AMON AMARTH have announced a six-date tour of the UK and Ireland, including English, Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish dates, along with confirmation of a Hammerfest appearance.

Unfortunately time restrictions meant Amon Amarth couldn't bring their ongoing tour with AS I LAY DYING and SEPTIC FLELSH, which just stopped off recently in London to all corners of the UK but the band haven't forgotten their fans and wanted to get back to the North, South, East and West.

Frontman Johan Hegg comments: "We're excited to be coming back to the UK and Ireland with a proper headlining show. We've been looking forward to this since our support tour (with CHILDREN OF BODOM) in April, and it feels great that it is finally happening!"
