![Dark Force Fest 2027 Band Announcement:
ICON OF COIL [Norway]
In 1997, Andy LaPlegua founded Icon of Coil in Fredrikstad, Norway, initially built around a logo and visual concept before music took over. He brought in Sebastian R. Komor, a past collaborator from Sector 9 (now Moonitor), who became a full-time member after debut single "Shallow Nation" sold out its first pressing in two weeks, landing a deal with Tatra Records.
The band toured Germany supporting Apoptygma Berzerk in 2000, the year "One Nation Under Beat" hit #3 on the Deutsch Alternative Chart. Christian Lund joined as a live member that spring, completing the trio. Their debut album, Serenity Is the Devil (Nov. 2000), also reached #3 on the DAC and was released in North America by Metropolis Records, leading to a scrappy first US tour in 2001 that built a devoted following. That summer they played major European festivals including Wave-Gotik-Treffen, Infest, and M'era Luna.
"Situations Like These" became a club hit, fueling a second North American tour with VNV Nation in late 2001. Their sophomore album, The Soul Is in the Software (2002), topped the DAC chart for weeks, followed by 2004's Machines Are Us and the remix set Uploaded and Remixed.
The band then went on indefinite hiatus as Andy LaPlegua focused on Combichrist, though Icon of Coil reunited for a 2011 Australian tour and released the single "PerfectSex" in 2012, and is currently working on new material.
This rare performance is Icon of Coil's first US show since 2023.
Icon of Coil will also be hosting a meet and greet for vip ticket holders.](https://s12.imginn.com/845483952_18051869657811876_4947128170898204662_n.webp?t51.82787-15/845483952_18051869657811876_4947128170898204662_n.webp?stp=dst-webp_p1179x1179&_nc_cat=109&ig_cache_key=NDAwNjQwNjEzMTcxNDEwOTEzNg%3D%3D.3-ccb7-5&ccb=7-5&_nc_sid=58cdad&efg=eyJ2ZW5jb2RlX3RhZyI6IkZFRUQueHBpZHMuMTQ0MC5zZHIucmVndWxhcl9waG90by5DMyJ9&_nc_ohc=5-Z4veprygkQ7kNvwEvhyPa&_nc_oc=AdpsiU8c-aw9dS5qPcGsCdnWYSjmfbYKUDvwmXOkmfuxc0xVV-XYGOFRD5jgp3xU4aX0rhjPIYRy0cum4gh9Wu9j&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-ord5-1.cdninstagram.com&_nc_gid=HuyCQivbI4eIEv47WDVTEw&_nc_ss=70689&oh=00_AQPo-d4xe8AFQVb6miPFAyKf4MUNIalsay13_TIJcqxsOQ&oe=6AD82BC1)
