And now for some more tour news. The Swedes Amon Amarth will return to North America this fall. This time around, the band will bring fellow Swedes Sabaton along for the ride. Additionally, Skeletonwitch will once again be opening the shows, except in New York where fans will be treated to the first ever, and exclusive North American performance by extreme metal group Vallenfyre.
In February of this year, fans in Los Angeles were treated to an exclusive appearance of the Viking ship stage set up. For this tour, New York fans will bear witness to the Viking ship spectacle at the Best Buy Theatre on October 18th.
Amon Amarth expresses their excitement: "Yes, we are coming back to North America, and this time we're doing Canada and the US together with our friends in Sabaton and Skeletonwitch! We can also announce that we'll be bring the Viking ship to the show in New York City! So get ready North America, this time we'll take no prisoners!"
* The New York City show will be part of the Decibel Magazine 10th anniversary celebrations. On October 18th, Decibel is taking Manhattan (and Brooklyn) with two exclusive concerts. First at Best Buy Theater in Times Square: Amon Amarth, Sabaton and Vallenfyre (making their first stateside appearance at this show).
