ENSLAVED will be direct support for OPETH on their upcoming North American tour. The 23-show stint will launch on May 1st on Sayreville, New Jersey and end on May 27th in Washington, D.C.
OPETH's Mikael Åkerfeldt has issued the following update:
"Hey guys!Well, we just confirmed the upcoming North American tour together with Enslaved. I'm pretty psyched to have them with us! Had my eye on them since when both bands was working with Candlelight Records... gee, fucking ages ago it seems.
We've played with them a few times, hung out a few times and they're really cool dudes + we share a love for psychedelic and progressive music as well as for the mellotron. Lotsa geeky post-midnite obscure bands talk coming up...
We've got a nice setlist cooking so I hope you'll come and see us once again. We'll "rokk youuuu like a hurrikkkanne"!!
NP: Funkadelic debut Lp (on repeat)
Oh, did I tell ya we've done a Bloodbath video? For the song 'Hades Rising'. It was pretty cool and smooth... needless to say we're covered in blood. Well, it was some kinda syryp. On the way back home my car died in the middle of the biggest tunnel system in Sweden. I felt like I was in some XBOX game in there. It was... actually.... pretty cool!
Anything else??.....noooo.... that's it for now!
Cheers, Mike
