WATAIN will celebrate its 13th band anniversary with the release of the ‚Opus Diaboli‘ DVD, out in Europe on 7th May 2012. The DVD is an audio-visual documentation if the ceremony-like live show in Stockholm as well as many years of physical, mental and spiritual work happening prior to this show. The epic work last 90 minutes and leads you into the forbidden deeps of wild and diabolic Metal showing a manifesto on an unique band going a way that not many bands did before.
The band comments the release as follows: "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 its 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.
The box version of Opus Diaboli also contains an exclusive photobook. 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 journey, especially since we wanted to stay away from livephotos 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 are also proud to announce that this will be the first release on our own label "His Master’s Noise", a name originating from Bathory who had it in mind for their own label back in the early 1980s. Just as with our merch store wolfwear.net -from which the limited box set will be available- this time we have chosen to stand by our own and do things our way."
