Amon Amarth: Former Drummer Fredrik Andersson Calls “Backstabbing” Ex-Bandmates “Greedy”

Drummer Fredrick Andersson was fired from Amon Amarth back in 2015. But if you think after almost five years he’s made his peace with his former bandmates, well… he, like, hasn’t.

Says the drummer in a new Instagram post:

“If [Amon Amarth] would have let me keep my share of the rights I would’ve gotten around $15000/year. Now instead they get that divided between them.

“So, god jul @amonamarth@amonjohan@amonted@amonsoderberg#olavimikkonen enjoy your millions and your ‘victory’. Hope it’s worth unfriending a colleague for 17 years. #ripoff#greedy#backstabbing#unfriend“

Of course, there’s two sides to every story, and it’s a safe guess that the members of Amon Amarth would argue it’s not so much that they didn’t “let” Andersson keep his share of the rights so much as he wasn’t “entitled” to any of the rights. But regardless of who did what to do, the moral of the story, really, is “Have a good lawyer.”
