Swedish doom metal legends Count Raven have sadly announced they will not perform on Hellfest Open Air this afternoon (June 19th). This due to the fact that band member Dan Fondelius was brought to the hospital on Wednesday due to gastro intestinal condition. Doctors declared that due to the symptoms, he will have to undergo a complete medical exam and that he is in no condition to perform.
The band had with eager anticipation looked forward to attend Hellfest. Though the band thanks everyone who worked to get them there very much, and wishes them all good luck with the festival.

Original news, posted on 03.06.2010
Once again it hasn't been easy to keep our original line up and we're sorry to announce the cancellation of three bands: 7 SECONDS, NACHTMYSTIUM and EARTH CRISIS.
7 Seconds, by reason of family issues, (see the band's official statement below) will not play in June and will be replaced by the British hardcore punk band Discharge. One legend will be replaced by another one!
Earth Crisis, which was paired on the road with 7 Seconds, will also cancel their tour and will be replaced by the glamorous 69 Chambers. The Swiss will switch their place with Tamtrum and will play on Friday at 11:05 am on the Main Stage 2. Tamtrum will play Saturday at 11:40am while Born From Pain will take the place of Earth Crisis under the Terrorizer Tent.
Finally, Nachtmystium has decided to focus on its U.S. tour and will be replaced by new "industrial-goth" sensation from Switzerland, Sybreed.
!!! WARNING !!!
Only 15 days remain before the beginning of the fest and we're nearly sold out ! 90% of the tickets have been already sold!!! You now know what you have to do if you want to attend Hellfest. Don't waste anymore time. Buy your tickets and we'll see ya in 15 days! -- The Hellfest Team
UPDATED on 05.06.2010
Also, don't forget that two line-up changes happened previously:
Overkill will not play at Hellfest, and they will be replaced by 36 Crazyfists, the famous metalcore American band which already convinced us with an excellent concert in 2006 at the first Hellfest!
Finally, Atheist has taken the decision to cancel their European tour and their performance at Hellfest for some professional reasons as you could read below. Atheist will be replaced by Sadist, the famous Italian Death Thrash Progressive metal masters who will perform at Hellfest for their first time.
Official statement from Atheist: "We are really sorry to everyone, but we regret to inform that we have to pull out of our upcoming shows in Europe to focus and finish our new album. for us to take time out to rehearse, and prepare for those shows, and take time away from our new record, just does not make any sense for the band. We apologize for this because we have never intentionally canceled anything in our career, and we cannot wait to get back over and make it up to you all. We think it makes more sense for us to get in the studio in june as opposed to playing just 4 shows of the same material that you have all seen us play already, especially at hellfest where we had one of our greatest moments as a band. We want to come with our new album and blow minds, so this is the best decision in the process of making this happen. The new material is so exciting and ferocious we cannot wait for the world to hear it. We hope you will understand and we will be back with a new set of tunes to boggle your brain. we are set to enter the studio in the very end of june and into july, so you will be hearing new Atheist as soon as possible."

The full line up was announced on the 25th February, but sometimes surprises can happen! We're pleased and proud to announce that the legendary guitarist of Guns n' Roses and Velvet Revolver SLASH has just confirmed his participation at HELLFEST on Saturday 19th June along with ALICE COOPER, TWISTED SISTER, etc?
Many of you (like us to be honest!) thought that the bill was definitely closed and that there wouldn't be any more additions, but what could we do? Could we refuse to see such a legend on the festival's stage? We decided to give you this little gift which will, for sure, satisfy all the fans of hard rock.
SLASH will be accompanied by famous musicians such as Myles Kennedy (Alter Bridge), Bobby Schenck (Slash's Snakepit / Aerosmith), Todd Kerns (Age Of Electric / Sin City Sinners) and Brent Fritz (Theory Of A Deadman / Alice Cooper). He will play songs from his latest solo album and classics of Guns n' Roses and Velvet Revolver.
HELLFEST will be upon us in less than 80 days and tickets are selling really well. This gives us high hopes that the festival should be sold out in advance! You know what you have to do now!

A blog has been created to support Hellfest, following the smear campaign orchestrated by Catholic fundamentalists. Here's the translation of their opening post:
"Please note that following an increase in attacks by the CNI, UMP, UNI and Catholic fundamentalists, the festival of extreme rock music "Hellfest" is in danger.
Indeed, these organizations oppose the communities' financial support (Regional Council, General Council, Municipality) toward Hellfest (which represents only 2% of total budget).
A minority of conservative activists organized a campaign amalgam (desecration = metal = Satanism) to these communities and private partners (Coca Cola and Kronenbourg).
Thousands of messages were sent to both public and private partners.
The result was swift: Coca Cola disengaged from Hellfest, and the "Ouest France" newspaper reduces its editorial line concerning Hellfest.
A blog was set up to try to stop this smear campaign.

You'll find the various support actions under way for which your participation is more than required.
Best regards,
Hellfest Freedom Committee"
Well, it's all in French, but the actions they propose right now are to do some lobbying, as the fundamentalists did. You'll find letter models to send to Cola-Cola, Ouest-France and Kronenbourg (the beers, note that they still support Hellfest) and also to the Clisson Town Council, departemental and regional councils, with the links on the same page http://prohellfest.wordpress.com/actions-pour-le-festival/operation-de-soutie/.
