German thrashers EXUMER have been confirmed to appear at this year's Rock Hard Festival in Milan, Italy on September 15th. Also on the bill for the festival are Danish thrashers ARTILLERY, who have just come off the co-headlining South American Damnation tour with Exumer through Argentina, Chile and Brazil.

Exumer's management is now working on on a European installment of the Exhumer/Artillery package and are planning additional dates with both bands throughout Europe in September/October, 2012.

Vocalist Mem V. Stein comments: "Our South American Damnation tour was such a success for both bands, us and Artillery, that we did not hesitate to ask our management to replicate the package for Europe. This means that we have to put our North American dates, which were planned for the fall, on hold until spring 2013. There were no alternate time frames to bring both bands back out on the road and we didn't want to risk losing the opportunity altogether to bring the package to Europe."

The line up for the Rock Hard Festival Italia 2012 shapes up as follows: MARDUK, BULLDOZER, ARTILLERY, EXUMER, IMMOLATION. Many more to be announced.

Exhumer filmed their first ever official video clip in their 27-year long history earlier this month in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The clip will feature the band's title track of their latest album Fire and Damnation, which was released in April.

Vocalist Mem V. Stein commented: "It's an amazing opportunity for us to film our first video clip in a country that has a deep connection to the band since the 1980s. Our fans here in Brazil have been very vocal about us returning to play live since the band's last tour in 1988, and there is no better way to document our return to Brazil than to capture it all on camera."
