FROM METALCAMP PROMOTERS:
Attention: Cult-alert for your upcoming headbanger’s holidays! The legendary, untouchable heroes of glorified Swedish death metal will join this year’s METALCAMP edition, indulging you with best melodic belligerence from Scandinavia. AT THE GATES represent the well-known Gothenburg-style in all its catchy facets. No other band could shape this extraordinary, specific metal-sector as much as this combo and contributed to the development of many top-class followers. When you only mention the bandname, you will immediately associate classical albums like ”With Fear I Kiss The Burning Darkness”, “Terminal Spirit Disease” or the killer album “Slaughter Of The Soul” with it. Now, the sensational reunion-band has been confirmed to devastate Metalcamp, giving you a death metal-overdose as rampant as you need!
The most beautiful festival in whole of Europe presented by Noizeletter, laut.de, metalitalia.com, cmar-net.org, Stormbringer.at, Hard Rock, BLAST!
SANCTUARY confirmed
Be prepared for another cult-invasion at your headbanger’s holidays and get in position for an unique, high-class reunion-spectacular, you must not miss! Legendary 80ties-heavy/thrash metallers SANCTUARY, who became popular due to their divine rarity-album “Refuge Denied” and sealed the metal-era of the past days, will take a journey from Seattle to Tolmin. Their masterpiece, produced by none less than Megadeth-frontman Dave Mustaine, had been released in 1987 and could chalk up unbelievable resonances and successes. By today it represents a true genre-classic having no equals. So it’s no wonder that the editorial office of the German Rock Hard-Magazine listed the album on rank number 20 of the 500 best metal-releases in music history. Besides, SANCTUARY represents the precursor of the band Nevermore, so both were founded by charismatic singer Warrel Dane. Look forward to a celebration in metal-nostalgia! Get back to the roots of metal @ METALCAMP 2012.
They are one of the biggest and most influential forces in black metal: blasphemous Swedes DARK FUNERAL! “The Secrets Of The Black Arts” turned them into a household name for all lovers of raging darkness in 1996 and with more recent efforts such as „Angelus exuro pro eternus“ (2009) DARK FUNERAL are still defending the throne of evil! Recently singer Nachtgarm and bassist Zornheym joined their ranks and are turning the band into an even more well-oiled killing machine. Now the METALCAMP might be a fun and summer affair – but with the addition of DARK FUNERAL to the 2012 line up they are bound to have some storm clouds brewing…get ready for black metal from the seventh circle of hell!
METALCAMP 2012 again got a very strong line-up, having KORN, MACHINE HEAD, AMON AMARTH, SABATON, HATEBREED and many more coming to Tolmin to offer you the best possible „Headbangers Holidays“.
Today the brand new Metalcamp homepage has been launched, well-arranged, clearly and it offers even more hot facts, competitions and much more!
