MetalSucks Launches the AMON AMARTH Viking Beard Contest

Our friends at MetalSucks have launched the Official Amon Amarth Viking Beard Contest! Here are the rules:

For men:
Step 1) Send MetalSucks a completely clean-shaven picture of yourself NOW — before Tuesday, January 11th at 11:59pm EST — holding up a sign that says “MetalSucks” and the date. Send all entries to news [at] metalsucks [dot] net with the subject “AMON AMARTH Viking Beard Contest.”

Step 2) Grow a beard.

Step 3) On March 29th, the day Surtur Rising is released, send team MetalSucks a new picture of yourself… same deal: Hold up a sign with “MetalSucks” and the date, only this time you’ll also need to write a secret passcode on your sign that will be revealed on MetalSucks on March 29th.

For women:
The same as above, but for your armpits or leg hair! MetalSucks will be choosing one male winner and one female winner, both with an identical prize pack, so the playing field is equal for everyone.

Prize packs include: A lock from Johan Hegg’s beard, the “super duper fan edition” of Surtur Rising (of which only a limited number will be made), a drumhead signed by the whole band and more!

For more information about Surtur Rising and Amon Amarth, you can visit the band's official website or MySpace.
