Dec. 7, 2009 -- "All right, Beijing!" screamed Johan Hegg, lead singer of the heavy metal band Amon Amarth, to an audience of die-hard fans toward the end of their set at Mao Livehouse on Dec 1. "It's time to bleed... for ancient gods!"

The band, whose music is classified in a sub-category of heavy metal music known as Viking metal, then launched into the song Bleed for Ancient Gods from their 1999 album. The five long-haired, blond Swedes clad in black and leather were then enveloped in clouds of smoke and blue light and began to head bang, their heads swirling in unison.
