Amon Amarth NEW song and Tour details!
Sweden's Heavy Metal vikings Amon Amarth are making plenty of noise lately, and this is over a month before the release of their heavily anticipated NEW album "Surtur Rising" (hitting the Metal world on March 29th)! Just imagine how much noise will be made by Amon Amorth and their fans, once they release the new album and go on a Worldwide tour.
