An unprecedented show of epic proportions was announced earlier today, as Norwegian extreme metal bands Dimmu Borgir, Satyricon, and Enslaved announced they’ll be sharing a stage this Halloween for what should be one of the biggest black metal shows ever hosted by Norway.
The unholy trio of bands will unite at the Oslo Spektrum to highlight the power of Norway’s most diabolical musical export. Dubbed the “Unholy Halloween”, the show is being billed as a “once-in-a-generation” event.
Dimmy Borgir’s guitarist Silenoz said this show is more than the sum of its parts, calling it a “statement” on the importance of Norwegian black metal.
“This is more than a concert – it’s a statement. A celebration of a culture we’ve helped build over decades. Sharing the stage at Oslo Spektrum with bands that have been part of that same journey feels both powerful and necessary.”
Each band spoke about the importance of that night’s event. For Dimmu Borgir’s Shagrath, this show is special because it’s taking place at the same location they headlined a show with the Norwegian Radio Orchestra 15 years ago.
“We’re releasing our new album Grand Serpent Rising this spring, followed by extensive touring across Europe and other markets. By the time we return to Norway, we’ll be ready to deliver something truly massive. Since it’s been so long since our last headline show at home, we’re going all in. This will be the biggest Dimmu Borgir production to date.”
Similarly, Satyricon’s Sigurd Wongraven expressed their excitement about the event:
“It’s been over 20 years since I first explored the idea of bringing together some of the giants of Norwegian black metal on the biggest stages in Europe. We never made it happen back then. Now, two decades later, it’s finally becoming a reality – and on a scale beyond anything we imagined. This will be our Super Bowl.”
Finally, Enslaved’s Ivar Bjørnson said he and his bandmates won’t be outplayed by the other two bands:
“We are very excited about being invited to be part of this massive endeavour; which will celebrate the leading edge of Norwegian Metal on the appropriate scale! We will bring our best game as always… and then some!”
Tickets go on sale to the general public this Friday, April 10 at 10 CEST.
