Hey, is anyone going to the Amon Amarth concert at Volkshaus on this Sunday?
I was also wondering, do you think I'd be allowed to take a pocket digital camera with???

Not going to this one...I've seen them a few times and found them somewhat lackluster live.

Enjoy the show - hope they put on a good one! And nice to see another metalhead 'round these parts

Really, lackluster? Hmmm, well I'm sure to me it'll be awesome. I've never been to a concert before.

Oh dear...yes, you'll come from a completely different perspective. I'm a bit old and jaded.

Have a great time!!

(and if the singer's beard is still as long as it was before, don't let yourself become transfixed by how it moves - or not - when he sings, heh...)

First time at a concert, Amon Amarth will be a lot of fun. They are very popular. And of course there will be loud, distorted guitars and grunting like a dog singing, which are both great.

I don't quite understand why Amarth are so popular, as there are dozens of more interesting death metal bands around. I think it's because not only do they sing about Vikings, they look like Vikings.

I see a lot of people taking pictures at such gigs - usually with their phones. I don't think you'd have a problem with a small camera, but don't quote me on that!

Have fun!

I put it down to their music and image. Their image goes great with the theme and mythology they sing about, their music generally feels "strengthening" like you can take on the world. Vocals are not too distorted so you can't understand but growled enough to be really metal. Plus they do that synchronized hair spin which is both corny funny and awesome! Behind Rammstein my favourite band!!!

So, how was it?!

Not as good as Nile will be tomorrow night in Pratteln (Basel) I trust.

Heh, Nile does do a much better show than Amon Amarth, definitely

Damn I'm sorry I missed this. Anybody else in the same genre coming that you know of?
Kinda new here

evilshell · #11 19.12.2009, 02:24

There's a couple of death metal acts coming in to Z-7 (shudder, not my favorite place) just outside Basel.
