	ENSLAVED OFFER MORE DETAILS ON VISIT TO NORWEGIAN EMBASSY + HOLE IN THE SKY FESTIVAL	155 dni temu
	Guitarist/songwriter Ivar Bjornson offers a more details on the band’s visit to the Norwegian Embassy in Washington D.C. on May 27th, the day of the last show on their North American tour with Opeth in support of their Billboard-charting album, Vertebrae: “We were very excited about visiting the Norwegian Embassy in Washington D.C. and were heartily welcomed by Ambassador Wegger Chr. Strommen and a large group from the Embassy staff. We were invited to talk about the band’s history, our own efforts in the American music market, and in more general terms about the export of Norwegian music; Metal in particular. The staff’s questions were updated and detailed; it turned out to be a very interesting and fruitful conversation. Later that night, a group of five staff members came to the concert – we know this for a fact, as shouts of ‘Go Norway!’ came from the VIP-section when Grutle [Kjellson, vocalist/bassist] told the audience about the visit from the Embassy. We hope we get to meet them again, and that other foreign stations take on the challenge to get as involved in Norwegian culture abroad as the Norwegians in Washington D.C.” In response to the questions posed online about why Bjornson and Kjellson were looking skyward while at the Embassy: “They were looking up to the balcony as people came out from their offices to check out the ‘death metal’ guys.” The video for "The Watcher" – directed by Norwegian Grammy Award winner Patric Ullaeus (Dimmu Borgir, Keep Of Kalessin, In Flames) – is available here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGOHk...

Bergen Metal Fest X) — which is scheduled to take place August 25-29 in Bergen, Norway — have issued the following update: "Hole In The Sky X is closing in fast. We give you the lowdown of the spectacular anniversary concert that is set to close the Friday night proceedings. Hosted by the mighty ENSLAVED. "Formed in the heydays of the Norwegian extreme metal scene, ENSLAVED has been a constant and pioneering force for 18 years. "Their history can be divided into three phases: 1. The early years 1991-1996: closest to the black metal scene, from the EP Hordanes Land to the second album Frost. 2. Middle years 1997-2002: experimental and extremely varied, from third LP Eld to Monumension. 3. Present ENSLAVED 2003-present: a synthesis of the roots and the new elements; ENSLAVED has created a sound and a scene of its own, from Below the Lights to Vertebrae. "The 'A Blaze in the Northern Sky' show will reflect these periods and will have the following setup: PART ONE: Present ENSLAVED - The band will be presenting a cross section of songs from Below The Lights, Isa, Ruun and Vertebrae. PART TWO: Hordanes Land - For the first time in history, the legendary Hordanes Land EP (also released as a split CD with EMPEROR) will be performed in its entirety — with EMPEROR members Samoth (guitar) and Trym (drums), who also played drums for ENSLAVED in this period, as guest musicians. PART THREE: Roots - This final part will feature ENSLAVED performing songs from the formative period, in other words, their influences in the early '90s — featuring the frontmen from the original bands as guest vocalists: L.G. from ENTOMBED, Attila from MAYHEM, and the man himself, Nocturno Culto from DARKTHRONE. Nocturno will also be performing on a world premiere of an exclusive ENSLAVED song written specially for the occasion of celebrating ENSLAVED's extreme roots. This song will be the A-side of a 7" EP strictly limited to 500 copies to be released after the performance; more news on this will follow. The show will be concluded with a grandiose surprise song where all the aforementioned singers will team up with ENSLAVED and ex-EMPEROR drummer Faust to make sure this goes down in history in flames." Commented ENSLAVED's Grutle Kjellson: "This is going to be a night to remember. We are sharing the stage with some artists of great importance to the creation of extreme metal, some people that really made the difference and last but not least; some of our greatest friends. We are deeply honored. And, to fans of the greatest metal festival in the world; let's together give Hole In The Sky the 10th birthday party they deserve." _______________________________________ Now available at the Nuclear Blast America Web Shop (http://store.nuclearblastusa.com/Art... and Nuclear Blast Europe Web Shop (http://www.nuclearblast.de/showShopS..., purchase the limited editions of Vertebrae!
