“One really cool thing is that we’ll come to Ukraine for the first time. We’re really looking forward to that. Well, we’ll do our outmost best to give you all an unforgettable experience and a dive into the pagan. Hopefully you all will enjoy the show and our audible and visual pagan art. I guess the most special thing we do is to use a live video jockey on our gigs. He really fulfills the atmosphere and gives that extra edge to the experience.” – V’gandr / HELHEIM
“I will perform the re-interpretation of the “Andean Som Gjorde Opprør” album. Expanded and improved. Same as the COLD MEAT INDUSTRY festival for example. This is basically what I do at this time, with Era 1 MORTIIS. I show a lot of exclusive artwork that is inspired by the MORTIIS world, by David Thierre. I must admit I don’t know a lot about Ukraine I obviously am aware of the troubles around the Crimea area, I am aware of Tchernobyl, and really wanted to go there and check it out, but I found out Kharkiv is really far away, so that won’t happen. I’ve never been to Ukraine before, so looking forward to that though. Looking forward to doing the show, and maybe I’ll meet some of you before or after the show. I try to hang around a bit, and not act like a total rock star!” – MORTIIS
“We’re probably going to play material from “Negative Megalomania” onwards, with a focus on the last album. I hope the show will be good and with lots of people. See you there!” – Herr Morbid / FORGOTTEN TOMB
