the Cologne show. Discs 2 and 3 feature professionally filmed shows from Summer Breeze 2005, the Metal Blade Rrroooaaarrr 2005 (a show with a really unusual setlist!),Wacken Open Air 2004 and the release show for "Fate of Norns" in Ludwigsburg (Germany) in 2004.
