Kampfar To Release New Album
Napalm Records has issued the following announcement about Kampfar releasing a new full-length album:
"Kampfar's latest album 'Mare' opens a new chapter in the Norwegians' band history, while delivering a true monument to black metal. Frontman Dolk and the rest of the band have achieved the difficult task of giving their sound new impulses without losing their unique style. Isolated keyboard passages and sprechgesang consort with icy riffs, dark melodies, and oppressive drums. Dolk's raw vocals continue to set the pace, while giving songs like 'Bergtatt,' 'Volvevers,' and the title track such intensity that they are left with no other choice but to crawl under the skin of even the most discerning black and pagan metal fans.
"The album was produced by none other than Peter Tägtgren (Abyss Studio), who provided the songs with a piercing and very powerful sound. 'Mare' is the pagan black metal masters' best work to date and is sure to become the genre's next cult classic."

Kampfar Guitarist Leaves Band
Kampfar guitarist Thomas has posted the following statement online, announcing his departure from the band:
"After playing guitar in Kampfar for quite a few years, I have now decided to leave the band.
"I cannot even begin to sum up all the good times I've had together with my bandmates, and our close friendship will surely continue outside of the context of the band.
"I sincerely hope the guys will find another guitarist to play in the band (the riffs are not that hard to play and there are no solos, which could be seen as a plus or a minus depending on perspective.) On the stage, you'll only need to pay attention to Ask, since he knows how to keep in time. It is also best to watch out for Jon and Dolk as they are maniacs and will not stand still for a moment.
"To all the good people I've met through Kampfar. Take care and I'll see you around.
"For my brothers in the band, my love and respect as always."
Kampfar Working On New Album

2008's "Heimgang" album. The band will enter Abyss Studio with Peter Tägtgren to record the new album. Its release is expected in Spring 2011.

Kampfar Comments On Show Cancellation
Norwegian black metal band Kampfar has issued the following statement about their recent festival cancellation:
"In light of Kampfar's cancellation of the show at the Fireblade Force Festival in Liechtenstein, Germany on October 11, we feel the need to publish this explanation. This show was supposed to be the last show of our Tordenstorm tour. Unfortunately, our tour ended at the side of the road in the alps, only a few hours before we were supposed to hit the stage. Our tour bus was stopped by the Austrian police due to a mechanical problem. The bus was taken to a garage for inspection, and it was not possible to repair the problem at the time. By the time we realized that we could not continue, it was too late to find an alternative solution to take us the remaining distance. Hence, we had to make the difficult decision to call off our show at Fireblade Force. On behalf of Elite, our crew, the festival, and ourselves, we are very sorry that this was the outcome. We have come to an agreement with the organizers of the festival and will be working together in the future."
