Amon Amarth Comments On Australian Tour
Amon Amarth has issued the following statement about their upcoming Australian tour dates:
"A lot of people have asked us why our shows scheduled in Australia are all 18+. Unfortunately this is beyond our control and we too are just as disappointed by it. The reason behind it has to do with Australia's strict alcohol bylaws. We'd love to be able to include an all ages show but the tight schedule and long travels just make that impossible.
"There's also been questions why we not include more cities. We'd perform in every city in Australia, in every country for that matter, but please bear in mind that our shows are arranged through a booking agency. These are the shows the promoter has set up for us for this time in Australia. Hopefully we'll be able to perform in more cities next time."

Amon Amarth Announces Special Guest Appearance
Amon Amarth has issued the following statement about a special guest appearance on their November 1st tour date:
"We are excited to announce that Perttu Kivilaakso from Apocalyptica will be making a special appearance during our show in London on November 1. The idea came up when Perttu made an appearance with us during three shows in Finland, where he performed two songs with us. We thought it was such a blast having him along that we decided to extend this performance with three more songs in London. We're really looking forward to playing with Perttu again, and to treating our London audience to a special experience."

Amon Amarth Issues Tour Recap
Amon Amarth has issued the following recap of their summer festival appearances:
"Summer’s over!
"It’s been an amazing festival summer for us this year. We had shows nearly every weekend from the beginning of June till the end of August.
"We got to return to some of our favourite festivals as well as discover some new ones. Some highlights have been on home ground at Sweden Rock Festival. It’s been a real honour to see how many fans we have gotten in the last couple of years in our own backyard. We also got to play for the first time at Roskilde, a long time dream for us. Metalcamp in Slovenia has become like a summer home and the warm reception in Turkey has been overwhelming!
"One show that goes on the top list was of course the one we did at Wacken Open Air. It was the fifth time for us there, first one being 10 years ago in 1999. It’s amazing to see how much that festival has grown over the years with over 75 000 tickets sold (!!). The festival was close to hosting 100 000 people this year. Summer Breeze is another festival that we keep going back to. This year was one of the best times we’ve ever had there! The summer ended for us at Rock Area Festival, a great festival with a very nice atmosphere. It was also the last show for us in Germany for a long time. Now we’ll take a break for about a month from touring. More...

Winning the Breakthrough Metal Hammer Golden God Award is big for us, and together with all the great things that happened during the last years; high chart entries, great concert turnouts, playing in worldwide territories and opening for Slayer makes this all together totally amazing. We are out of words to describe how thankful we are. We feel really triggered to continue deliver intense shows and inspired to start working on new songs. Horns up and thanks!”
