Brotherhood of the Black Hole

Okkultokrati and Haust don't play together as much as we should, but for the next two weekends we've lined up two special shows. On Saturday 7th, we'll head to Haust's hometown of Notodden to be a part of the legendary Bluesfestival happening that weekend. We'll play an "alternative" stage in the city center - located across the street from Carbiden pub according to Vebjørn. Get ready for some white trash extravaganza.

Friday the 13th of August is the release show for both "Powers of Horror" and "No Light for Mass" - the two recent full lengths we put out during the summer. The show will happen at Mandelbrot in Oslo, around midnight - after the action at the Øya Festival is done. Doors open at 23:00, and it only costs 50 kroner. Both Haust - "Powers of Horror" and Okkultokrati - "No Light for Mass" will be available on CD, vinyl, and tape this night. It's gonna be one hell of a party so make sure to be there in time. Click here for a map showing the location of the venue.

Contrary to what was announced earlier, Okkultokrati will NOT play the Camp:Indie stage at Øyafestivalen Wednesday 11th due to some unfortunate misunderstandings. Sorry for this cancellation, but the show at Mandelbrot will make up for it. If you're going to the Øyafestival, make sure you catch killer acts like Fucked Up, Obliteration, The Stooges, Trash Talk, and The Specials.
