Valhalla Touring are proud to present from the Cold Dark Depths of Norway Mortiis with special guest NZ Black Metal Whirlwind, Windswept BM
MORTIIS needs no introduction to the Metal world, famous for being the bass player in early Emperor official , has since carved a long and respected career in the Dark Dungeon Synth world for the last 3 + decades. Mortiis has performed in Aotearoa New Zealand before as a solo one man show, but this time Aotearoa will be treated to something very special... he will be bringing his band with him for the very first time, performing songs from The Smell Of Rain album and other volumes of Dystopian Despair. This is a first and not to be missed.

Wellington's very own black metal powerhouse , are locked in to bring their unholy chaos to the stage as the official support on both shows. Their debut album 'Howling in Baptismal Filth' recently released on US label 'Northern Void Records' has made a big impact, debuting on the official Aoteoroa music charts
