AMON AMARTH: 'We Still Have The Gods On Our Side!'

May 19, 2006

Swedish Viking death metal heroes AMON AMARTH have entered Fascination Street studios in Örebro, Sweden to begin recording their sixth full-length album. The band will record all through May until June 14 with producer Jens Bogren. The as-yet-untitled CD is scheduled for release in September via Metal Blade Records.

Commented the band in a posting on their web site: "We have not been able to update this report for the last couple of days since our site been down, however we have not been unproductive. Today [Thursday, May 18] Olavi and Johan S. finished the rhythm guitars on all songs and nothing has been left out in our pursuit of perfection for this record. We can also announce that the new album is going to contain nine powerful metal songs and it's no exaggeration saying that we have outdone ourselves! This will give us another good reason to have some extra beers tonight. Tomorrow we start to search for the ultimate bass sound for Ted, so he can start putting down the bass lines. We still have the Gods on our side!"

As previously reported, Metal Blade Records have once again been forced to postpone the release date of the AMON AMARTH DVD, "Wrath of the Norsemen" — this time to May 29 (May 26 in Germany, Austria, Switzerland) from the previously announced May 15 — due to "technical reasons." The three-disc set will be released in a deluxe 10-page digipack with special gold-laminated slipcase. The main body of the DVD is the Cologne show from last year — 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.
