FROM INFERNO FESTIVAL 2015 (NORWAY) PROMOTERS: 
The German black metal band SECRETS OF THE MOON are confirmed for Inferno Metal Festival 2015! The band was formed in 1995 and has since then released some of the most atmospheric and doomy black metal from the German black metal scene! This is their first appearance at Inferno Metal Festival!

Already announced artists: BEHEMOTH, ENSLAVED, BLOODBATH, MY DYING BRIDE, SEPTICFLESH, 1349, MORTUARY DRAPE, ANTICHRIST, SLAGMAUR, DØDSENGEL, SKELETONWITCH, SVARTIDAUÐI, ENSIFERUM, SINMARA and MISÞYRMING.

Occult black metal band Secrets of the Moon was formed in Osnabrück, Germany, in 1995. The band has released a huge number of full-lengths, EPs and splits with very diverse music and have been described as "the chameleons of black metal" in Germany's Rock Hard magazine due to their style changes with every album. Secrets of the Moon's latest album, “Seven Bells”, was done with the help of legend Tom G. Warrior from Celtic Frost / Triptykon and is a slow doom-driven album with a dark atmosphere and full of forceful energy. So this is something to look forward to when they now release all hell at Inferno Metal Festival


Welcome to our 15 years anniversary! Once again we invite metalheads from all over the world to celebrate the black Easter in Norway at Inferno Metal Festival with the best of extreme metal there is to offer. And this year it is going to be a special one as we celebrate 15 successful years as the leading extreme metal festival in Norway. Join us from 1. - 4. April for four amazing metal days in Norway. This will be an event you will never forget!

The Norwegian black metal label TERRATUR POSSESSIONS will be presenting their own stage during Inferno Club Night at the new venue POKALEN. On Wednesday 1st of April two new Icelandic acts Sinmara andMisþyrming will join the already announced Svartidauði this evening! Sinmara has released their great debut album “Aphotic Womb” earlier this year. While Misþyrming will have their album “Söngvar elds og óreiðu” out later this year. To make the evening even better, Toxic Vision will bring her artistic vision to the event. Prepare for an evening of total annihilation, violence and bloodshed!

TERRATUR POSSESSIONS – THE ASHES OF WRATH
Inferno Metal Festival is proud to present an evening with the label Terratur Possessions! Residing in the fiery pits of Nidaros, the label is known for releasing bands such as Urfaust, Mare, Svartidauði, One Tail One Head, Archgoat, Sinmara, Vemod and several other highly regarded bands. Starting out as a small cassette label back in 2007, now, 7 years, worldwide distribution and 40 releases later, the label is considered to be one of the most credible underground sensations in the Black Metal underground these days. Label owner Ole A. Aune states: "I'm honored to work with the people involved. What better way of honoring the venue name Vulkan than flying in three bands from the vulcano hellhole otherwise known as Iceland? Three of the best bands around these days, no doubt, and not to mention working with one of the most talented and inspiring artists around these days; Miss Toxic Vision. I can't wait to see what morbid visions she'll create for this evening. Hell is here on earth."

EXECUTIONERS
Nothing left to coincidence, the Icelanders have been selected to crush any shadow of a doubt their little country is home to one of the most interesting Black Metal scenes these days. Svartidauði is well known to most already, whereas the dirty "little brother" Sinmara is a more recent affair, but already praised as one of the most promising new acts of recent times. And then there's Misþyrming, the newly signed band on Terratur Possessions, already gaining a huge following before even releasing anything except some teasers online. This will be their first gig outside Iceland.

TOXIC VISION'S OSSUARY EXHIBITION
After many years of melding together bits and pieces from another world, Toxic Vision will bring to Inferno a new way of presenting workmanship by way of funerary procession inspired by artists from around the globe. A showcase of the dead, the tower of silence… Prepare to burn.

POKALEN
This is a brand new venue for Inferno Metal Festival. Pokalen is located at the ground floor of the same building as Vulkan Arena and is one of Oslo's hottest places for gigs at the moment. Both Vulkan Arena and Pokalen have been tried out for both festivals and gigs already and it works like a charm. We are excited about this new venue and its location close to our other venues Blå and John Dee.

Ensiferum is confirmed for Inferno Metal Festival 2015! The band comes from the Finnish forests and the sword bearers are ready for Norway where they will give us their epic folk-metal. Ensiferum has been around since 1995 and have so far released five albums and the sixth is just around the corner. So be ready for some majestic metal, sword fighting and lots of mead when the Finns play live at Inferno Metal Festival 2015!

Finnish Ensiferum started in 1995 and has released five full-length albums. The band's style is melodic epic folk-metal carried on with the edge of a viking sword. The band's lyrics are often based on historical narratives from early Scandinavia. The potential of the debut album was turned into perfection when they released "Iron" in 2004 and they were immediately crowned as kings of the genre. Since then they have maintained their position and integrity. Ensiferums next album will come out in early 2015 on Metal Blade - just in time for Inferno Metal Festival 2015.


Svartidauði will play Inferno Metal Festival and Houses of the Holistic next year. This is what Einar Selvik and Ivar Bjørnson have to say about the Icelandic black metal band regarding their playing at Houses of the Holistic:

Einar “Kvitrafn” Selvik / Wardruna: “Svartidauði is for me the most interesting Black Metal band I've heard in a very long time coming from the North which makes it a very natural choice to welcome them into our curated night!”

Ivar Bjørnson adds: “What happened with Black Metal? Whatever it was, you can’t blame Svartidauði. They’re making interesting, weird and dark music instead of being sexy and circusy. They embody the spirit that once bound me to the genre, and we are very proud and privileged to have them as part of Houses of the Holistic!”
