DIMMU BORGIR Frontman's Wedding To Be Attended By NICOLAS CAGE, JIM CARREY

August 15, 2008

Actress and philanthropic fashion designer Christina Fulton has announced her engagement to Stian Thoresen, also known as Shagrath, frontman for the Norwegian black metal band DIMMU BORGIR. The couple will wed in a private sunset ceremony on September 20, 2008, at the world-renowned Prekestolen in Norway.

"Fate brought the two together. It's absolute romance in its purest form, a fairy tale of a king and queen," said Fulton's son, Weston Coppola Cage, who will be giving away the bride. Cage's father, actor Nicolas Cage, will attend the ceremony, along with celebrity participants Rob Zombie, Jim Carrey, Patricia Arquette, and Marla Maples.

Christina Fulton, Stian Thoresen, and Weston Coppola Cage are currently in Sweden where Cage is recording the debut album of his black metal band EYES OF NOCTUM at Studio Fredman with acclaimed producer Fredrik Nordström (DIMMU BORGIR, IN FLAMES, HAMMERFALL). Norwegian drummer Hellhammer (MAYHEM, DIMMU BORGIR) and Swedish multi-instrumentalist Snowy Shaw (THERION, DREAM EVIL, KING DIAMOND, MERCYFUL FATE, MEMENTO MORI, NOTRE DAME) have recorded guest appearances on the CD, which will be released through Morbid Rose Records, a label managed by Fulton.

Following their honeymoon, Fulton will return to Los Angeles to resume work on her reality show for Tijuana Productions and to preview the latest collection in her FULCAGE clothing line at MAGIC Marketplace. Weston Coppola Cage will play a lead role opposite his father, Nicolas Cage, in the feature film "Scared Straight", currently in pre-production. Thoresen will tour the U.S. this autumn alongside DANZIG on the "Blackest of the Black" tour. The release of DIMMU BORGIR's new three-disc DVD, "Invaluable Darkness", is expected this October. Recently, Norway's CHROME DIVISION, which features Shagrath on guitar, released their second album, "Booze, Broads and Beezlebub", to rave reviews.

Thoresen and Fulton met five months ago through one of the singer's associates. According to the couple, it was love at first sight.

Fulton is best known for her role as "Nico", the lead singer of the VELVET UNDERGROUND in Oliver Stone's "The Doors". She has appeared in over 17 films, including Brian De Palma's "Snake Eyes", Abel Ferrara's "Dangerous Games" and the independent film "Lucinda's Spell", which earned her an award at Slamdance.

Fulton made her directorial debut with the premiere of the documentary film "When Giants Collide", which received overwhelming critical acclaim for its depiction of wrestlers and the sport of wrestling.

Weston introduced DIMMU BORGIR from the stage at the April 16, 2008 concert at The Grove in Anaheim, California.
