Vocalist Dolk from Norwegian black metallers KAMPFAR has issued the following statement:

"This was not supposed to be revealed yet. But I decided to do so through this personal profile. Even my band mates don’t know this yet. But I have now finally started my long time plan to do/write a book. This has been an idea I had for ages now, due to all the questions I get from the 'media' about this theme/topic/period of time. I have been so tired in a way, to tell parts of this story without being able to tell the whole story. So the book will be about the early years in black metal and about my side of the story of it all. This book will step on someone`s toes, That’s for sure. But it’s my side of the story. This book is for those who are interested (And it’s some sort of a soul and mind surfer for me personal). To the rest … well I don’t give a fuck!! It`s all very early in the process yet. But I have decided to go all the way now. Anyway, this have been a long process for me and a big step to make it official. Besides my woman. You are the first ones to know this at all. Thanx for the support. My deepest respect."

Kampfar will join Norwegian black metal collective VREID on a North American headlining trek this August. The Black Path Of America Tour 2011 will commence on August 25th in Toronto, ON and trample through 14 cities before coming to a ceremonious close on September 10th in San Diego, CA.
