FROM WACKEN OPEN AIR 2014 PROMOTERS:
Today’s announcement is especially for the fans of martial music! 

Carcass 
For the second time ever, Carcass are coming to smash the W:O:A. The band started their extreme metal crusade at the end of the eighties but then split up in 1995. Since 2007, the band is reunited but the first album after the split up wasn’t released until this year. The new album is the sixth of the band and it’s called Surgical Steel. The band satisfied the expectations of the numerous fans which means they have successfully started their new death metal offensive! 

More about the band at Billing/Bands


After serious health problems and many cancelled shows, Lemmy played at the Black Stage in Wacken last year. But after some songs he had to quit the stage, it was just too much for him. The crowd was worried but also thankful and the “Lemmy! Lemmy” shouts got everyone goose pimples. And Lemmy wants to return! And this means we can now announce: Motörhead 
The band is true iconic for the heavy metal scene and especially band leader Lemmy was always regarded as indestructible. The strong new album Aftershock was released a few weeks before and it is already the 22nd Album of the band. And 2014 they will rock Wacken for the 8th time! 


Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal-\m/ -l-
