MORE EXTREME METAL FESTIVALS: MAYHEM IN MAY (KENTUCKY, USA) HOLE IN THE SKY FESTIVAL NORWAY



Yes, before you know it, the ground hog has turned metal and says, let there be spring, warm weather and thank the metal gods and goddesses for extreme brutal metal. More metal festivals for the spring and summer of 2009: Norways HOLE IN THE SKY FESTIVAL 8/26-29 (Bergen, Norway), and Kentucky's "MAYHEM IN MAY FESTIVAL" 5/30/09 @ The Bulldog Cafe
10619 West Manslick Road
Fairdale, Kentucky.

FROM HOLE IN THE SKY ORGANIZERS: VOIVOD, AURA NOIR and PORTRAIT are the first three confirmed bands for the Hole in the Sky festival (a.k.a. Bergen Metal Fest X), set to take place August 26-29, 2009 in Bergen, Norway.

Commented the festival organizers: "VOIVOD is coming to Bergen, how great is that? VOIVOD, the inventors of disharmonious psychedelic trash metal, have been an immense influence on the modern metal scene. The impact of their scary and catchy soundscapes on Norwegian extreme metal is often underrated in my eyes. Listen to 'Virus', listen to 'De Mysteriis...', to any era ENSLAVED or whatever — VOIVOD's there, lurking and rule-breaking."

AURA NOIR's Apollyon said in a statement: "AURA NOIR's third performance at the Hole In The Sky will be a very special one, both for the band and the audience. Aggressor will be ringside for the first time in his life, whilst Jehmod (BLOODTHORN) is filing in on drums. This will also be the second time we're playing with VOIVOD. Last time we were an annoying local support in Oslo, 1997. But the band still found it worthwhile to watch our set. AURA NOIR are huge fans of VOIVOD, there's extremely little doubt about that. I'm counting on Hole In The Sky presenting another year with a knock-out program, crushing most other indoor festivals out there. Wir freuen uns!"For more information, visit www.holeinthesky.no.
