Amon Amarth: 'The Crusher' reissue

After re-releasing the first two albums in the band's career - 'Once Sent from the Golden Hall' and 'The Avenger' - earlier in the year, Amon Amarth are ready to unleash the third beast in the re-issue series. The deluxe re-issue of 'The Crusher' will see the light of day on August 29th / September 1st in Europe.

'The Crusher' will be released again as a double-popup-digipak featuring two discs. Disc one features the entire 'The Crusher' album remastered by Jens Bogren plus the bonus track 'The Eyes of Horror' which is a cover song of the mighty Possessed.

Disc two features the live recording of the show Amon Amarth played on December 30, 2008 in Bochum, Germany where they played the album in its entirety. The order of songs is the same as on disc one (excluding 'The Eyes of Horror'). This re-issue will be released as an eight-sided double-digipak with an individual pop-up. All four pop-ups attached to each other show a special three-dimensional pic. The reissue also features liner notes by Amon Amarth.
