Ted Lundstrom (Amon Amarth) interview
It’s Melodic Death metal month on the podcast!
If you told teenage me that someday in the future I would be doing interview with bands like Soilwork and Amon Amarth, I would never believe you then. Still can’t believe that I get to interview some of the bands that I grew up listening to.
On this episode, I spoke to Ted Lundstrom – bassist of Amon Amarth about their latest album The Great Heathen Army, out via Metal Blade Records, the writing process and even beer.
Audio version for those who prefer it.

Bjorn Strid (Soilwork) interview
This is one I won’t forget for a long time.
I’ve been a fan of Swedish melodic death metal act Soilwork for quite some time now. When I first got into metal, I went through melodic death metal phase and Soilwork one of the bands that I listened to a lot. A Predator’s Portrait was on repeat for days.
Over the past 2 decades the band has consistently released new music and their twelfth studio album, Övergivenheten (The Abandonment in English) is out this week.
I caught up with vocalist Bjorn “Speed” Strid prior to the album release to talk about it, writing for Soilwork and Night Flight Orchestra, their upcoming Australian tour and even what’s been on his playlist.
Audio version
A transcribed version of this interview will be live on The Metal Wanderlust soon.

Bandcamp Recommendations – 3rd December 2021 #BandcampFriday
Last #BandcampFriday for this year, a slightly longer list this time around.
The Danish quintet take forward their sound from JORD. One of the highlights of the year for me.
The grindcore veterans are back with a ferocious new album. It features the dual vocals of Kevin Sharp & Tomas Lindberg.
Well written brutal death metal that keeps the listener engaged throughout the 35 minutes play time. Great way to end the year for Transcending Obscurity.
Moar grindcore! This time from the Japanese grandmaster. 6 tracks of rent less aural assault.
Stunning release from the progressive masters. An album to listen to from start to end. I’ve had it on repeat for the past week.
More treasure from the Nasum vault. This is from first US tour, live at the legendary punk venue.
Gloomy 4 tracks of post metal from the Australian quartet. Perfect for this time of the year.
A sublime mix of melodic death metal and and folk metal from the UK couple.
