METALFEST OPEN AIRS 2011 - CRIMES OF PASSION Confirmed

Crimes Of Passion are a Yorkshire based five piece melodic metal band consisting of Dale Radcliffe on vocals, Charles Staton & Harry Griffiths on guitars, Simon Fearn on bass and Kev Tonge on drums. C.O.P. have a unique style that captures the intensity and power of modern metal and seamlessly blends it with our love for hooky classic rock choruses and melodies. Due to their varied influences, they have a diverse fan base and past itinerary, with support slots for the likes of TNT, Gotthard, Glen Hughes, Great White, White Lion, Tim ‘Ripper’ Owen and right through the rock genre to Obituary! Don´t miss their show at METALFEST 2011!
