If You Want To See A Viking Ship...

From my inbox. For fans of Amon Amarth - not Glam but really, really metal. This sounds honestly amazing:

The Viking Ship is coming to Chicago Open Air. When Swedish metal band Amon Amarth takes the stage at Toyota Park in Bridgeview, Illinois on Sunday, July 16 in support of their current album, Jomsviking, attendees will be treated to a visual spectacle. The band’s full production plans include the infamous lifesize replica of a Viking ship hull and live Viking fighting! The impressive setup pays homage to the band’s Swedish roots and the Jomsvikings, a shadowy and legendary sect of Viking mercenaries.

An "infamous replica"?? Does that strike anyone else as strange? I left out the question of "lifesize" because, of course it is.

But is that the same as a "notorious reproduction," or maybe an "offensive approximation"? I guess I am just confused by the phrasing.

That said, any band that sounds like a Nordic Digestif is fine in my book . . . even if I am thinking of the movie Time Bandits and giggling while I think about this press release!
