Amon Amarth dedicated their gig at the Koko in Camden to Evile as a memorial to Mike.
It was very moving as the entire place, packed to the hilt, chanted Evile's name during the dedication, lead by an equally moved Johan Hegg.
As everybody knew, it was their tour too and they should have been there.
Amon and Entombed played great shows and with a guest appearance by Perttu Kivilaasko of Apocalyptica joining the headliners for five songs, it was very memorable, and totally mental night!
