The almighty AMON AMARTH’s latest studio album was released a few days ago. This is their first album without longtime drummer Freidrik Anderssen in something like 17 years- since Once Sent From the Golden Hall, I think. I’m about halfway through the album...

Here’s an interesting riddle: what happens when you take a Swiss former law school student, the keyboardist/vocalist for Scottish pirate metal band ALESTORM, and three other highly talented but clearly batshit-insane musicians, and lock them all in a big house...
