AMON AMARTH Added to Unholy Alliance Tour in U.K.

Swedish Viking-Metal heroes AMON AMARTH have been added to the bill of the METAL HAMMER sponsored UNHOLY ALLIANCE TOUR CHAPTER III. Already boasting an impressive line up of SLAYER, TRIVIUM and MASTODON, the addition of AMON AMARTH solidifies UAIII’s title as “the heaviest, darkest tour of the year”.

Says AMON AMARTH Frontman Johan Hegg:

“All of us have been huge fans of Slayer since the mid 80’s, and to be able
to tour with this legendary thrash band is a dream come true. We are very
proud and honored to be a part of this year’s Unholy Alliance together with
Trivium and Mastodon.

Slayer fans are die-hard and tough as true Vikings – we know as we are part
of the same crowd – and it will be a great experience to be able to play in
front of them.”

The UNHOLY ALLIANCE III featuring SLAYER, TRIVIUM, MASTODON & AMON AMARTH:

AMON AMARTH will release their new, as yet untitled, album on Metal Blade on September 22, 2008.
