2016 we
decided to give all your demonic spirits a new home during Wacken and
gather on TWO stages for ONE night the hardest, fasted and blackest
bands from our bill. Appropriately we called that evening “Night To
Dismember” because at the same time our Thursday mainstage motto, where
we unite classics and legends is as you know “Night To Remember”.
So far so good! For the 5th time we stepped into the abyss and salvaged
the blackest of thee black and we are sure these names and artists will
make your blood freeze and fire up your cold hearts at the same time!
Here are the candidates for our nocturnal descent into the depth of
hell, please welcome to the line-up, playing on the “Night To Dismember”
Abbath
You
don't have to say many words about Olve Eikemo - he does that himself!
And that very well. His quote "There is a special place for me in hell -
the throne" has become legendary. Just like his old band, which
undoubtedly belongs on the winners' podium, to the Unholy Trinity of the
BM. But Immortal with Abbath is history and he cements that
with hismeanwhile third already legendary album Dread Reaver on which
he give his and our demons a pretty good shake.
If not already
towards destination hell, Abbath for sure is on the highway to
Metal-Mount Olympus. With a stopover in Wacken of course.
Carpathian Forest
Blood, Sex and Vomit paved his way: This is what he biography of
Nattefrost, Carpathian Forest's central protagonist, could be
called! Hardly any other band has dealt with the cultural assets of
black metal in their stage shows as aggressively as these Norwegians.
Already in 2004 they caused pleasant horror during their
show at what was probably one of our darkest editions of the festival.
19 years later the band is hungry like never before. Shall
be interesting to see what hellfire they are going to ignite at the
Night to Dismember!
Defleshed
In 12
years of band history, Defleshed really managed to build up a cult
following. The faces of the fans were correspondingly angry when the
band announced their exitusin 2005. To this day fans are still
scratching at Lars’ door and demanding a reunion. That year, Defleshed's
flesh finally became weak and they headed into the studio. It
worked out so well that they not only spat out a new
album, named appropriately "Mind over Matter", but the fire was was
back to shake up the stages as the old gang. No better place for that
than WOA!
Baest
We will lower the
average age on stage a bit this evening with Baest from Denmark. Founded
in 2015 musically they are at least as brute as their grey-haired
colleagues. Baest means animal in Danish, and we realize we are also
dealing with quite a hellhound. On their way towards the inferno
following on the footsteps of the forefathers Morbid Angel, Baest still
packed a big, fat suitcase with their very own style. Check it out!
Whoredom Rife
You might
think the band with the tame name Whoredom Rife arrived straight from
1992 in their time machine. True Norwegian Black Metal fans surely are
going to warm their black hearts on this one. Their tracks are
mainly kept in their mother tongue, so one can only guess what dark
visions are hiding behind the lyrics here. But one thing is clear, the
two masterminds V.Einride and K.R. will not do so to well at your
parents' christmas table. Nor should they. They fit the WOA Night to
Dismember much better - and hopefully they won't take the motto too
literally.
Koldbrann
One
of Koldbrann's members writes autopsy reports for morgues, but that's
probably just the icing on the BM-cake baked by these dark fellows from
Norway. Koldbrann, which translates to “gangrene” in English, will
probably grind its way into marrow and bone like such. This one will be
50 shades of black to punch your headlights out. No surprise here:
Singer Mannevond is no stranger in the dark circus, he also likes to
spread black vibrations at the slaughterhouse institution Urgehal.
Immolation
Hardly any marriage lasts as long these days as the musical connection
between Ross Doland and Robert Vigna. The two forefathers of their
growling monsterbrat Immolation have been holding the reins since 1986
when it comes to dominating the kingdom of so-called New York Death
Metal. Not to say: And who invented it? Immolation! Therefore, there is
no need for a big introduction, but rather a small but important hint:
Check out Immolation's latest work Acts of God and practice singing
along to welcome the kings back on our stage accordingly!k zu liefern.
We hope that we have made a lot of you happy with this Halloween gift!
yours
W:O:A team
