Amon Amarth about to hit the stage at the 2017 Gefle Metal Festival<\/p><\/div>\n

@AmonAmarthBand #JOMSVIKING #geflemetalfestival #geflemetal<\/p>\n

A little over nine years after seeing Amon Amarth<\/a> for the first time, in Sweden<\/a>, I was fortunate to see them again. They put on a bigger and better performance every time I go to one of their shows. It’s safe to say that the crowd was larger and more into Amon Amarth than for anyone else at this year’s Gefle Metal Festival.<\/p>\n

Coincidentally, I was staying at an Airbnb in Gavle and someone formerly affiliated with the band happened to be staying there too. This person offered me a ride back to Stockholm after the festival. On that car ride south to Stockholm we passed a car with a Negative Self bumper sticker on it. That reminded me that I met a couple of guys at the festival (in bandanas in the front row for Testament<\/a>) who said they were big fans of Negative Self and who encouraged me to check them out. I emailed them to see if it was them we passed and it was! A small world indeed.<\/p>\n
