AMON AMARTH ARE COMING: GET EXCITE! (+ BEARD CONTEST UPDATE)

Thanks for waiting patiently for us to announce the winners of our Amon Amarth Viking Beard Contest (as if you had a choice); it’s not easy to find time to look at piddly beards when you’re busy raping and pillaging all day, but Johan has finally selected the winners. But wait! Our booty was so bountiful that we ended up with a few extra prizes to give away. Here’s how it’ll break down:

Grand prize winners: (2 total)
1 dude & 1 chick (get all the goods we listed for the contest here)

2nd Place Winners: (2 total)
1 dude and 1 chick (deluxe edition, Metal Blade lanyard/tee) *no Johan beard hair (sorry! he needs some for himself) and no signed drumhead.

5 runners up:

Everyone else that entered properly:
MB lanyard

Don’t say Metal Blade never did nothin’ for ya; we’ll have the winners announced very shortly. Meanwhile Amon Amarth kicked off their two-set “Evening With” U.S. headlining tour last week and all reports indicate that asses are being kicked with startling regularity. Check out a clip posted at No Clean Singing from the 4/17 Denver, CO show above and another, along with remaining tour dates, after the jump.
