AMON AMARTH BRING THEIR VIKING CRUSADE TO THE UK & IRELAND THIS AUTUMN<\/strong><\/p>\n

Swedish heavy metal Vikings AMON AMARTH have confirmed their return to UK & Irish shores this Autumn, in support of their brilliant new album, \u2018Jomsviking\u2019.<\/p>\n

Amon Amarth\u2019s tenth studio album, \u2018Jomsviking\u2019 was released in March via Sony. The record immediately crashed into the UK Top 30, marking the band\u2019s highest ever chart position here; a feat repeated around the globe.<\/p>\n

Joining them as special guests, will be Bay Area thrash legends TESTAMENT. With the follow-up to their 2012 album \u2018Dark Roots Of Earth\u2019 due out through Nuclear Blast later this year, expect to hear some new songs as well as some older classics.<\/p>\n

Also a part of AMON AMARTH\u2019s crusade are fellow Swedish marauders GRAND MAGUS, showcasing their latest album \u2018Sword Songs\u2019, released to great acclaim last month.<\/p>\n
