hell bent for metal

I try to read the Wacken forums every day to get any new snip­pets of infor­ma­tion… a recent post stated that the total tick­ets sold in the first four weeks was around 25,000! 10,000 of those sold in the first 24 hours of sales! That is an insane num­ber and given the shows capac­ity is 65,000, I am sure they will sell out very quickly. It’s not often you have a 20th birth­day after all… \m/

The sec­ond band announce­ment was made last week, and it is old school met­allers Cathe­dral. While I haven’t heard much of their stuff in the past, what I have heard, I like a lot. This is what I love about Wacken – see­ing bands you’ve heard of but not nec­es­sar­ily paid too much atten­tion to in the past. I’ve been lis­ten­ing to var­i­ous bits of Cathe­dral over the last week and I must say, I’m psy­ched to see them!
