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.

ALESTORM - New Album Released Today + Video online

The Seven Seas were obviously not expansive enough for Captain Chris Bowes and his crew, as their third raid in the quest for booty takes them "Back Through Time". The Scottish buccaneers battle not only narrow-minded landlubbers and enemy privateers, but also foul-tempered Vikings! They bring the soundtrack to this epic clash of cultures with them and refine their recipe for success as gentlemen o' fortune with brand-new ingredients. Catchy melodies and fanfare call out from the ship's stern, along with a number of other authentic instruments including violins, accordions and diverse horns. To add rampage to the mix, metal riffs attack on deck to complete this Fiddler's Green of irresistible sing-along anthems and party songs.


With Captain Chris holding steady at the helm, the tracks are further enhanced with his vocal flair. Songs like "Shipwrecked", "Rum", and "Midget Saw" contin ue the band's seadog tradition, while further developing its sound. "Death Throes of the Terrorsquid" is the epic conclusion to the album. The approximately 8-minute-long song earns its title and shows the band from a rarely seen, yet extraordinarily becoming perspective. Again, fifth band member Lasse Lammert has taken on the production responsibilities at LSD Studios, and through his countless feats merits the title of First Mate. The images of the talented Ingo Römling / Monozelle also continue to embellish this release. If the old wives tale holds true and the third album decides a band's fate, Alestorm can look forward to glorious and rum-guzzling times ahead. The third time's a charm indeed! "Back Through Time" will be released as a digibook including 2 bonus tracks and as deluxe box set edition including digibook and an exclusive Captain Morgan pendant.


Their new album “Back Through Time “ was released TODAY, June 3! ALESTORM will be playing at METALCAMP 2011, don´t miss it!
