Amon Amarth — Cry Of The Black Birds
My new favorite band of all time coming to Baltimore 26 April. Swiss, they are crazy about their work ethic. From their official biography:
[G]uitarist Olavi Mikkonen confirms: “We nailed down all ideas we had from the past year and we rehearsed 5 days a week, 9 to 5 [which is fucking huge considering they are Europeans]. At the end of the month we had finished a 5 song demo.” After a two-month break, the band returned to write the rest of the material: “We started up where we had left off and began working on all new ideas we had. Again 5 days a week, 9 to 5. This time around we had 4 new songs and the album was written. We had never written an album under these intense circumstances, but we found out that this was totally right for us.” The new masterpiece “With Oden On Our Side” was born.
