IMMORTAL To Headline Norway's HOLE IN THE SKY Festival

May 3, 2007

Norwegian black metallers IMMORTAL have been confirmed as the headliners of this year's Hole in the Sky festival, set to take place August 22-25 in Bergen, Norway. Also scheduled to appear are MELECHESH, DESTROYER 666, IMMOLATION, NAPALM DEATH, OLD and TESTAMENT.

Comments IMMORTAL's Demonaz: "It's been seven years since IMMORTAL played in Bergen and we look forward to return home with a vengeance. Bergen is of course very special for us, after all it's our home town. IMMORTAL will do a very special show that will be nothing short of spectacular. The band has planned to do songs from all their albums, including some rare gems for this concert only. Hole in the Sky has become a very important festival over the years and we are proud to headline this event alongside this great selection of bands".

The Hole in the Sky organizers said in a statement: "We couldn't think of a better act closing this year's festival, really. IMMORTAL has it all — their showmanship is second to none, their appeal stretches far beyond the regular metal crowd and their back catalogue is loaded with metal anthems bound to take an audience by storm. The band hasn't played in their home town for many, many years, so this is going to be nothing less than a triumphant blast for the band and their fans".

Watch video clips of IMMORTAL's performance at this year's Inferno Festival (which took place in early April) on YouTube. New photos of the concert can be found at the group's official web site. Other bands that performed at the event included PRIMORDIAL, ZYKLON, SUFFOCATION, MOONSPELL, BRUTAL TRUTH, DARK FUNERAL, TIAMAT and SODOM.
