After 36 dates in Europe, 2012 brings new powers to Negură Bunget's 15th anniversary tour. It is now time to conquer new places. We can announce that 33 dates of the Transilvanian Legacy Tour - US an Canada are now confirmed. This one is going to be epic! The band is working with US artist David Richardson (www.daverichardsonart.com/daverichardson-a.html) for some unique stage elements to be used throughout the US tour. Some elegant anniversary merchandise has been produced. Visit www.negurabunget.com/merchandise.htm for details.



Negură Bunget
With an active presence in the Metal Scene going back to 1995, Negură Bunget shaped a trully personal musical and spiritual vision since its beginning. An amazing DIY attitude and seemingly neverending rezilience made the band perform more than 500 gigs throughtout Europe, from small venues in remote places to the stages of famous festivals like Wacken Open Air, Summerbreeze, Hellfest or Graspop. The 2006 album OM put the bands name in the history of Black Metal, being voted by the UK leading magazine Terrorizer as nr. 6 in The Top 100 Albums of the Decade (2000-2010). Many thought the line-up changes in 2008 would bring down the band, but in fact things turned out to work well, and the new album Vîrstele pămăntului got an amazing response from both audience and media, taking the band to an even higher level. The band currently teamed up with German label Prophecy Production / Lupus Lounge Records for releasing an even more ambitious project - a visual and musical trilogy set to explore the band's Transilvanian heritage. The first tunes of it are about to be heard on the tour. Negură Bunget is renowned for its intense and authentic live presence, which is now ready to be unleashed for the first time over North America.


Eclipse Eternal
Founded in the Fall of 1999 by Voldamares, Eclipse Eternal early music was filled with chaos and raw aggression. Within a year, the band began work on their first full-length CD, Reign of the Unholy Blackened Empire. While the band’s reputation gained momentum through multiple live performances, Eclipse Eternal focused their creative energies upon writing their most highly regarded album to date, Übermensch: Evolution Beyond The Species. Upon release, the album received rave reviews by both the press and their ever-growing fanbase. To promote this release, Eclipse Eternal would then spend four years performing their live rituals alongside such well-respected bands as Mayhem, Satyricon, Immortal, Watain, Dark Funeral, Enslaved, and many more. On Saturday, January 14th 2012, their newest and most powerful album to date, The Essence of Hopelessness, is released upon the world. Eclipse Eternal has mixed the vicious, harsh nature of their previous album with an emotional intensity that is rarely seen in current Black Metal. With lyrics swinging from Odes to ancient Pagan times to suicide to murder most foul, Eclipse Eternal holds back nothing on this third full-length album. This is Death Obsessed Black Metal at its best.


Wolven Ancestry
Formed in 2006, Wolven Ancestry was created by founding members Fraust and Lord Defiler, whom self produced and wrote the entire first album The Wrath of Gaia. A full line up was formed soon after and since this conception the band has shared the stage with many great bands including Mayhem, Sigh, Behemoth, Impaled Nazarene, Ensiferum, Rotting Christ and many more pioneering acts. Wolven Ancestry is truly one of Canada's hardest working DIY bands and have recorded, produced, mastered and released all of their own albums through their own record label, Archaic North Entertainment based out of Sudbury Ontario, Canada. In 2009 the second album Silence of the Boreal was released, seeing the band tour the US and Canada more extensively. Their influences: the energies which bind all to nature, the sounds of animals, mainly wolf; the sound of snow falling; the sound of the wind kissing the trees at night. The band is currently working on their third album which should see a 2012 release later on this year.


The Way Of Purity
Sun, Fire, Wind, Water, Earth, Demons, Nature, Lunar Phases, Souls of the First Humans, and Diseases will unite to rebalance the world with a final goal: Animals and Nature will rule the planet again with their integrity. The Way Of Purity doesn't show off with smart or cool band members. No names, no fancy photos, no effigy, no trendy musical influences and no nationality. No compromise, no way to talk or get to know us - we are the fucking NOTHING. Welcome to the precarious balance and the ancient code of the Way of Purity, that might hold the key to salvation... Everything started in March 2009 when Animal and Earth liberation soldiers The Way Of Purity, literally coming from nowhere, posted the first song on myspace. The debut album Crosscore was co-produced by Chris Donaldson of Cryptopsy/The Agonist. Fetish queen and film director Susy Medusa Gottardi (from Private) decided to cooperate with them and produced a 30 min. shocking movie based on TWOP’s first singer's suicide. Straight after the release of the second album Equate, the band is emarking on a USA/Canada tour with Negură Bunget.


Din Brad
A universe gathering the force of life as a circle reveals a local spirituality filled with deep meanings. Din Brad is a personal view on the Romanian traditional music. The goal is to shape through the music of Din Brad as a personal vision on the local traditional music, it’s ceremonial and social value as well as the deep connection with the natural and spiritual surroundings. Thought of since 2002 by Negru, the idea of Din Brad grew until 2008 when things started to came to reality. Prophecy Productions were impressed by the original concept, so a contract was signed immediately. The debut album, Dor, is exploring the characteristic Romanian feelings of mourn and yearn which for many are emblematic characteristics of the Romanian soul. The album was recorded in 2011 and is being released by Auerbach Tonträger / Prophecy Productions days before the beginning of the tour.
