SWALLOW THE SUN
The Finnish act SWALLOW THE SUN was founded in 2000 and escaped the confines of underground fame pretty quickly – they thrilled fans all over Europe with albums such as „The Morning Never Came“ (2003) or „Hope“ (2007). With each release they managed to improve and fine-tune their sweeping and emotional brand of death doom, lotsa melodies and dark concepts. Followed by well-deserved success: SWALLOW THE SUN usually can be found in the upper chart regions in Finland and fans worldwide lapped up their latest slab of melancholy “Emerald Forest And The Blackbird”! Of course they`ll also introduce some brand new tunes during their show at the METALCAMP 2012 and haunt the dreams of all lovers of somber sounds!
2nd stage bands:
BAREHANDED
BAREHANDED was formed in 2001 by Gregor Selak and Matija Čuk. The music is a mixture of different styles of metal but mainly it's oriented in death metal. In 2004 the band released its first promo called „Manipulator“. During the following years were some changes in their lineup on bass guitar and vocals, after which the music became more aggressive and unique. Afterwards they worked on new material and played plenty of concerts all across Slovenia. Now they are finishing a new album which is in the mixing process and will see the light in the end of this year. The featured songs on the album will be quite different to one another, hitting with power and full of energy which won't leave the listener indifferent but instead will charge him with pure adrenaline.
DEVIL´S BRIDGE
DEVIL´S BRIDGE´s music walks us through the nine circles of hell, but instead of groans and screaming tortured souls we are accompanied with a diverse and striking death/thrash metal. A slightly complex set of tracks provide versatility and a dynamic process which combine more pronounced and aggressive parts with sluggish and quieter moments. Luka Trpin with his powerful voice and thrash heavy metal riffs spreads evil in human hearts whereas drummer Saso Doljak raises hell himself behind the kit; together the band awaken even the most dormant dark forces. Regardless of all this darkness and morbid cruel truth, DEVIL´S BRIDGE offer a lot of positive energy on stage with which they want to reverse the subordination of evil.
SKYLINE
SKYLINE is a young and ambicious metal band from Slovenia, inspired by the likes of Edguy, Avantasia, Hammerfall and others. The band was born in 2011 when the group, previously known as Xerror, decided to give it a go and start again with a new name and style. While they were known for their glam rock style as Xerror they are now spreading the word of power metal as SKYLINE. So beware, as SKYLINE wanna make it up to the big names in Power Metal and show you metalheads what they´re cabable of!
