German progressive black metallers SECRETS OF THE MOON have announced the first European leg of their Privilegivm World Tour. The tour will also feature Iceland's SOLSTAFIR and Britain's CODE. The headlining band will change each night. BORKNAGAR will also appear on select dates.

In other news, SECRETS OF THE MOON has recruited a "permanent live guitarist" in Ar who played previous shows with teh band and will appear on all upcoming dates as well.

Ar states, "Actually, my appearance in SECRETS OF THE MOON was supposed to be a temporary one. However, during the first four gigs we did together I revealed LSK, sG and Thelemnar as kindred spirits. It felt amazingly, yes, strangely natural to manifest together and to act as a union. Therefore I proudly proclaim this as a permanent live collaboration."

Ar has been active in NEGURA BUNGET on bass guitar before the original band split up. His own band ODEM ARCARUM recently signed a contract with a well-known record label.
