As of March 25th 2009 the Swedish band, Amon Amarth, confired their upcoming concert in Costa Rica. The band is to play May 16th 2009 at The City in San Jose. The concert is set to begin at 8pm. This concert is part of their new tour Twilight of the Thunder God, and they are coming to Costa Rica thanks to Black Line. This will also be the first time that Costa Rica plays host to this famous Euro band. Costa Rica is becoming a popular choice for metal bands as large acts such as Iron Maiden continue to book live shows here.
Amon Amarth is the biggest Viking Metal Band of the moment and this should be an excellent show for all metal heads. Amon Amarth base’s their music on Norse Mythology and pre-Christian times. The bands lead singer Johan Hegg made the following comment during an interview with The Metal Web
“ We play death metal. We write about vikings so, therefore, some refer us to viking metal, but I have no idea what that is. I can’t imagine the viking’s [sic] veer into metal at all except on the swords and stuff. And musically, I guess they only played these strange lip instruments and some bongos or whatever. „

Tickets for the show can be purchased at New Order Tattoo in Heredia, Legacy, Tattoo Black Line in Tibas, Manchester in San Ramon, Disco Cisma in Alajuela and Librera Rojas in Cartago. Ticket prices are 14 000 colones before May 1st , 15 000 colones up to May 15th and 18 000 colones the day of the show. There will also be VIP tickets are available for 30 000.

If you truly love metal then this is a concert that you won’t want to miss. It is sure to be a spectacular event here in Costa Rica. Metal 4ever from Costa Rica’s biggest metal head!
