There probably isn't a band in metal that has received as huge a popularity boost in recent years as Sweden's favorite vikings AMON AMARTH. Want proof? Successful headlining tours of Europe and appearances in the top positions of festivals such as Summer Breeze, Wacken Open Air and PartySan. Furthermore, their last album "Fate Of Norns" climbed to an unbelievable position 31 in the German Media Control Charts, while reaching position 56 in Austria and landing 7th in the metal charts and 77th in the album charts in their home country. The follow-up to "Fate Of Norns", which is due out in autumn, is expected to be another step up the popularity ladder. In order to make the fans' unbearable wait a bit shorter, late April will see the first ever DVD release by AMON AMARTH, which extensively documents the band's triumphant rise during the last few years,. Entitled "Wrath Of The Norsemen", the 3 disc set comes in a deluxe 10-page, gold-laminated digipack, giving a new meaning to the expression "value for money". Main piece of the box is a concert filmed last August at Cologne's Live Music Hall, which went down in history as the longest show AMON AMARTH have ever played, with 23 songs altogether. Included is some serious viking battle action, tons of pyros and behind-the-scenes footage shot around the Cologne show. Discs 2 and 3 feature professionally filmed shows from Summer Breeze 2005, the Metal Blade Rrroooaaarrr 2005 (with a very special set list!), Wacken Open Air 2004, and the record release show for "Fate Of Norns", which took place in a sold-out Rockfabrik Ludwigsburg, also in 2004. Beware the "Wrath Of The Norsemen"!
