Sonnenmensch a écrit:Pierre, c'est sur que c'est pas ce qui manque en France ... Ce qui manque ce sont des organisateurs et des moyens - Pas facile , facile. Surtout que le Black Metal underground, malheureusement, tout le monde s'en tape et que c'est un pari risqué et de l'autre coté tu as les antifascistes qui voient le mal partout.

NIGHTBRINGER (Usa) is replaced by TROLL (Nor)
Unfortunately NIGHTBRINGER are not able to perform this year but we will stay in contact to bring them to Under The Black Sun 2010. Meanwhile we have found a worth replacement which is TROLL from Norway. Back on stage after 7 years they will bring a special setlist for this event which consist of tracks from the "Trollstorms Over Nidingjuv" EP + the infamous "Drep De Kristne" album and some songs of the brand new album only. Be sure you won't miss this unholy ritual!

LIFELOVER (Swe) cancelled
Replacement will be announced soon.

We are deeply sorry to inform you that we have been forced to cancel our gig at the Under The Black Sun Festival that was going to take place on the 4th of July. As you may know, we have had some changes in our line-up recently; our live drummer left and was replaced by a new, stable drummer. Prior to this, we lost our rehearsal space due to reconstructions. These circumstances have made it impossible for us to rehearse with our new drummer.

We are currently searching tirelessly for a new place to rehearse, and it looks like we will be able to obtain new premises in the beginning of July. But sadly, that’s too fucking late for us to be able to perform at UTBS. We know that many people have been looking forward to this (us included) and we couldn’t possibly be more sorry about what has happened. However, we truly hope that you understand that there is nothing we can do about this. We promise to make this up to you in every conceivable way, and our goal will be to never have to cancel a show again.

As you can see, we have a couple of new gigs booked. Some of these are in Germany, and in fact, one will take place in Berlin. We deeply wish for those of you who affected by this cancellation to attend one of these gigs instead, and we’ll do everything in our might to make those nights as memorable as possible.

We sincerely apologize to our fans, the organizer of UTBS, and everyone else involved for this terrible mishap.

Apologizes and regards,
Lifelover

THE ONE (Grc) confirmed for UTBS 2009

To replace the cancelled LIFELOVER we are glad to tell you that Greece Black Metal act THE ONE is now confirmed for Under The Black Sun 2009. They have played an impressive mini tour with ONDSKAPT in Germany earlier this year and all who have seen them before know what to expect: a great occult atmosphere and pure audial terror.

Just a few words to all maniacs out there:

It seems like this years festival is cursed now that LUGUBRE cancelled their gig too. I have removed all flyers from this MySpace profile because it's ridiculous to have them online while so much of the bands will not play this year. It's laughable for the reasons most of the bands have cancelled and the way they let you and us know about it. We are deeply sorry about all this shit.

We will have new bandcontracts for next year to make sure this will never happen again.

Stay Dark

LUGUBRE (NL) cancelled, GHEESTENLAND (NL) added

It seems like this years festival is cursed now that LUGUBRE had to cancel their gig too. Here's an official statement of the band:

Fjildslach wounded in accident
I am very fucking sorry to tell you guys that our drummer has wounded his foot, in a work related accident, with a infection as result. This means he will not be able to practise his works of carnage the next coming weeks. As result of this, we will not be able play at UTBS festival this year....

Asegeir/Lugubre

We want to make clear that there is no bad blood between us and the band even if it may have sounded like that. Accidents happen, we are all only humans (are we?) and we are still proud to have LUGUBRE as a strong part of the Folter family! They will return to European stages when the new album is released so watch out!

Now GHEESTENLAND from Holland has been added to the lineup and will spread their vision of darkness as opening act on saturday. Check the new running order.
