FROM SUMMER BREEZE OPEN AIR 2014 PROMOTERS:
You want bands who worship the horned one? Well, we've got something for you: KAMPAR! Thesis of Norwegian have been up to mischief since the mid nineties already, always perfecting and fine-tuning their style. It's striking how KAMPFAR's songs have become more and more majestic and powerful over time, which has obviously had on effect on their live performances. Last time the band played Dinkelsbühl in 2011, the dense, atmospheric songs had a huge impact, so the conditions for another great show in the summer of 2014 are optimal. And there will therefore be material from the brand new album 'Djevelmakt' to punish your ears... Tickets: http://www.summer-breeze.de/de/tickets/info.html

The Norwegian city of Bergen is a hotbed of the country's exciting and extremely lively scene. From precisely this city and scene hails the next confirmed band for SUMMER BREEZE 2014, SAHG!
The Norwegians' musical territory is a wide one. With their newest coup 'Delusions Of Grandeur' the band have created an awesome amalgam between a progressive concept album and catchy hits that won't leave the listener indifferent. Deeply rooted in the origins of rock music, SAHG manage to transfer tradition into the here and now, without ever sounding old-fashioned. Much the opposite is the case, something SAHG will prove with sleepwalking ease at SUMMER BREEZE 2014 in Dinkelsbühl.

Good German steel is normally associated to the Ruhr area, but the next confirmed band has proven year after year that Swabians also know how to forge molten iron: PRIMAL FEAR! The Swabians with the Canadian drummer are dedicated to the doctrine of pure heavy metal and are among the most consistent German metal bands. This might not apply to their line-up, but all the more to their music. No-frills traditional metal dressed in a modern sound; with this simple formula, Mat Sinner and Co. have managed to leave their mark, both with old-school maniacs and younger metalheads. And when Mr. Sheepers sends the hordes into battle with a powerful “Metal is Forever”, there is nothing in the way of an awesome show…

After it unfortunately didn't work out in 2013, the premiere will now be at SUMMER BREEZE 2014: Welcome to a SUMMER BREEZE premiere: BENEDICTION will do the honours for the first time in their career at your favourite festival.
With their eventful history it is actually incredible the Birmingham death metal insititution has never appeared at SUMMER BREEZE before. Now, 23 years after the release of their debut album 'Subconscious Terror', this will finally be changed. Considering the death metal pioneers long career you have to repect the fact they have never strayed from their chosen path. No trend, no fashion has been able to steer the band away from their original direction, something their loyal fanbase is eternally grateful for. Since day one BENEDICTION's brutal death metal has gone hand in hand with various punk and crust influences. And this will hopefully always stay this way. Dirty, raw and simply awesome!

Actually, it is almost incredible that the death metal institution from Birmingham has never been our guest in their turbulent history. This gap now, 23 years after the release of their debut album 'Subconscious Terror', finally. Considering the career of death metal dinosaurs, it command a respect, how little they have can dissuade from its original path.

The music of our next confirmed band not only sticks right in your brain, it also hits you straight through the heart. The kings of melody, OMNUM GATHERUM, are coming to Dinkelsbühl.
It is grandiose melodies that OMNIUM GATHERUM use in their songs. Sure thing: One goosebump moment will follow the next when the Finns turn it up in Dinkelsbühl, because the sextet has always had a knack for combining heavy riffs with beautiful, candy-coated melodies which warm your heart. It is a well-known fact that Finland has always had a great scene for this kind of melodic death metal, and OMNIUM GATHERUM are certainly among the leaders of this movement. Look forward!
