Gorgoroth + Mortiis + more

Since 1992, guitarist Infernus has been the centre of the Norwegian black metal band Gorgoroth, which takes its name from the works of J. R. R. Tolkien. Despite numerous line-up changes, especially in the rhythm section, the basic, low-key and above all distinctive take on their trademark riffs and characteristic Norwegian sound has remained fairly stable.

The evening will join the solo project of ex-Emperor bassist Mortiis, which he founded in 1992 after leaving Emperor to pursue an alternative darkwave/dungeon synth sound. He has released 9 full-length albums dealing with themes of anger, depression and the fantastic. Mortiis has shared the stage with a variety of artists and bands whose genres range from black metal to punk to industrial and EBM and has toured with Danzig, Behemoth, Apoptygma Berzerk, Combichrist, Christian Death, Mushroomhead, The Genitorturers and Deathstars, to name a few. They'll be supported by black metal band Aran Angmar and the evening will be opened by France's Hats Barn.
