AMON AMARTH, OBITUARY, ENSLAVED Pull Out Of Czech Republic's UNHOLY FEST

May 19, 2009

AMON AMARTH, OBITUARY and ENSLAVED have cancelled their appearances at the 2009 edition of the Unholy Fest, set to take place July 23-25 in Ostrava, Czech Republic, due to a "breach of agreement." No further details are currently available.

AMON AMARTH's seventh full-length album, "Twilight of the Thunder God", sold more than 11,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 48 on The Billboard 200 chart.

"Twilight of the Thunder God" was recorded at Fascination Street Studio in Örebro, Sweden and features several high-profile guest appearances including ENTOMBED singer L.G. Petrov (on "Guardians of Asgaard"),CHILDREN OF BODOM guitarist Roope Latvala (who shreds a fierce solo on the track "Twilight of the Thunder God") and Finnish cello metal band APOCALYPTICA (a guest appearance on "Live For The Kill").

An e-card for "Darkest Day", the forthcoming album from Florida-based death metallers OBITUARY, is available at this location. It features audio clips of three songs from the CD —"List of Dead", "Blood to Give" and "Payback".

"Darkest Day" is scheduled for release on June 30 via Candlelight Records. Vocalist John Tardy previousy said about the CD, "It came out really sick and I cannot wait for you guys to hear it... it is heavy!!"

The band once again worked with artist Andreas Marschall, who created the art for "The End Complete", "Frozen in Time", and the group's last record, "Xecutioner's Return".

OBITUARY will release a new concert DVD, tentatively titled "Live Xecution In Bad Berka 2008", in June via Regain Records. The footage for the disc was filmed at last year's Party.San Open Air festival, which was held August 7-9, 2008 in Bad Berka, Germany.
