- May 28th, 2014 –
Amon Amarth, the critically-acclaimed, Billboard-charting metal act, will be re-conquering North America this fall. This time around, the band will be bringing fellow Swedes, Sabaton, along for the ride. Additionally, Skeletonwitch will once again be opening the show, except in New York where fans will be treated to the first ever, and exclusive North American performance by extreme metal supergroup Vallenfyre*. In February of this year, fans in Los Angeles were treated to an exclusive appearance of the Viking ship stage set up. For this tour, New York fans will bear witness to the Viking ship spectacle at the Best Buy Theatre on October 18. Tickets will go on sale on May 20th. Keep an eye on amonamarth.com/tour for details.

We can also announce that we’ll be bring the Viking ship to the show in New York City! So get ready North America, this time we’ll take no prisoners!”
* The New York City show will be part of the Decibel Magazine 10th anniversary celebrations which will include additional news and events to be announced soon.
