METALFEST 2011 EVOCATION, PURGATORY and POST MORTEM confirmed

DEATH METAL OVER EUROPE, well in particular over METALFEST 2011! WithEVOCATION, PURGATORY and POSTMORTEM we could confirm three real high class acts and we are looking forward to see them play like crazy! We do hope you like this combo as much as we do, and be sure that these three will take no prisoners, neither onstage nor in front of the stage.

Death til Death, three times a hard punch right into the face! Berlin´s POSTMORTEM mix their brutal Death Metal with Thrash, so this combo is even meaner and faster. Their new album „Seeds of Devastation“ was highly acclaimed by the press, check it out and you know why! EVOCATION, hailing from Sweden, play their Death Metal a bit more in a old-school kind of way, well no wonder if you consider where they come from and PURGATORY from Germany simply run over you! That´s how it´s supposed to be!

Get the full load at METALFEST 2011!

METALFEST 2011: Confirmations

DARKENED NOCTURN SLAUGTHERCULT, RAW, ULTRAWURSCHT and ANDRAS confirmed

DARKENED NOCTURN SLAUGHTERCULT

Since 1997 German Black Metallers DARKENED NOCTURN SLAUGHTERCULT are busy spreading their dark and black message on their mission and just now it was confirmed, that they´ll present their blasphemic, dark and evil black metal at METALFEST 2011 to you guys. Look forward to a ceremony of darkness with DARKENED NOCTURN SLAUGHTERCULT!

RAW

RAW was founded in 2006 and the band plays a very outstanding aggressive and tight mix from Crust, Hardcore but mainly THRASH! But it's not an unidentifiable mix of genres or another boring metalcore band. RAW are simply METAL! That´s what RAW stands for and their motto is simply but perfect: MOSH!

ULTRAWURSCHT (Austria only!)

Death/Grindcore at its finest, right out of the south of Germany as well as Austria. Normally, you gotta be careful combining these two states, kingdoms, countries (?), but ULTRAWURSCHT don´t give a flying f**k about those „rules“ but support the cosmopolitan thought. A brutal outrage of death ´n grindcore that it almost feels Napalm Death and Nasum could actually pack up their stuff and just stay home. Freaking tight, brutal, fast with old-school-riffing mean as hell and killer blast beats. Get ready and prepare for an all-out-war at METALFEST 2011!

ANDRAS (Germany only!)

Germany´s ANDRAS call their style Epic Pagan Metal and that is exactly what you´ll get in its finest and purest form from them at METALFEST 2011. Since 1994 the band has released several demos and six highly acclaimed albums. The most recent one is called „Warlord“ and was released in 2010!
