"A New Battlefield" - subtitle beats last years. like some of the bands in the initial unveiling... Oranssi Pazuzu, Darkspace, Ufomammut, Solstafir... shame that New Battlefield isn't the mohave desert in the American Southwest.

Great first names.

Good to see Vanderbuyst there as well. They are totally awesome live. A true live band. And absolutely brilliant for festivals. Btw their guitarist was in a band together with Selim from The Devil's Blood quite some time ago.

The live photos with the blue green etc laser beams in the smoke are better than the band itself on stage?

I saw them at Roadburn and the band looked totally ridiculous. Okay I can live with that. But they sounded atrocious. And that at the festival/venue which has the best live sound in the world. So I fear what they will sound like anywhere else in the world if they didn't even sound half decent at Roadburn.

It's fascinating seeing Disembowelment being announced as part of Hellfest 2012, since they've been split up for so long. Well... sweet.

The only original members are the drummer and the guitarist Matthew Skarajew and actually they are only playing live some songs of Disembowelment becuase they are only representing what they did, altough they have their own compositions.
