THOU SHALT SUFFER Rarity To Be Reissued
March 22, 2004, 20 years ago
Candlelight Records, will be reissuing the 1998 album, Into The Woods Of Belial from THOU SHALT SUFFER. The band was formed in 1991 by EMPEROR guitarist Samoth (aka Tomas Thormodsæter Haugen) and vocalist/guitarist Ihsahn (aka Vegard Sverre Tveitan)
"I've been thinking of reissuing this album for quite some time, especially considering it was never properly available in the US," says Samoth whose Nocturnal Art Productions originally released the album. "I think to this day the album offers strong and classic material. It is definitely a piece of Norwegian metal history; dark, obscure death metal that spawned the creation of Emperor."In other news, Candlelight will reissue the entire Emperor catalog, until recently available via license to Century Media Records. Enhancements and additions are expected; specifics not available for press time. Thou Shalt Suffer's Into The Woods Of Belial will hit stores on May 18.
