We are happy to announce that IMMORTAL and AURA NOIR will play
the INFERNO FESTIVAL 2011.The legendary sons of northern darkness,
IMMORTAL and the black thrash band AURA NOIR is the first bands on
the bill for the INFERNO FESTIVAL 2011
IMMORTAL - All Shall Fall!
Immortal has been one of the most important black
metal bands in the world, since the release of their first demo
"The Northern Upins Death" in 1990. The band was founded by Abbath
Doom Occulta and Demonaz Doom Occulta, and together with different
drummers, this core line-up released the first three legendary
albums, "Diabolical Fullmoon Mysticism" (1992), "Pure Holocaust"
(1993) and "Battles In The North" (1995).
Drummer Horgh joined the band in 1996, turning out to be the
perfect match for the band, and the band released the "Blizzard
Beasts" album (1997). However, fate struck as Demonaz was diagnosed
with tendonitis and could no longer play guitar at the speed
required for Immortal, but he still continued to work with the
lyrics. Thus, Abbath changed from bass to guitars, and the band
continued with several bass players over the years, releasing
albums like "At The Heart Of Winter" (1999), "Damned In Black"
(2000) and "Sons Of Northern Darkness" (2002).
The band was put on ice in 2003, but returned to the stage in
2007, playing the first concert of the "7 Dates Of Blashyrkh"
comeback tour at the INFERNO FESTIVAL. The tour was followed by
headlining appearances at several major European festivals, sold
out shows in the US and a tour of Australia and New Zealand.
Immortal released a new album, "All Shall Fall" in the autumn of
2009, and when they return to the INFERNO stage they will make you
bang your heads off!
AURA NOIR - The ugliest band in the world!
Aura Noir started out as a solo-project of Aggressor
in 1995, recorded a couple of demos with the help of Apollyon, that
later join the band full-time. They were perhaps little more than
just the exorcism Aggressor needed for a certain type of demons
before he could let inspiration of an even more devilish kind roam
free, transforming Aura Noir into the penultimate Black Thrash
Metal band.
The Band released their fourth full-length ´Hades Rise´ in 2008,
and are working on their next album as we speak. It bears all the
trademarks of classic Aura Noir - whipping drums, razorsharp
jet-black riffs and the frightening vocal delivery of Apollyon.
Completing the infernal trio is Blasphemer of Mayhem fame.
Today the band´s concert line-up is Apollyon (bass and vocals),
Blasphemer (guitars) and Jehmod (drums), and they will give you a
brutal lesson of old school when they hit the stage at INFERNO
2011!
