Mpls: Dethklok & Amon Amarth at Armory (April 24, 2026)
April 24 @ 6:00 pm
Dethklok & Amon Amarth at Armory (April 24, 2026)
Dethklok and Amon Amarth are co-headlining the massive Armory, in Minneapolis, this April 24, 2026.
Dethklok
We caught Dethklok in Sep 2023 and wrote, “Next up was co-headliner Dethklok. Like Gorillaz, Dethklok is a fictional animated band. Originally appearing on the Metalocalypse cartoon show (on Adult Swim). All the music created for Metalocalypse was created by Brendon Small, and they released his music in the debut album The Dethalbum (as Dethklok) in 2007. Now in 2023, they have a fourth album, Dethalbum IV. If you’re wondering why it took so long for the new album (an 11 year absent since Dethalbum III in 2012), it’s because it has partially due to the copyright ownership of the Dethklok name by Adult Swim. They must have come to a mutual agreement, because Dethklok is back, and stronger than ever, based on seeing the response from the audience.”
Also worth noting is that Castle Rat will open. We’re very in love with the band, having seen them in and said, “Headlining was Castle Rat, delivering a powerful blend of Doom Metal, fantasy storytelling, and… sword fighting! Did I mention they’re theatrical? On lead vocals and rhythm guitar is the Rat Queen and all-around renaissance woman herself, Riley Pinkerton, backed by a band of fantasy characters: The Count (Franco Vittore, lead guitar/backing vocals), The Plague Doctor (Charley Ruddel, bass), The Druid (Josh Strmic, drums), and the Rat Reapress—not a musician, but a performer and antagonist to our heroic musicians (Rebecca Corrigan). Nostalgic clean vocals, Sabbath worthy bass lines, all the riffs you could want, gripping guitar solos, and a maniac of a drummer that I still won’t stop talking about… that’s a recipe for success on its own. Now add in a story line woven through the albums and into the stage show and a call to action for the crowd to assist the band in saving The Realm… the crowd went insane for this band.”
