KEEP OF KALESSIN Check In From European Tour
November 26, 2005Norwegian black metallers KEEP OF KALESSIN, featuring Obsidian C. (a.k.a. Arnt Grønbech, also a touring guitarist for SATYRICON) on guitars/bass/synth, have posted the following report from their current European tour with EXODUS and HYPOCRISY:
"We're now well on our way on the tour with EXODUS and HYPOCRISY and it's going great!
"We had a rough start in Jyvaskale since the ferry over to Finland totally took our life away and Lee [Altus, guitar] from EXODUS demanded that he should buy us vodka worthy of a thousand pound cave troll.
"But as the body is getting back into shape and the playing gets easier we're now very happy with everything on this tour. HYPOCRISY and EXODUS are fucking awesome bands to tour with!
"The crowd has been great for us as well, but we must remind everyone to show up early to catch our act as we normally go on stage at 20:00!! Today we're playing in Riga, Latvia and we start at 19:30!"
As previously reported, KEEP OF KALESSIN have set a March 27, 2006 release date for their new album, entitled "Armada". The CD will be released via the Norwegian label Tabu Recordings, a division of Tuba Records. Vyl is playing drums on the album and a new bass player, Wizziac, is being introduced. MAYHEM singer Attila Chisar is doing some additional vocals, but he will not be the frontman anymore. The band will try out different vocalists in the studio to find the one who matches the music best. The group's complete lineup will be revealed when the recording sessions are completed.
KEEP OF KALESSIN's most recent mini-album, "Reclaim", was released in December 2003 through FaceFront Records. The group's first release since 1999's "Agnen: A Journey through the Dark" (Avantgarde),"Reclaim" has been described as a new milestone in Norwegian black metal by the Norwegian press. "Reclaim" is available in the U.S. through The End mail-order.
