Oddly enough, Swedish metal outfit Amon Amarth hasnโ€™t been in Tampa since 2019 when it opened for what turned out to not be Slayerโ€™s farewell tour at the olโ€™ Gary.

Cannibal Corpseโ€”featuring Tampa resident and Best of the Bay-winner George Fisherโ€”was also on that bill five years ago, so donโ€™t be too shocked if a barrage of good memories lead to a jam session between the two groups this weekend. Tampa metal OG Obituary and Dallas-based metal band Frozen Soul open.

Tickets to see Amon Amarth play Yuengling Center in Tampa on Saturday, May 18 are still available and start at $33.75.
