Ben Corkhill - Hailing from the land of West Yorkshire, though my blood is a mix of West Country and Scouse, and take pride in both my lineage and my home land! I am the founder and sole member of OAKENSHIELD (listen to it). As you can see from my photo I like to take the piss a lot especially out of myself, and enjoy extreme political incorrectness in the company of friends. I enjoy fine ales and also some lager e.g. Carlsberg. Support Liverpool FC and veggies/hippies are crap! GIVE ME STEAK
Who I'd like to meet: Good people, especially musicians and people from Middle Earth (who do exist)
Everyone from my heroes list and Odin, Treebeard, Tom Bombadil and a merry host of Elves
R.I.P. Thomas Forsberg aka Quorthon J.R.R. Tolkien Dimebag Steve Irwin Tupac Shakur Michael Kamen Boromir

Yes man! They are really great live! I saw them in Mexico City, in a place called Circo Volador (Flying Circus); originally Celtic Frost were headlining but they cancelled two days before, so Amon Amarth was left headlining! It was incredible man! And fucking Johan is huge!!!
Man! I just saw Amon Amarth live!!!!!! I can't speak and turn around in any direction, but I saw them!!!! IT was fucking incredible! Anyway, hope everything is going alright
