We can’t get enough of scary Scando mob Amon Amarth and it seems the whole of Europe is the same.

With hit album Surtur Rising re-establishing the band  as major players on the metal scene demand for Johann Hegg and his hard-hitting buddies has never been higher.

And Amon Amarth have responded by announcing a huge new headline tour set for the autumn. The downside? Just one UK date in London.

The band has just finished their successful first European tour and are about to return to North America in August for their second headline tour in support of Surtur Rising – the biggest album in Amon Amarth’s history!

The new European tour kicks off October 12 in Stuttgart, Germany and ends 45 days later on November 26 in Prague, Czech Republic.

Direct support will be none less than label mates As I Lay Dying who released their highly successful album The Powerless Rise in 2010!
