hell bent for metal

Well, we decided to harden the fuck up and our 2010 metal extrav­a­ganza tour will now have three stops: Wacken, Party.San and Sum­mer Breeze.

Co-incidentally, this is the same route that Sound­works Metal Fes­ti­val Travel will be tak­ing – but we’re not going with them (although it’s a good deal they’re offer­ing) as we have our own plans before and after.

In the lead up to Anti-Christmas this year, both Wacken and Sum­mer Breeze have been announc­ing a new band every day (in the case of Sum­mer Breeze, quite often two bands are announced). It’s a far cry from last year where Wacken didn’t announce any­thing at all for bloody ages and dis­ap­pointed the hell out of everyone.

We now have an absolutely insane list of bands that we could poten­tially see. Sev­eral of then we will have the oppor­tu­nity to see mul­ti­ple times. It’s absolutely brutal.
