WATAIN to release first ever DVD

The swedish black metal gods Watain are proud to announce that on the 7th of May 2012, the first Watain film will be released. Its title will be Opus Diaboli. Opus Diaboli is the commemoration of Watain's 13 year Anniversary. A visual and audial documentation of the ceremonial concert performance in Stockholm and the long years of physical, intellectual and spiritual work leading up to it.
90 minutes of wildhearted Satanic Metal!

Two versions will be made available; one regular DVD that apart from the DVD will also contain two bonus CDs including the audio recording of the full 13 Year Anniversary concert in Stockholm.
The second version of Opus Diaboli will be a limited vinyl box including the DVD, 2 audio CDs with the live recording, 2 LPs with the live recording, and last but definitely not least a historical photobook containing old flyers and never seen photos, most of them taken off stage.

This will be the first release of Watain's own label, His Master's Noise. Both versions are now available for pre-order through the official merch store WOLF WEAR.

The band comments;
˝This movie was first meant to be the recording of our 13 Year Anniversary concert, but as everything with Watain it took on a life on it`s own and became one of our most ambitious projects to date. It is a very personal and emotional piece of work and certainly not for the faint at heart. But for those who wish to explore the glimmering abyss of Watain further, this will be a rewarding release for sure.

Apart from the movie, we are also very proud of the photobook that comes with the box set. It was an overwhelming experience going through the massive archives in search of the photos that best summed up the storm of passionate turmoil that has been our journey,
especially since we wanted to stay away from live photos and focus more on moments off stage. The result was however very satisfying, a rare and spicy mixture of photos of which most have never been published before.

We can also announce that this will be the first release on our own label ˝His Master`s Noise˝, a name originating from Bathory's mastermind Quorthon who had it in mind for his own label back in the early 1980s. Just like with our own merch store wolfwear.net, this time we have chosen to stand by our own and do things our way, without corporate hands between us and our supporters.˝
