A 34-year-old man was stabbed last night shortly after leaving an AMON AMARTH<\/strong> show in Edmonton. The victim was transported to a local hospital where he died from his injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to police<\/a>, the victim was involved in an “altercation” outside the Edmonton Convention Centre, where Amon Amarth had performed along with Arch Enemy, At The Gates, and Grand Magus, which resulted in an apparent stabbing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bystanders detained the suspect until police arrived. The 36-year-old male was subsequently arrested, though specific charges have yet to be disclosed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An autopsy is scheduled for Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heavy metal isn’t just music: it’s a \nway of life. No current band embodies the spirit of metal’s immersive \nculture with more fervour and might than Amon Amarth<\/strong>: Sweden’s celebrated Viking overlords and undisputed modern masters of epic heavy metal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, Amon Amarth<\/strong> stand tall and unassailable: over 25 years into a career that has seen them evolve from humble origins in the dark, dank rehearsal rooms of their native Tumba to their current status as explosive festival headliners and one of the metal world’s most widely adored bands. Their most recent album, 2015’s Jomsviking<\/em><\/strong>, hit the #1 spot in Germany’s official album chart and swiftly became their most successful worldwide release to date. As a result, Amon Amarth<\/strong> are very much at the height of their powers as they prepare to return to action in 2019, with their biggest, boldest and most bombastic musical statement to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Formed in 1992, Amon Amarth<\/strong> \nbecame modern metal greats the hard way. Ruthlessly dedicated to \ncreating new music and taking it out on the road, the Swedes steadily \nbuilt a formidable reputation as a ferocious live band and, as the years\n passed, were increasingly recognised for their recorded achievements \ntoo. Since the dawn of the millennium, Amon Amarth<\/strong> have been unstoppable. Breakthrough releases like 2006’s With Oden On Our Side<\/em><\/strong> and its now legendary follow-up, 2008’s Twilight Of The Thunder God<\/em><\/strong>,\n further cemented their popularity throughout the metal world, while the\n band’s stage show evolved with each successive tour, transforming into \none of modern metal’s truly great spectacles. All of this and more has \nbeen captured in the band’s recent live DVD and documentary, The Pursuit Of Vikings: 25 Years In The Eye Of The Storm<\/em><\/strong>, which put a stylish seal on one of modern music’s most unlikely success stories.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
