ENSLAVED: Greek Shows Cancelled

June 23, 2005

Norwegian extreme metallers ENSLAVED have posted the following message on their official web site:

"The shows in Greece on July 5th and 6th are cancelled. Today (June 23rd) ENSLAVED's agent got a mail from promoter Manos telling us it is off. We made an agreement several months ago, but Manos decided to make travel arrangements last week (!).

"First the festival in Tessaloniki on June 6th got cancelled because they couldn't find tickets for the headliners out of Greece. Today they cancelled ENSLAVED from the festival on June 5th (Athens) because when they finally looked for tickets, they got expensive (like they normally do close to departure).

"Are you disappointed? So are the ENSLAVED guys... Drop Manos a line if you need further details to why ENSLAVED got cancelled: [email protected]."

As previously reported, ENSLAVED are planning to perform the entire "Eld" album (originally released in 1997) during their scheduled appearance at the Hole in the Sky festival on August 26 in Bergen, Norway. This will be the first and last time ever for this specific concept, according to a posting on the group's web site.

ENSLAVED are currently putting the finishing touches on their "Return to Yggdrasil" DVD. The disc will feature the band's May 4 live performance in Bergen and bonus material from the band's European tour, including a band interview. The sound is being handled by Lars Klokkerhaug (who mixed "ISA") and the editing of the footage is being taken care of by Stig "Ese" Eliassen (guitarist of VREID, ENSLAVED's support band on their recent European tour).

ENSLAVED recently won the "Metal Album of the Year" prize at the Norwegian "Grammy" awards, Spellemannprisen, for their latest release, "ISA". The band also received the independent Alarm Award for "Best Metal Album" of 2004.
