13 May: Goodbye Anders, we hardly knew ye. Drummers seem to come and go, don’t they? Anyway, “We are in the position to announce that due to the distance between us, we came to a conclusion that we can’t continue working with Kobro behind the drum kit. Kobro during the last months was a precious help and Den Saakaldte thank him for his services and dedication. The new album though is going to be rehearsed and worked a lot and the Kristiansand-Oslo distance makes our goal unreachable. We will have to start the searching for a new drummer that will be located in Oslo, soon. We will get back with news when we have news.”

18 March: “Den Saakaldte & Pantheon I will be appearing at a special event at the Azijnfabriek, Roermond, Netherlands on Sunday 21 March. Both bands will play special sets and there will be a meet and greet where you will be able to meet all the band members and share a beer or two (or more!) Anyone with tickets to the Taake/Horna/Den Saakaldte/Panethon I event on Saturday, will get free entry on Sunday. The event kicks off at 16:00.”
15 February: “We regret that we have to cancel our appearance at the Barther Open Air Festival on the 20th August, due to schedule clashes for some of the band members. All other dates remain unchanged. For 2010 there is one more date to be announced in the near future and that is for MEXICO, as Den Saakaldte is crossing the atlantic for one show. More info on this later on. No other gigs are or will be planned for this year.” (they don’t mean the European gigs, 5 of which are still posted)
16 January: digipak CD officially released. It’s one of the best-looking packages I’ve ever seen, apart from the photo of Sykelig (joking!).
14 January: weird tour date cancellations reduce upcoming shows to 5 from the original 13. Not sure why, though online slots probably have nothing to do with it.
6 January: Live dates are announced, and details come out on the two extended versions of the first album Øl, Mørke og Depresjon (Digipak CD and gatefold LP, with bonus tracks and new artwork by Sykelig). Anders Kobro (Carpathian Forest) takes over on drum duties. Voted among the “Best Newcomers” by the readers of Terrorizer.
