#266: Johan Hegg (Amon Amarth)

Johan Hegg of Amon Amarth is our guest this week. We discuss Amon
Amarth's new live retrospective and documentary The Pursuit of
Vikings: 25 years in the Eye of the Storm, his feelings on live
albums in general, whether it's possible to capture a band's
connection with the audience on video, the importance of Europe’s
“The Final Countdown" to the origins of Amon Amarth, the 8-bit
video game the band released and his favorite video games when he
was growing up, the influence of the recently deceased Stan Lee on
his life, and the weapon he would choose to fight with in a Viking
battle. Petar and Brandon discover the fetish-finding company
everybody needs, the couple that decided to make a baby at the
front row of a Machine Head concert, Ihsahn making us all fans of
Kanye West by explaining his appreciation for the rapper, and what
we think is the most artistic stage of a band's career. Songs: Amon
Amarth - “Raise Your Horns” (Live) Amon Amarth - “Twilight of The
Thunder Gods” (Live) Eneferens - “This Onward Reach” Learn more
