Advent Advent – and the first candle burns! What this means for the Wacken Metalhead is pretty clear: W:O:A has revealed its first December-Sunday band announcements! To go in with a bang, we present to you two heavyweight champions.
Both Testament and Armored Saint will be joining us back on the field and everyone can probably agree that both bands were able to absolutely smash their Holy Ground gigs every time.
With the 2023 Christmas season in full swing, music fans are on the hunt for new versions of the Holiday songs they love and adore. Spirits have been lifted as word about two new Christmas metal compilations have begun to spread, A Very Metal Christmas Vols. 1 & 2. Both compilations offer refreshing and energetic versions of seasonal favorites by the likes of Rainbow’s Graham Bonnet, Megadeth’s Chris Poland, King’s X’s Ty Tabor, George Lynch, Great White’s Jack Russell, Vixen’s Janet Gardner, Angel’s Frank DiMino and many more!
Judas Priest reveal a video for track ‘Trial By Fire’ from their highly anticipated new studio album entitled ‘Invincible Shield’, which is set for release on March 8th 2024 via Columbia Records. This is the second track to be released from the album.
Today, COPENHELL adds LIMP BIZKIT, MR. BUNGLE, STEEL PANTHER, BODY COUNT, CHELSEA WOLFE, EIVØR, NIGHT VERSES, THE SCRATCH, TWIN TEMPLE, 802, DEATHBYROMY, HULDER and UNTIL I WAKE to the 2024 poster and brings the total amount of announced bands for next year’s festival to 56 – so far!
Acclaimed metal quartet SYLOSIS have released a live video ‘Pariahs’, from their latest album, A Sign Of Things To Come. The video was filmed at the band’s recent show in London supporting labelmates MALEVOLENCE.
Josh Middleton comments: “The London show was an amazing night for us. We’ve been waiting so long to play these new songs live and they’ve been going down so well- we’re performing the best we ever have! Pariahs is a live favourite for all of us.”
One of the most exciting years for the German modern metal institution is coming to an end – though Equilibrium are far from taking it slow. Ahead of their upcoming European tour with Die Apokalyptischen Reiter at the end of December, the band releases their new single ‘Cerulean Skies’ that is available on all streaming platforms now.
