Amon Amarth - Bloodshed Over Bochum, Album Title Revealed


Amon Amarth have posted following statement:

''We have had plans of doing a smaller club show tour for quite some time now where we would mainly play older songs, but that has been very hard to pull off. So when this idea was brought to us of re-visiting the 4 first full lenght albums at Bochum in Germany we were all up for it. This will be a once in a life time chance for us to play and our fans to experience all the old songs that we don't have room for in the setlist anymore, but are still too good to not play! Of course we'll also play songs from the new upcoming album, as well as "With Oden On Our Side" and "Fate Of Norns".
Since these shows will be unique we thought we could might as well record the shows too!

We are thrilled over this event and look forward to the shows. It will be some hard work and preparation playing around 50 -60 different songs in 4 days. Some songs we haven't played for a very, very long time and some we have never played live at all. But challenges are something that encourages us!''

Hm, i'm surprised Warman hasn't yet said something like "ooh this band is not that good, i don't know what you see in them, i used to listen to them but now i listen to REAL bands!"

On a serious note, i really wish i could attend these shows but... Oh well, hopefully they'll keep their promise en record the shows en release a dvd or something.
'Can't wait for the new album!

I really wish with all my heart they don't screw it up .. like In flames !!

i'd like this new album '' Twilight Of The Thundergod '' to be better than '' with oden on our side '' ... although it's hard to make an album as good as '' with oden on our side '' ...

wish u the best of luck

Hahaha, funny!
But those last words have I never said, I do respect Amon Amarth but find their new albums boring. Haha, if I said "real bands" i would probably be banned since I'm a Metallica and Cradle of Filth fanboy.
