FROM SUMMER  BREEZE OPEN AIR 2014 PROMOTERS:
Beer, women and Harleys, these are the main themes of the next confirmed band, Oslo's own CHROME DIVISION. As is generally known, the band was formed out of a beer-buzz, due to guitarist Shagrath's love of rock'n'roll. Together with a few mates, the Dimmu Borgir singer has now been indulging his passion for almost ten years, during which the boys have released three albums, which could all convince with their mixture of stoner, rock and metal. In August you will be able to see for yourself in Dinkelsbühl that the band is also good fun in a live situation.

Melodic death metal is always cool, isn't it? That's what we thought anyway, so we decided to step up our game and book MORS PRINCIPIUM EST for all of you. Perhaps not everyone is familiar with these Finns, but when you hear their current album '...And Death Said Live' you will be impatient to hear these gripping songs live on stage in Dinkelsbühl. Because their material has everything a real melodeath lunatic desires: awesome melodies, memorable songs, straight headbangers, driving double kicks and fantastic guitar duels. So don't underestimate MORS PRINCIPIUM EST's class and check them out live at SUMMER BREEZE 2014.

Yes, there will be dancing at SUMMER BREEZE again in the year 2014, and MONO INC. will deliver the fitting soundtrack!
No matter which way you look at it, MONO INC. are definitely in the SUMMER BREEZE crowd's good books. After all, variation is the spice of life, and the German (gothic) rockers' musical output is certainly varied enough. Also as a contrast to all the brutal and extreme bands in Dinkelsbühl, MONO INC. are more than welcome to present their catchy melodies and danceable beats, so every musical taste is catered for once again at SUMMER BREEZE 2014.

The band we are announcing today has been going against the grain since the very beginning: Ladies and gentlemen, IMPALED NAZARENE!
Their musical bastard of black metal and hardcore punk, combined with hate-fueled lyrics, already stirred controversy early on, and frontman Mika Luttinen wasn't exactly helpful in shedding some light on the darkness. But, as we all know, barking dogs don't bite, so IMPALED NAZARENE are ultimately in most extreme metal fans' good books. Yet isn't it beautiful when bands don't give a shit about other people's opinions, but still deliver?! That's what IMPALED NAZARENE do, and will continue doing...

Buckle up, but properly! A hurricane is crossing over from beautiful Swabia into picturesque Bavaria: BRAINSTORM!
Those who have seen these Germans in a live situation will understand the comparison with a hurricane sweeping the stage, because BRAINSTORM were born to play live! These guys, who are already a little older, rock any stage, big or small. The band have enough first-class song material under their belts, and frontman Andy B. Franck is like a human whirlwind who gives many of his younger colleagues a run for their money. Look forward to one of Germany's best power metal bands, who will use the chance in Dinkelsbühl to present a few songs of their new album 'Firesoul', scheduled for release in 2014.

You were thinking we were leaving viking metal fans out in the rain this year? Wrong! Because our next confirmed band has been fighting on precisely this battlefield for many years: EINHERJER!
While other viking and folk metal bands rely on boring humppa and fancy costumes, EINHERJER have always stood for primordial viking metal. Any unnecessary baggage was shed right at the beginning. What counts is the rawness and nativeness. And this is precisely what makes the Norwegians attractive, both live and on record: unadulterated metal played in a gripping fashion, putting your teeth on edge. All of this you can expect if you put EINHERJER on your personal running order...

Sweden has a long tradition of bringing forth excellent melodic death metal bands. With THE UNGUIDED we have managed to book an up-and-coming band that has only been playing since 2010, but in that time has managed to draw a lot of attention. This is actually a group of experienced musicians, as some of the band members were part of the shooting star known as SONIC SYNDICATE. THE UNGUIDED's enormous potential is documented not only by their first, self-released recordings, but also by the deal they just signed with Napalm Records. Their first album on the label should be readily available before SUMMER BREEZE, so you will have enough time to familiarise yourselves with the songs.

Home match! Well, sort of, because our next confirmed band is not from Dinkelsbühl, but at least from Bavaria: DEADLOCK!
The melodic death metalists are always welcome guests at the BREEZE, on that much we can probably all agree. Their live shows are so amazing, their material so convincing, there is not really much room for criticism. With their current record ' The Arsonist' the guys and the girl have managed once again to deliver a hit album that is second to none. So there's a storm brewing for 2014 when DEADLOCK hit the stage in Dinkelsbühl's SUMMER BREEZE Open Air! Don't miss it!

The guys in BETONTOD are real anti-rockstars, and they are going to ignite a proper Deutsch-punkrock party in Dinkelsbühl in 2014.
But BETONTOD have actually been expanding their musical horizons, so ska influences or even power ballads can be found in their repertoire recently as well. Sure, this is not for narrow-minded fellows, but those who fancy a cool party with a lot of singalongs and pogo should not miss the band from Rheinberg. BETONTOD just want to have a good time with all of you at SUMMER BREEZE 2014 in Dinkelsbühl...

You want gloom and darkness? You got it! GOTHMINISTER are coming to the BREEZE!
It's undeniable that the big gothic metal boom is far past its peak, but there's still a few stoic warriors left, and for good reason. At the end of the day, quality prevails in all genres. GOTHMINISTER are one of this rare species of survivors, who have been able to maintain their status both in the goth and metal scenes, thus being able to count on a loyal fanbase. Therefore the Norwegians look forward to being welcomed by a whole armada of open arms, and who knows, perhaps GOTHMINISTER will bring a whole armada of zombies and ghouls from their concept show to Dinkelsbühl? We shall see...
