WATAIN Mainman Interviewed By IMHOTEP

June 7, 2010

Imhotep's Paul Kearns and Roy Kristensen recently drove to Stockholm, Sweden to conduct an interview with mainman Erik "E" Danielsson of Swedish black metallers WATAIN. The lengthy chat, which was conducted at WATAIN's rehearsal place, can be viewed in four parts below.

WATAIN's fourth album, "Lawless Darkness", was released today (Monday, June 7) in a limited three-panel digipack edition with die-cut and a cover of DEATH SS' "Chains of Death" as a bonus track.

The track listing for the CD is as follows:

01. Death's Cold Dark
02. Malfeitor
03. Reaping Death
04. Four Thrones
05. Wolves Curse
06. Lawless Darkness
07. Total Funeral
08. Hymn to Qayin
09. Kiss of Death
10. Waters of Ain

"Reaping Death", the new CD single from WATAIN, which was exclusively distributed in Sweden via Sweden Rock Magazine, was certified gold in the band's home country on April 21 by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry for sales in excess of 10,000 copies. (Note: Each copy of the magazine sold in Sweden was counted towards the certification.)

After announcing its special BATHORY tribute set on June 12 as part of this year's Sweden Rock Festival, WATAIN was approached by Sweden Rock Magazine to record a BATHORY cover for a special CD. In collaboration with Sweden Rock Magazine and Season Of Mist, WATAIN put together a special CD that all subscribers of the magazine received with issue #70 (which came out on April 6). The CD consists of a cover of BATHORY's "The Return of Darkness and Evil" as well as the brand new track "Reaping Death", from WATAIN's forthcoming fourth album, "Lawless Darkness".

WATAIN will embark on a European headlining tour in the fall. Support on the trek will come from DESTROYER 666.
