IMMORTAL "WE CAN'T WAIT TO FINALLY PERFORM FOR YOU AGAIN"

Reunited Norwegian black metallers IMMORTAL have issued the following update:

"Some months have passed since we announced our reunion shows and we would like to say thanks for all the fantastic feedback we have received.

" Abbath and Apollyon rehearsed together last weekend, and with Horgh just back from the U.S., we will start with full band rehearsals in January.

"Our first gig will be the Inferno Festival in Norway, and during the summer, we will play the confirmed shows in France, Finland, USA, Slovenia and Germany.

"We wish you all the best for now, and can't wait to finally perform for you again."

Upcoming IMMORTAL concerts:

Apr. 5-7 - Oslo, NOR @ Inferno Festival
Jun. 22-24 - Clisson, FRA @ Hellfest
Jun. 29-Jul. 1 - Helsinki, FIN @ Tuska Open Air
Jul. 13 - New York City, NY @ BB King's
Jul. 15 - Los Angeles, CA @ The Avalon
Jul. 20 - Tolmin, SLO @ Metal Camp
Aug. 2-4 - Wacken, GER @ Wacken Open Air

After 13 successful years as one of the pioneers of black metal, IMMORTAL disbanded in 2003 with a legacy of seven full-length albums, including the 2002 milestone, "Sons of Northern Darkness" . Following a long hiatus, the band decided to enter the live battlefield again.

In 2007, the world will experience a ferocious new IMMORTAL lineup, featuring Abbath , Horgh , and new bass player Apollyon from AURA NOIR .

"I needed a break," Abbath explained. "I think we all did! We were simply burnt out, and there was no point in continuing. We had a Norwegian tour booked, and had performed at some great festivals both in the U.S. and Europe, but it just didn't feel right any longer."

TESTAMENT CONFIRMED FOR METALMANIA FEST 2007

Metal Mind Productions have announced that the 21st edition of Metalmania Festival - the biggest metal fest in Central-Eastern Europe - will take place on March 24th, 2007 at Spodek Hall in Katowice, Poland. As usual there will be two stages where around 25 bands will perform for thousands of metal freaks!

TESTAMENT is the first band to be confirmed to perform on the main stage during Metalmania Festival 2007.

The American band was meant to perform at the Metalmania festival in 2006, however, owing to the unclear politics of the band's concert agency Maximus Entertainment, it did not come to pass, for which the agency apologized. But the band themselves did not forget about their Polish fans and accepted with pleasure the invitation to the 2007 edition of the festival.

Let us remind you that Testament is a thrash metal legend which has been active since 1983 and which enjoys an almost maniac adoration by their fans. Not only did those Americans from San Francisco create the foundations of the thrash metal genre, but they also developed their own distinctive sound which won them a stable position in the metal Pantheon, next to such bands as METALLICA, SLAYER and MEGADETH. At the Metalmania Festival the band will perform in their classic line-up: Chuck Billy (vocals), Alex Skolnick (guitar), Eric Peterson (guitar), Greg Christian (bass) plus a guest musician from CRADLE OF FILTH: Nicholas Baker (drums). It is with pride and joy to invite to such a gig, which is going to be one of the most important musical events in 2007!
