Japanese pressings are a collection of their own: each one comes with its obi strip, the paper band wrapped around the case, and often with a little extra for Japanese fans. My Twilight of the Thunder God includes a bonus DVD recorded live at Summer Breeze 2007, and Surtur Rising features a bonus Kiss cover, War Machine. Sadly, Amon Amarth were never released on vinyl in Japan. A full-size obi on an LP would have looked great!
Over the years, Amon Amarth's Japanese releases moved from Metal Blade Japan to Howling Bull, Sony Music and Victor, which makes tracking them down a fun challenge. Many of my Japanese copies are promos, most of them found by my husband, the expert of Japanese hunting in this house!
