Abbath Announces First North American Show At Heavy Montreal

Abbath has announced his new band's first-ever North American performance. The Norwegian black metal icon recently signed to Season of Mist and will perform on the main stage of this year's Heavy Montreal Festival in Canada on August 8th.

Having recently departed from Immortal to form a new band under his own name, Abbath is currently working on his debut album for Season of Mist, which is expected to be ready early 2016.

Bass duties will be handled by a man familiar to metal fans across the world – Tom Cato Visnes, more widely known as King ov Hell and main composer for several Gorgoroth albums as well as his own bands Ov Hell and God Seed. His fellow God Seed member and Borknagar sticksman Baard Kolstad will be joining on drums. See Abbath and crew on these dates:
