What a summer this is turning out to be…
Seigmen DVD from the Opera gigs, Ljungblut photobook + CD, and a bunch of Seigmen festival gigs!
Festidalen just announced Seigmen as a headliner on Friday August 3rd. That means that we’ve got 5 confirmed concert dates for this summer:
19/07/12 – Slottsfjell Festival, Tønsberg
20/07/12 – Malakoff, Nordfjordeid
03/08/12 – Festidalen, Uskedalen
04/08/12 – RaumaRock, Åndalsnes
17 or 18/08/12 - Parkenfestivalen, Bodø
The Seigmen DVD from the two Opera gigs in 2008 is nearing completion!
Today, the audio mastering was completed – both in stereo and 5.1 surround. What’s left now, is DVD-authoring/encoding (making menus, etc…) and the printing/pressing of the actual product. If everything goes as planned, we’re looking at a release sometime in the 2nd half of June.
Oh, and – this will be a DVD release – not a Blu-Ray. The reason is quite simple: The film footage wasn’t in actual HD – so there was no point in a Blu-release. We’ve been assured that the end result will be stunning, though.
Update, May 16th: The DVD will contain all the songs they performed at the Opera gigs (unlike the Dødens Dal DVD), from the intro to the very end. There will also be a 50 minute ‘behind the scenes’ feature, from the preparations the day before, and leading up to the first concert. This will also have an optional commentary track with Kim and Sverre. Also, a still image gallery and the Monument intermezzo video.
Pretty exciting, or what?
That’s right – Seigmen will play at the Parken Festival in Bodø!

Schizo ’92!
On this date 20 years ago, April 10th 1992, Seigmen had the release-party for their very first CD ‘Pluto’ at a club called Diva. (see ticket scans below)
Celebrate in style, and listen to the album/ep in it’s entirety today! Don’t have it? Check it out on Spotify.

1st big review: ‘Åpenbaringen’ – ‘The revelation’
As we’ve suspected here at IP for a while now: Seigmen will return next year! They are the first band to be released for Tønsberg’s own Slottsfjell festival, which celebrates it’s 10th anniversary next July.

We did it!
In little over three days, we managed to get 800 signatures! This means that the production has now been green-lit: Sometime next year, we will get a Blu-Ray and/or DVD from Seigmen’s Opera gigs!
We’ll keep the petition going, though, until we reach 1000. So if you haven’t signed up yet, you still have a chance. Remember that everyone who pre-order will get the Blu-Ray / DVD fully signed by the band, and before the release date.

Three years ago, Seigmen played two concerts at the Norwegian Opera House.
These concerts were so special, that they made sure to capture them to tape and video. While there were no immediate plans to do something with this material, the fans have been waiting, and asking, for a proper video release.
And now, finally, the wait may soon be over… if you want it to.
If we can get at least 800 fans to sign this petition, and commit to buy a Blu-Ray (and/or DVD), it will be released sometime in the first half of 2012.
We will need your full name, your email adress, and a mobile phone number, for updates and messaging. Only your name will be displayed on the site, and the rest will be handed over to Seigmen’s management when/if we reach 800 signatures.
Everyone who signs this, and committs to buy this release, will receive a fully signed Blu-Ray (and/or DVD), before it becomes officially available for purchasing.
The price will be around 250 Norwegian Kroner, plus postage, but at this point, there is no payment involved.
Preview video:
Many people have been asking for a DVD from the amazing gigs Seigmen did at the Norwegian Opera house three years ago.
Has the wait finally ended? No… but tomorrow, we will get some long awaited details about the potential future of this highly anticipated release.
Oh, and there will be a video, as well. A long one. Watch this space at 19.00 (Norwegian time) tomorrow!
