Amon Amarth just completed an epic-level trolling of reddit and facebook to promote their new album. I fucking love these guys.

In the timeline of the band’s profile there was a photograph depicting the round face of a sunglasses-wearing, neck-bearded male with tiny teeth; here was a man who assuredly fit the profile of “basement dwelling nerd”. The rumors between the users were mostly funny comments about the face of the guy, and some of them remembered the hacking of the Lacuna Coil Twitter account, done a few weeks ago. A few hours later, another picture of said fellow was uploaded, showing his empowered battle station with multiple screens. Intriguingly, all of these posts mentioned the title of the band’s upcoming album Jomsviking, scheduled for the first half of 2016.

It's a near complete departure from their metal
I still miss Portnoy's musical style on the drums, and I wish the mix didn't bury Mangini and Myung so much. Otherwise, top notch album.
I'm not really a metalhead and some people may not take this group/phenomenon seriously....but the new Babymetal album "Metal Resistance" is insane...a few songs I can't get into, but most of it is really great.
I enjoy them in small doses. Kawaii metal!
I liked that they used Dragonforce as their backing band* at a show last year (?).
*not that their regular band is bad or anything--quite the contrary, IMO.
Whoomah!
I'm listening to Carcass right now...
New Amon Amarth kills. Been listening to it a lot. They're actually experimenting and branching out a bit, dare I say. Even have a tune with Doro doing backup vocals!
New Grand Magus is on the horizon too. My body is ready.
The new AA is on my wish list.
Taken by Michele as we drove past LAX.
LA now, soon to Australia!
Might have to go plane spotting.
