Amon Amarth have announced that they will enter Fascination Street Studios in Sweden tomorrow (May 1st) to begin recording the bands seventh studio album.
The band said "We have 10 killer songs, some classic Amon Amarth tunes, some really
epic moments and some of the most brutal stuff we've ever written! We
are confident that this will be our best and most diverse album to date!
"Jens Bogren will be producing the album, he produced With Oden On Our
Side. We're looking forward to yet another successful collaboration.
"We'll
barricade ourselves for the next month and a half. The album will be
recorded in the traditional way, starting with drums, followed by
guitars, bass, and vocals.
"There are plans for some cool guest appearance but nothing we can reveal just yet.
"We
will try our best to keep you updated with vlogs, photos and a studio
diary. Provided that we can tear ourselves away from the PS3, wii and
of course... a healthy serving of Swedish vodka."
The band have also announced dates in the UK this summer, including a performance at the Download Festival.
"We're
pleased to announce that we'll be appearing for the first time at this
year's Download festival. We are scheduled to play second stage on
Saturday, June 14th.
"Since we're already on Brittish soil,
we figure that we might as well do some further pillaging. We will be
making an appearance at Metal Hammer's Golden Gods Award show on June
16."

14.06 Download Festival (UK) - LONDON
16.06 Metal Hammer Golden Awards (UK) - LONDON
