Just in time for the holidays, FreqsTV bring you an epic episode of their Anchors To Asphalt series, featuring Amon Amarth.

In this episode, guitarist Olavi Mikkonen and bassist Ted Lundström discuss the victory of touring, the passion of metal fans, the importance of visual storytelling in their shows and the sacrifices they make to the gods of metal.

Amon Amarth has a long history with Metal Blade Records, that goes back to 1998 when they released their debut album, Once Sent From The Golden Hall. After almost 20 years, it's now time for a vinyl reissue of this album, as well as 1999's The Avenger, as part of the Metal Blade Originals-Series! Both albums will be released with 400g heavy cardboard spine sleeves (inside out print), 60x60cm two-sided artwork posters and 250g inserts.
