Metalfest Open Airs 2012 BEHEMOTH and ALESTORM confirmed

BEHEMOTH
Embraced by science-fiction-inspired occultism, BEHEMOTH - the Polish kings of extreme metal – follow the art of high technical, sophisticated and zestful death metal with vital black metallic elements. Especially within the last years, Poland’s metal-triumphators BEHEMOTH have made their way up and outscored many dominant high class acts of the scene. After years of intensive touring and constantly releasing successful albums with international chart-success, the mystical circle around Nergal and his followers Seth, Orion and Inferno has finally reaped the fruits of their hard work. Now BEHEMOTH stand on top of the death/black-genre, ready to unleash a historic bedlam to this earth! METALFEST 2012 will be the first Open Air events for BEHEMOTH after the cured leukaemia-disease of Nergal. Their live show is going to be an intense spectacle, that´s for sure! So you better don´t miss it! 

The music video for the track „Lucifer“ off BEHEMOTH’s 2009 release „Evangelion“ can now be seen here:www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXFjZvWgaeI

ALESTORM
Once again, Scottish drinking pirates of ALESTORM are about to board their pirate ship and preapre for takeover. The barrels of rum are stored, the sabers are sharpened and the captain’s cabin is decorated for party! Christopher Bowes, master of these buccaneers, and his crew have a freshly carved acoustic-treasure titled “Back Through Time” ready, which had already been opened for you to hear at Heidenfest tour 2011. Doubtlessly you have to love “True Scottish Pirate Metal” – there’s hardly another subgenre that reaches to pleasure the masses like it does. Don’t miss this upcoming, excessive party at METALFEST 2012, so be there and dance, drink and party with ALESTORM!
