Former MAYHEM Frontman's SKITLIV To Join GALLHAMMER On Tour

April 25, 2007

SKITLIV, the band headed by former MAYHEM vocalist Maniac, is set to join Japanese all-girl band GALLHAMMER for a short, four-date tour in the autumn. Already confirmed is a gig in Denmark on October 2 when the two bands will play Loppen in Copenhagen.

While this mini-tour is likely to be the first opportunity many will have to see Maniac on stage again since 2004, it is also part of the much-anticipated first European tour by GALLHAMMER, whose "The Dawn Of…" CD/DVD was recently released on Peaceville.

SKITLIV was formed by Maniac in 2006 following a sabbatical from the music business which enabled the frequently controversial frontman to take stock of which direction he wanted to head musically. Aside from Maniac on vocals and guitars, the band includes Ingvar on guitars, Peter on bass and Canadian drummer Trish. Unmastered tracks from the band can be heard on the official SKITLIVMySpace page. Maniac is also involved in TEAM ARMSTRONG, a side project loosely formed of various musicians from the Oslo scene who come together to play whatever kind of music they feel like playing, regardless of whether it is a genre they would normally be associated with. The band is due to play at Oslo's legendary Elm Street Rock Café on May 1 and a rehearsal track has been uploaded onto TEAM ARMSTRONG's MySpace page. Maniac has also just finished recording guitars and vocals for a track on the forthcoming album from Swedish band DEADWOOD.
