Amon Amarth - US Headlining Tour Dates
Melodic death metal tyrants Amon Amarth are proud to announce their 2011 US headlining tour.
Simply dubbed An Evening With Amon Amarth, this very special trek will find the band touring without support and instead performing two separate sets each night! One set will feature upcoming album Surtur Rising in its entirety.
The Viking-inspired festivities will commence on April 14th in Chicago, Illinois and pillage its way through 17 cities throughout the country before drawing to a climactic close on May 7 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Tickets are on sale now through all local ticket outlets.
Elaborated drummer Fredrik Andersson: "We're really excited about the upcoming album, Surtur Rising. And what better way to showcase it by playing the full album on our first U.S. tour for Surtur Rising?! It's definitely a unique opportunity for our fans because not only will the album be performed live but a second set with material from our previous albums will take place. We want our fans to really experience Amon Amarth."

Turisas - First DVD Details Revealed
Turisas vocalist Warlord Nygard writes:
"The summer was very busy - after having got used to spending our summers at festivals around Europe for years, we faced an exciting change as this summer with most of the festival shows taking place in our home country Finland. The whole summer was caught on film and the result is our new DVD: the festival performances, the behind the scenes material, and also some interviews and other summer activities around Finland.
We also made a re-recording of the track "Battle Metal" and did a video clip to it based on material our fans had sent us. If you want, you can keep on sending us links to what ever material you come up with and we'll put them up on our site. Or if you want to send us something by snail mail, you can find the postal address on our site.
The brilliant new video for "Battle Metal 2008" has been launched now, HERE. It is high time to finally have an official video-clip for this battle hymn which is also a tribute to the band's dedicated fans (without whom there is obviously no such thing as a crowd favourite)."
The audio version of "Battle Metal 2008" will only be available on the limited edition of Turisas' first ever DVD release "A Finnish Summer With Turisas", which will be
released on the following dates:
Germany / Austria / Switzerland / Benelux / Italy: Friday, October 31, 2008.
UK / FR / GRE / DK / NOR / Rest of Europe: Monday, November 3, 2008.
Spain / Portugal: Tuesday, November 4, 2008.
SWE / FIN / Hungary: Wednesday, November 5, 2008.
N. America: Tuesday, November 25, 2008.
Cover of the DVD can be found here. Details on the specific formats will be disclosed soon as well as a stunning DVD trailer!
