IMPALED NAZARENE – Karmageddon Canada 2008 Tour Dates Announced

Black Mass Krakow 2004, featuring the band's spectacular show recorded in Krakow, Poland will finally see the light of day on June 9th in Europe and June 10th in US (via MVD).

Gorgoroth drew the attention of the international media in early 2004 after their show in Krakow. They were accused of "offending religious feelings" during the gig, as well as suspected of breaching Polish law concerning the protection of animal rights by using severed and impaled heads of sheep as part of their stage design. The controversial concert in Poland resulted in the group being investigated for the possible breach of Article 196 of Polish penal code concerning offense of religious feelings (the maximum penalty for breaching this article is five years in prison).

In one of the band's first interviews after this controversial concert, Infernus said to Unrestrained! Magazine (Canada): "We didn't plan to really have an outcome like that, our only intent was to go there and film the DVD. All the chaos and media reaction that came from this was a surprise of sorts."

Asked if they "were worried when the authorities were called", Infernus answered: "Not worried, really. I mean, what was the worst thing they could do? Destroy the tapes? I don't think they would do that and I don't think they could really do any harm to us, though they might be able to put the Polish producer away in prison for a few years. For us, this will probably help us sell a few more records. As of now, I can only think that the DVD will be put out eventually. It would be almost like they are stuck in the Middle Ages in Poland if they destroyed the tapes by burning them. I hope to get them back one day… I hope."

Krakow’s show is the main feature of the Black Mass Krakow 2004 DVD. Additionally, it includes bonus video material – Live at With Full Force Festival, Leipzig, 2000 (tracks: 'Destroyer', 'Incipit Satan'), biography, discography, photo gallery, desktop images, weblinks, Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound and more! DVD will be available in two versions: as a standard DVD and as a very unique star metalpack DVD edition limited to 5000 copies!
