Amon Amarth frontman Johan Hegg has described his ideal post-victory Viking feast.
And asked what he’d have for his dream post-fight meal, Hegg says: “Wild boar. There is a place where I buy boar meat that actually has been hunted, but not by me.
“It’s always absolutely fantastic and super nice to barbecue. It’s beautiful, a great meat. So boar would be a good choice. And I would drink large quantities of quality beer. Obviously.”
While he has a taste for wild boar, Hegg couldn’t bring himself to hunt it himself.
He adds: I wouldn’t say hunting appeals to me. Apart from fishing, I’ve never really done it. Fishing is very Viking indeed!
“It’s a good hobby, but a lot of people overdo it. If you want to have dinner, catch a fish. But to catch a fish and release it back into the water seems kinda dumb to me.”
Issue 289 of Metal Hammer hits the streets tomorrow (October 14) and is available now via TeamRock+.
Amon Amarth recently confirmed drummer Jocke Wallgren as a permanent member of the band. They begin a European tour later this month.
