AMON AMARTH: Madrid Concert Cancelled

October 10, 2007

Swedish metallers AMON AMARTH have been forced to cancel tonight's concert in Madrid, Spain with DIMMU BORGIR and ENGEL. According to a press release, "the band's bus broke down so that they won't be able to make it to the venue in time!"

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.
