Swedish death metallers AMON AMARTH will celebrate their 20th anniversary with five special shows which will take place this August in Germany, Poland and Holland. The band states, "We will perform two whole sets containing songs from our entire career and we will also arrange a meet-and-greet on all shows."

"An Evening With - 20th Anniversary Shows" will include the following dates:

05/08/12 - DE - Chemnitz Südbahnhof
07/08/12 - PL - Warsaw Progresja Club
14/08/12 - DE - Saarbrücken Garage
16/08/12 - NL - Utrecht Tivoli
17/08/12 - DE - Hamburg Markthalle

Released in March 2011 via Metal Blade Records, Surtur Rising is AMON AMARTH's eighth studio offering in a winding discography that's helped shape the very face of epic, Viking-inspired death metal. Named in tribute to Surtur, leader of the fire giants of Muspelheim ("flame land") and the oldest being in the nine worlds of Norse mythology, the record was recorded, mixed and mastered at Fascination Street Studios Örebro, Sweden with Jens Bogren and bears the striking cover art by Tom Thiel.
