    Amon Amarth, O’Brian’s Event Centre, Saskatoon, SK, May 13, 2016

    The Viking gimmick has always been a fun little part of heavy metal, dating back to Yngwie Malmsteen’s “I Am a Viking”, Manowar’s Into Glory Ride, Led Zeppelin’s “Immigrant Song”, and hell, all the way back to Wagner’s “Ride of the Valyries”. What metalhead doesn’t like the kind of bracing music that makes them feel…

    Amon Amarth, Sabaton, and Skeletonwitch in Thunder Bay, October 7, 2014

    Photos By Scott Hobbs The crowd for the October 7th Amon Amarth show in Thunder Bay was made up of the usual suspects. Whereas the folks who had come to see Lacuna Coil a few weeks earlier looked like an intersection of several different kinds of people and music fans, at this show there was…

  • Laika – Somnia

    Laika – Somnia

    This band have taken their monicker from the unfortunate Russian dog who became one of the first animals in space: Laika. Unusual name for a band, but no less so than Leprotic Acid Spitting Amoebas From Angola (NB: I made that name up off to the top of my head – if a band with such…

    Amon Amarth/Enslaved/Skeletonwitch @ Granada Theater, Lawrence KS, February 9, 2014

    Review by William Seay Photos by Jackson May (Amon Amarth main, Enslaved) and Jake Dodge (Amon Amarth) So I’ve decided that Amon Amarth are, in their own way, the Manowar of death metal. They’ve stuck to their formula pretty much since 1998 and it has been paying off now for easily 10 years or more. Since…

  • Bill Ward: The Hellbound Interview

    When the gods made heavy metal, it was the thunder issued from Bill Ward’s fists that set the scene, at least as equally as Tony Iommi’s lightning. You could not have had that demon birth with a lesser drummer at the helm. Mixing the satanic swing of jazz with sheer brute clobbering force, Bill Ward’s…
