BW&BK; has received the following:

Due to a recent addition to his family, DIMMU BORGIR guitarist Galder will not be able to do the upcoming North American trek on DANZIG's Blackest Of The Black tour.

States Dimmu Borgir guitarist Silenoz: “We have some new, temporary personnel on this tour. We needed an experienced live guitarist and found him in an old friend of mine and Galder: Cyrus of SUSPERIA. We’re happy he can step in and don’t plan on giving him a hard time on the road.”

Drumming duties on the Blackest Of The Black tour will be handled by Daray (ex-VADER). According to Silenoz, fans can perhaps expect a few surprises when it comes to the set list. Tour dates are below.

Tonight at 10 PM at the Steve Allen Theater in Los Angeles, fans of Norwegian black metal will have the unique opportunity to attend an exclusive, advanced screening of footage from Dimmu Borgir’s The Invaluable Darkness DVD, a three-disc package of 2 DVDs plus a bonus audio CD scheduled for North American release on October 14th. For DVD premiere tickets, please visit: www.SteveAllenTheater.com.

For all fans unable to attend the screening, The Invaluable Darkness DVD is available for pre-order through JSR Direct as a bundle (DVD + exclusive t-shirt), alone (DVD only), or exclusive t-shirt only.
