About.com: Heavy Metal's Chad Bowar has issued an interview with AMON AMARTH vocalist Johan Hegg. The following is an excerpt:
Q: What tours do you having coming up?
A: "We’re heading out next week on a headlining tour in the United States to support the album. We start in Anaheim, California on the second of October and finish in Springfield, Virginia on the 21st. Then we have a tour coming up in Europe. We’re supporting SLAYER on the Unholy Alliance tour, which I’m sure is going to be a great show. We’re really looking forward to that. Slayer are legends, and it is a great opportunity for us to be playing with them."
Q: Do you have any concerns about Slayer’s crowd, which has known to be a bit rough on opening acts?
A: "If we didn’t believe that we could contribute to this tour, we wouldn’t be on the tour. We wouldn’t have said yes. We’re confident that we have something to bring to the package, and I think that it’s a great opportunity to present our stuff to a wider audience. If anything, I think our music may suit the tour package a bit better than TRIVIUM and MASTODON, but that’s speculating. You never know what’s going to happen. I think it’s a great bill and we’ll have a good tour with Slayer and those guys."
