Chicago's USURPER have just been confirmed to appear at INFERNO METAL FESTIVAL NORWAY 2006.

Taking place, as always, in Oslo between the 13th - 15th April 2006 at the Rockefeller Music Hall, USURPER join a list of heavyweights already announced including EMPEROR, CATHEDRAL, MARDUK, BOLTTHROWER, DISMEMBER, CARPATHIAN FOREST and WITCHCRAFT.

USURPER's JON NECROMANCER is already fired up even though their might be a slight problem with stage gear. On Inferno's site it clearly states: ‘Sharp spikes and studs are not allowed and will be removed at the door!'

"Obviously, Usurper is incredibly psyched at the opportunity to play in Europe again, especially at a fest as killer as Inferno. The line-up looks incredible this year, and we are bringing a 75 minute set packed with new songs, as well as some "oldies" going back to the demo era that we haven't played live in over 10 years! Scandinavia has always been supportive of us, especially in the early years, and we intend to do our best to repay the favor!"
