Black metal horde MARDUK is getting ready for the last European tour that promotes band's "Wormwood" album. "The Great Northern War Tour 2010" will cover mostly Scandinavia but the tour schedule features some dates in Poland, Germany and the Benelux as well. The tour starts off on September 1 in Poland (Poznań). After the second battle in Poland (Wrocław, Sept. 2) the band will cross the German border to appear on two festivals in Germany: Festival Wolfszeit (Crispendorf) and Metal Fest (Adelsheim). Right after the aforementioned battles MARDUK will play shows in Belgium and the Netherlands. On September 7 Morgan and his panzerdivision will kick off the Scandinavian part of the tour. During the upcoming campaign MARDUK will be supported by a well known Norwegian black metal act RAGNAROK (their brand new release "Collectors of the King" is out now on Regain Records) and one of the most talented young black metal bands from Sweden- VALKYRJA (check out their brand new release "Contamination," released by Metal Blade Records).

After the successful tour with BOLT THROWER Greek black metal gods ROTTING CHRIST will appear on another tour in Europe. This time Sakis & Co. will embark on tour with pagan metal leaders FINNTROLL. The other bands confirmed for this tour are SAMAEL, METSATOLL and NOTHNEGAL. The trek starts in the end of November and will last till the end of December. The tour schedule is available here.

ROTTING CHRIST have been forced to cancel some shows as a result of a recent accident involving guitarist/vocalist Sakis Tolis in which he sustained injuries to his leg that will keep him glued to his bed for at least a month. Fortunately the accident will not affect the prearranged tour with FINNTROLL. At the end of September, ROTTING CHRIST will appear on the second leg of their Polish tour. Right after that the band will play a tour in South America. At the end of October the band will come to the Eastern Europe again to play a tour covering Russia, the Ukraine and Belarus. Previously announced headlining European tour and the Balkans have been moved to 2011. Don't forget to catch ROTTING CHRIST on tour this and next year! (30.06.2010)

"Głosy z Otchłani (De Profundis 1995- 2010)" is the name of VADER's upcoming tour through Poland. The tour is scheduled to run at the end of summer holidays. It's gonna be the last Polish tour of the band planned for 2010. Exclusively for this tour Peter & Co. will prepare a special live set. Band's mainman Peter checks in:

Playing such a special tour, consisted mostly of some places passed over during the latest Blitzkrieg campaign, I would like to give it some kind of a special rank. So, to make the upcoming tour even more unique, in connection with the 15th anniversary of VADER's classic record, we are going to play the entire "De Profundis" album as a part of our standard live set. Hopefully VADER's fans will enjoy the idea and we will be able to repeat it during some band's future tours.

"Recently we appeared on several really successful tours, such as Unholy Titans featuring also Deicide and Marduk, and Blitzkrieg in the East! This year we have already played over 100 shows. More will come really soon! In July VADER will play on a three big festivals: RockHarz in Germany (09.07), Gateway in Sweden (10.07) and Węgorzewo Festival in Poland (11.07.) At the end of September we shall embark on another tour in the U.S. this time together with our colleagues from Immolation. VADER will appear on the tour as a co-headliner, so you should expect band's complete, at least one hour live performance. On 30.12.2010 VADER will appear on a show in Switzerland, sharing the stage with Krisiun, Vital Remains and Rotting Christ. I can also reveal some details of the next studio album. It's tentatively called "Return To The Morbid Reich" and will be recorded in March / April 2011 at Hertz Studio. World premiere through Nuclear Blast is scheduled around August / September. And now .... a well deserved holiday!! See you in August \ m / / Peter (guitar, vocals) (28.06.2010)

Dear promoters,

I had serious accident, my leg is broken and still in gypsum and it should be till late July. It was a really nighmare for me to get a decision that I have never taken in my life. I have never surrender but I feel like this time I have to cancel the following shows:

02 July 2010-Metalshow.lv-Riga-(LATVIA)
03 July 2010 Hard Rock Laager Festival-Vana Vigala (ESTONIA)
04 July 2010 Mulen Ruzas-Vilnius (LITHUANIA)
06 July 2010 Randal-Bratislava (SLOVAKIA)
07 July 2010 Planetnoir Metal Stage-Pecs-(HUNGARY)
08 July 2010 Metal Camp-Tolmin (SLOVENIA)

Believe me that I did my heart stone to take this decision but I believe that cancelling these shows we avoid to have any problem for future shows? If I had to do this tour trip and hit my leg somewhere I would might need an operation so I think it will be better to cancel the shows.

Sakis & Rotting Christ (18.06.2010)

Dear Promoters,

We would like to inform that as of May 30th, 2010, Massive Music decided to put an end to our cooperation with Deicide. We are no longer interested in representing the band in Europe neither as a concert agency nor personally. All gigs and festivals booked by us after this date are in the band's and promoters' hands. We apologize to all promoters for the resultant problems and wish all the best to the band.

Mariusz Kmiolek
President of Massive Music (03.06.2010)

After a very successful opening of worldwide "Aealo Tour 2010" (that took place in Poland, May) Greek black metal masters ROTTING CHRIST have decided to book a few more Polish dates. The 2nd part of "Aealo Tour 2010" consisted of 9 gigs takes place in September/ October and will feature also some support bands (not confirmed yet). The band has already confirmed shows in Lublin, Rzeszów, Krakow, Warszawa, Toruń, Gdańsk, Bielsko-Biała and Gliwice. We are working on a Prague show in Czech Republic. More details will follow soon.

Blitzkrieg 5 Tour 2010 is going on without any major obstacles. VADER and their brothers in crime AS YOU DROWN and DIVINE CHAOS are playing great shows every night. Gigs in London, Dublin, Glasgow, Vera and Kassel were definitely the most special ones during the whole tour. Primarily due to ubiquitous Polish immigrants who come to the shows to support Polish death metal legend. We would like to thank you all for that huge, outstanding support! Jeszcze Polska nie zginęła...

We also want to apologize for the cancelled show in Nottingham. Unfortunately, the venue rented for the show by a local promoter was definitely way too small. Actually, that's not a good place for a metal gig. We preferred to cancel the show rather than kill one another. OK, what's next? During the final part of the tour VADER nad support acts are going to invade Scandinavia. Tomorrow (March 16) we will play a show in Kopenhaga. After that we'll appear on 4 shows in Sweden. Unfortunately, the currently running tour won't cover Norway, Finland and the Baltic States. See you next time! (photo: www.dejee.nl)

We're gonna add more new stuff (so the brand new VADER song will be available in days) also upgrade the general info on the www.vader.pl . The real revolution in look will come with the new album in Autumn.

What happened in last few weeks? Of course, Winterfest with our Dudes from DEICIDE, SAMAEL or DEVIAN was total success indeed!!!! Great tour and awesome start in New year for VADER !!! Every evening we played for plenty of Metal Freaks (average 550 Fans ) and VADER were welcomed like kings. THANX SO MUCH FOR ALL OF YOU INDEED!!!!! This is only a part of what we plan for the upcoming album and tours in late months 2009. We have spend great January with the whole Massive Music Team - who were working pretty hard every night to make every show in quality. The Winter Offensive destroyed everything totally !!!!! ... Those who were know that well. Special greetings for all Fans in Slovakia and Poland , where 800 throats raised Hell every evening !!!!

Below You'll find some lines about the tour written by my Dudes from the band:

VOGG: "Winterfest 2009 was in my opinion tremendous. Great organization, good promotion and no problem at all...DEICIDE was destroying every evening!!! It was for me, Peter, Paul and Reyash just a second tour together but I saw all Fans really satisfied from how we performed. I'd like to thank to Massive Music ,Peter, Fabricio, Wsciekly, Jurgen, and all "gypsies" for professional job and awesome atmosphere every night hehehe. Till next time!!!!"

REYASH: "...after so successful tour in November in Scandinavia/Baltic Lands we all were waiting for Winterfest 2009- next tour organized by Massive Music... We met on 6th January in Progresja Club in Warsaw to prepare the set. Every one relaxed and filled with energy , ready for war... After 3 hours rehearsal (with Riverside practicing just behind the wall...)we spend time in a restaurant next door, having pizza and some good beers. Buzzi (our Friend carrying about the merch)showed up soon and the rest of our team fallowed him: "gypsies" from Krakov January/Vacek and Diabel,. The guys took our gear pretty fast to the trailer and in deep frost (minus 25 degrees) we took direction Massive Music HQ. Mario, Eva and Darek (tour manager) , Piotr and both Crisses (drivers) were awaiting us. Fast supper, cigarette, beer and we all moved to the nightliner... We drove somewhere in Germany to pick up SAMAEL and the rest of Swiss crew.... I woke up at noon in Amsterdam , where the second nightliner was waiting with Australians from AMENTIA, Americans from ORDER OF ENNEAD and our sound master Fabricio. DEVIAN dudes appeared just in next minutes...We were waiting just for DEICIDE. Ralf Santolla showed up soon after fallowed by Jack Owen and Steve Asheim, who came up from darkness in lather suit... After while MR. Glen Benton showed up as well ! with a smile big like Hell... All was completed (two buses and 35 persons) and we start to Tillburg. So was the TEAM. Everything went well since the very beginning of the tour: professional bands-playing like Hell every evening - good venues, great number of Fans, awesome crew and organization, good food. VADER were more and more aggressive every next show. For a first time I was playing on Fender Precision Bass and it was so great feeling banging head with musicians like Peter, Vogg and Paul indeed. Tremendous fourteen shows, last three sold out... Bratislava killed and Poland was probably the best on tour! Every night crazy afterparty with cool Friends... and so on every evening. Thanx so much for Massive Music for professionalism !!! Metal on!!!

PAUL: Winterfest is just over and I can already say, that it was on of the best - if not the best - tour I ever took part at!!! All was so much professional prepared. Great atmosphere and cool company let everyone spend great time indeed. Of course - concerts were the most important and -to be honest -I felt little stress in Polish part of the tour. It were the first shows in Poland in this line up and I was not sure, how the response gonna be like. So the applause for VADER and great numbers of Fans was nice surprise for me. THANX SO MUCH for support !!! It was really important for me indeed. This is noting but big motivation for next VADER album and giving 200% more on next shows for VADER !!!" (02.02.2009)
