GORGOROTH To Tour Europe In November

Norwegian black metallers GORGOROTH will embark on the second leg of their European tour, "Quantos Possunt ad Satanitatem Trahunt", in late November. A total of eight shows are planned, with support to be provided by two as-yet-undisclosed "guest acts."

Commented guitarist/mainman Infernus: "We're totally excited about this! To get the opportunity to extend the 'Quantos Possunt' tour into other European territories which we did not have time for in April. A

"As of now, we aim at doing this as the second out of three in total. This also coincides with the beginning of a new chapter for us in terms of booking agency, as I last week made up my mind and decided to switch to Massive Music for the continental parts of Europe."

Added Massive Music's Mariusz Kmiolek: "We are extremely pleased that Infernus and unholy GORGOROTH decided to to cooperate with us. This is a big challenge for Massive Music, because of a very strong competition in the music bussiness, band's recent personal problems and so on.

"I've been a fan of the band since many years and I really hope that together with Massive Music unholy horde GORGOROTH will become even stronger. Expect them at numerous concerts and festivals in Europe soon!"

The first concert of the GORGOROTH European tour to be announced will take place on November 25 at Le Cargö in Caen, France (with remaining gigs to take place before and after November 25). Before that, GORGOROTH will play three shows in Brazil on September 4-6, and the Heavy Metal Circus expo in Mexico City on September 11.

GORGOROTH's ninth album, "Quantos Possunt ad Satanitatem Trahunt", is now finally available on vinyl, in two different versions. The regular vinyl edition, which includes a poster, is released by Regain Records, whereas the picture disc version is released by Forces of Satan Records. Both versions are strictly limited pressings.

"Quantos Possunt ad Satanitatem Trahunt" was released on October 21, 2009 in Europe via Regain Records. The CD, which was made available in the U.S. on November 11, was recorded at Tomas Asklund's Monolith Studio and features Infernus on guitar, OBITUARY's Frank Watkins (a.k.a. Bøddel) on bass, Pest on vocals and Tomas Asklund on drums.

"Quantos Possunt ad Satanitatem Trahunt" was produced by Infernus and co-produced/engineered by Tomas Asklund. It was mastered at the Cutting Room in Stockholm.

Since Infernus wrote all the music for the album and extensive rehearsals and a pre-production recording had also been completed before second guitarist Tormentor rejoined the band in 2008, it was decided that it would be more convenient for Infernus to record all the guitars on the LP.
