The Berserker Tour featuring Amon Amarth, Arch Enemy, At the Gates and Grand Magus
Amon Amarth recently came to The Tabernacle in Atlanta to make a stop for their Berserker tour. Along with them they brought metal legends Arch Enemy, At the Gates, and even Grand Magus.
Due to some unforseen circumstances, ConcertHopper missed Grand Magus and At the Gates, but we were on hand for Arch Enemy and Amon Amarth. What follows is our summary of the show.
Arch Enemy, fronted by their powerful vocalist Alissa White-Gluz, was the first to take the stage once ConcertHopper had arrived and they did not disappoint. They worked their way through the bands impressive catalog of metal hits, as well as new material, all while Alissa (with her bat-winged leather attire) wowed the crowd with her vocal prowess.
Amon Amarth, the headliner, took the stage next. They were shrouded, at first, behind their giant kabuki. Once the curtain fell, the crowd was treated to an enormous Viking helmet with LED screens in the eyes which displayed graphics throughout the show. Accompanying the band’s songs of battle and glory was also an appearance by a figure dressed as the Norse god Loki, who waved his spear ominously as he strode across the stage. The venue was at a fever pitch throughout the show and it did not disappoint, neither in musical energy or in theatrics.
Unfortunately, the tour is winding down with just two more dates left:
10/25 – San Francisco, CA @ The Warfield
10/26 – Los Angeles, CA @ The Palladium
If you happen to live in either of those cities or close enough to make the trip, you won’t be disappointed.
