Sweden’s black metal gods WATAIN have announced the selected show dates across the Europe, furthermore their latest album “The Wild Hunt” will be available again on vinyl:

In WATAIN‘s own words: “We can now announce that in December this year, we will be performing Casus Luciferi in its entirety on a few select dates across Europe. These concerts will be done together with Mayhem, performing the entire De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas.

The reason why there are only 6 dates is that these venues and promotors were the only ones across all Europe who had the guts to take on this tour package. All honour to them. Meanwhile, those that were too scared and morally subdued to accept the nature of the tour will keep on rotting in fear. For they know well that the law and order they are so desperately trying to uphold by boycotting Black Metal, is about to collapse.

Join us in December and witness the sacred horrors of the past come to life yet again… Black Metal Chaos awaits!”

WATAIN‘s latest album “The Wild Hunt” will be available again August 19th, 2016 on Black and Clear Vinyl. Pre-order here.

Vocalist Erik comments band about Casus Luciferi, the band’s second album that they will perform live:

“Casus Luciferi descended in our world in a most solemn and profound manner, and shaped Watain into something different and otherworldly. Things became very serious with this album. Not only for us as band and the way we did things, but even more so for our spiritual and philosophical approach to our work. It brought a sense of stern direction, a pale hand pointing into the darkness.

There are things on Casus Luciferi that come from distant nameless places, arcane and malevolent in nature. Revisiting those and chanelling their energy is what primarily motivates this tour. We have never performed an entire album live before, although the idea has always been tempting. There are also songs from the album that have never been performed live, and that will now finally come to manifest.

One of the most influential albums for the writing process of Casus Luciferi came out 10 years earlier, “De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas” by Mayhem. The fact that the two albums will now be performed together, 13 years after our album came out, certainly fits into the sacred synchronicity inherent in Casus Luciferi and in Watain itself.”

Casus Luciferi was released by Drakkar and Norma Evangelium Diaboli, and has been reissued on LP and CD by Season of Mist. It was recorded by Tore Stjerna in Necromorbus Studio, Sweden. 3 of the 8 lyrics were written by members of Antaeus, Funeral Mist and Katharsis. The album has been hailed as one of the most influential Black Metal albums of the 2000s.

WATAIN live:
13.12.2016 L’Etage, Rennes, France (with Mayhem)
14.12.2016 Le 106, Rouen, France (with Mayhem)
15.12.2016 Trabendo, Paris, France (with Mayhem)

Century Media Records have announced the following news:

WATAIN entered their national Swedish album charts on #1 with their new album “The Wild Hunt”. And even in the second week it’s still on #5! German fans helped WATAIN to achieve their first ever German chart entry on position #18. In The US the album entered #158 in the Billboard Top 200.

The band played their album release show last Saturday in their hometown Uppsala in Sweden. The sold-out show was a feast of blood, sweat and fire – a night to remember.

As a special gift to dedicated fans you can get a free download of the b-side from the “All That May Bleed” 7” single that came out on Summer Solstice, June 21st, 2013. The Side B is a track called “Play with the Devil” originally recorded by the Black/Heavy Metal band Taiwaz in 1988, in Watain’s hometown

Uppsala. Gottfrid Åhman from In Solitude participates on solo guitar in Watain’s version. In many means a very special song. You can download “Play with the Devil” at http://thewildhunt.se

WATAIN’s own label His Master’s Noise and their partner Century Media Records thank all of you dedicated fans.

E. from WATAIN: “It’s always a special feeling to release an album with Watain; to let the levee break and have the hungry waters gush forth again, swallowing everything in its way. Hail to all of our supporters who gave the release of The Wild Hunt the attention and dignity it deserves! See you on the long and winding road that now lies ahead of us.”

Source: Bravewords.com

With the release of their forthcoming full-length, The Wild Hunt, drawing near, Swedish black metallers WATAIN are now ready to announce their first North American tour in support of the album. Featuring IN SOLITUDE and TRIBULATION as support, this month-long headlining trek (aptly named The Wild Hunt North America) showcases some of Sweden’s finest metal from coast to coast. See below for all upcoming dates.

Watain

Watain comments: “Starting the first full tour for The Wild Hunt in North America seems quite appropriate, considering how many severe experiences and sleepless nights that country has bestowed upon us while riding through its strange wilderness…A thousand years and a thousand deaths have passed since we last visited the States, so prepare yourself to face something very, very old and very, very hungry. Deformed from both victory and defeat, distorted by a constant influx of powers residing beyond the borders of this world, we now return to join forces with our ever loyal US supporters. With us we will have two acts that have the capacity of transforming the audience into one big open wound before we go on stage, ready then to receive the lethal yet illuminating venom of Watain.”

WATAIN: Present New “The Wild Hunt” Song And Exclusive Cover Version

Posted by tarjavirmakari on July 19, 2013
Posted in: News. Tagged: , , . Leave a comment

According to Century Media Records, In anticipation of their album’s release, Swedish black metallers WATAIN are now unleashing yet another new track from their forthcoming full-length, The Wild Hunt, which is due out August 19th in Europe and August 20th in North America through the band’s own label His Master’s Noise via Century Media Records. Watch below the new song “The Child Must Die”.

WATAIN comments: “‘The Child Must Die’ is a song of sorrow and liberation, of the sacrifices that the path of adversity requires. Musically it shows yet another side of ‘The Wild Hunt,’ being more Heavy Metal-rooted perhaps than ‘All That May Bleed’.”
WATAIN - “The Wild Hunt”For another preview of The Wild Hunt, be sure to check out the album’s first single, “All That May Bleed”, which is now available for purchase as a digital download and as an exclusive 7″ at www.wolfwear.net and www.cmdistro.com.

And to give you even more to listen to this weekend: WATAIN have teamed up with the American Decibel Magazine to give fans a white-on-black flexi disc for the exclusive cover song “Fuck Off, We Murder” (made famous by GG Allin). To hear the track, head over to Metal Sucks.net!

WATAIN comments: “Driven by an inner fire and a genuine contempt for society and all its particles, GG Allin lived and died as a true rock n roll outlaw, and is to this day an inspiration for anyone to whom conformity and authority are things that must be fought and eliminated, not only by words but by action.”

The flexi disc for “Fuck Off, We Murder” will be available for subscribers only in Decibel’s September issue (out in August).

Produced once again by Tore Stjerna at his Necromorbus studio in Alvik (Sweden), The Wild Hunt is a sonic and lyrical tour-de-force that explores WATAIN’s roots, such as BATHORY and DISSECTION, while also remaining truly unique. Having lost none of their integrity, WATAIN continues to push the boundaries of the scene with their fifth full-length, refusing to compromise their sound and vision. Amid the tracks teeming with the band’s classic sound, The Wild Hunt also features clean vocals (a first for the band!) which, as front-man Erik puts it, “…is just us being brutally personal and honest. It shows another important facet of the WATAIN world.” As this new album will soon prove, WATAIN truly lives in a world all their own.

The Wild Hunt will be released worldwide in the following formats:
–standard CD jewelcase
–limited edition CD mediabook
–2LP, 180gr black vinyl
–limited edition box set
–digital download
