WATAIN's BATHORY Tribute At SWEDEN ROCK FESTIVAL; Video Available
June 15, 2010After completing the regular portion of their set at this year's Sweden Rock Festival on June 12, Swedish black metallers WATAIN returned to the stage for a unique 45-minute tribute concert featuring classic BATHORY songs. The event was made even more special as the BATHORY part of WATAIN's performance was introduced by none other than late BATHORY mainman Quorthon's father and producer, Börje "Boss" Forsberg.
Fan-filmed video footage of the BATHORY portion of WATAIN's performance can be viewed below.
WATAIN's fourth album, "Lawless Darkness", was released on 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.
"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.)
WATAIN will embark on a European headlining tour in the fall. Support on the trek will come from DESTROYER 666.
