EMPEROR confirmed for Beyond The Gates 2019!
Emperor will finally, after 22 years, return to Bergen and headline the 2019 edition of Beyond The Gates, in the city where they recorded their classic albums “In The Nightside Eclipse” and “Anthems To The Welkin At Dusk”.
The festival comments:
Beyond the Gates are immensely proud to be able to present Emperor official as the headliner for our 2019 edition.
Their performance will mark 22 years since the revered band last played in Bergen. Symbolically enough during their “Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk” concert cycle, the album will be performed in its entirety during their Beyond the Gates appearance.
Emperor’s connection to Bergen has deep roots as both the ground breaking “In the Nightside Eclipse” and the successor “Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk” was record in the legendary Grieghallen studios. Two albums that has meant more to the development of the black metal art-form than you could ever imagine.
The show at Beyond the Gates will be one of a select few concerts the band has announced for next year and the only one in Norway.
How often do you get to see Emperor in an indoor club setting?
