Tattoo The Mind 2 - Festival Cancelled
In reason of really poor tickets pre-sales (around 400 tickets had been sold instead of the 4,500 attendees needed in order for the festival to be "safe"), the Tattoo The Mind festival 2 is cancelled.
This is the message which was sent by the organizers to the band Shining (which also comment that the organization has always be honest and correct with them):
"As the organizer and producer of the TATTOO THE MIND Festival taking place the 10th & 11th of October in Metz (France), I make my own duty to give you some information about its progressing through this mail.
Only 13 days to the opening of the doors and the few pre-sales we have already scored until today for this event has been becoming very worrying.
We have sold 360 one-day tickets (for the 10th AND 11th of October altogether) + 210 two-day packages. Hence an average of less than 400 per day (or 800 for both days altogether) !!!
Yet, this festival reaches its economical balance with 4500 people coming and accumulated on both days (naturally, you have at your disposal the budget of the festival but also the current score of pre-sales).
The daily evolution of sales tends sadly to be rather unconvincing.
Therefore, we have thoughtfully and reasonably decided that cancelling the festival has become necessary. The amount of loss to come would make us unable to cope financially with our expenses and to be sure to pay every fee for instance.
I let you imagine the amount of our loss, if finally only 2000 people come these two days (hence a loss corresponding to 2500 paying tickets).
Of course, I can imagine your disappointment and even more, but be sure that this decision is not easy way to escape from our commitments. Regarding to the figures, it is obvious that the feasibility of this festival is called into question. That is why we rely on your comprehension (?)
We do regret the current progressing of the situation and offer our apologies for this annoyance.
Yours sincerely"
We sincerely regret that so few French metalheads chose to support this event and hope that the Tattoo The Mind team will find the force to come back soon with a new project. Metal Storm will be there again to support them as much as possible.

ProgPower Scandinavia - Festival Cancelled
Dear ticket-holder, booking agent, journalist, sponsor contact, music-fan and others associated with the festival,
We regretfully announce that ProgPower Scandinavia 2009 has been cancelled!
For almost a year we have been working hard on making this festival a reality and we believe that our labour has been fruitful in meeting all aspects required of a successful festival.
We have booked a more than solid roster with Pretty Maids and Candlemass as headliners; along with names such as Mercenary, Freak Kitchen, Manticora and Textures on the bill. All of these bands have established popularity in Denmark and should easily attract the Danish metal audience to our festival.
We have confirmed sponsorship/endorsement deals with a.o. Marshall, Musikpartner, Jack Daniels, Jägermeister, Cult Energy Drinks, Carlsberg and Coca Cola. We've have media support in the form of Metalized Magazine and Denmark's largest newspaper BT. We have had the collected Danish internet based metal media supporting us with banner advertisement, etc. And we've also had a lot of international promotion on metal sites in France, Romania, Bulgaria, Russia, USA, Germany and Sweden.
We have collected all the backline/event info, booked hotel rooms, gathered a lot of volunteers for crew etc. All in all, we have done everything needed in order for this festival to be a success. Nothing was left half-way-done.
However, what we are left with now is to face the facts: as of today we have sold a very limited amount of tickets to the festival, which is simply not enough to come close to breaking even on expenses. Here in Denmark, there is a tendency for people to buy their tickets as late as possible to the show. So while we could justifiably expect more sales at the door, it is not a risk that we are willing to take.
Just to prove that we have not taken this lightly:
- we have handed out more than 20,000 flyers at several big metal shows in Copenhagen in the past months (AC/DC, Motley Crue, Deep Purple, Hammerfall and at all 5 of Metallica's Copenhagen shows)
- we have handed out 2,000 flyers at Sweden Rock festival
- we have constantly been handing out flyers at Copenhagen's #1 metal venue, The Rock
- we have printed up 1,000 full size posters
- we have had advertisements (half page and full page) in the last 2 issues of DK's largest metal publication, "Metalized Magazine"
- we have had a ton of banner advertisement all over the internet-on facebook, myspace, forums/webboards, etc.

Hellfest 2009 - Day -15, Prepare Your Flags!
Here we are!
Hellfest will be upon you soon and we started building the structures under the enjoyment of nice, shiny and hot weather, let's hope that it will still be good when the festivalgoers will arrive in Clisson.
In 15 days, the festival will start and until today 14 000 tickets have been sold. 75% of the tickets are already booked and the festival will probably be sold-out! Great news!
We know that a lot of you have kept some money aside for a couple of months to be able to come to the fest but it's time to react, so act fast now!
As always Hellfest will be a real people melting-pot, because 35% of the audience will come from outside of France. More than 50 different nationalities will be at Clisson, from Argentine to Bosnia, Korea or Saudi Arabia! But our friends from Great Britain who will be the most this year since they have already bought more than 2000 3-Day tickets!
We invite all the hell-bangers from all around the world to bring along their country's flag so we can have a memorable "flag weekend"!

Hellfest 2009 - Last News And Improvements
Here the Hell we are !
Two months before the beginning of the biggest Metal festival ever organized in France we can finally give you some fresh news:
DEICIDE cancelled and will be replaced by REPULSION, one of the fathers of Grind/Death Metal. It's great to have heard about them but nothing beats seeing them live and you'll have that opportunity at Hellfest this year.
Information about special new entertainment is available at the official Hellfest site (www.hellfest.fr). Just click on the "Electric Circus" animated window to have a look at the program and schedule. More information can be found here => http://www.hellfest.fr/web08/images/animations-anglais.pdf
Despite what was written in the official program, the three headliners will get the possibility to play a real full length set. Spread some words about it: Mötley Crüe, Marilyn Manson and Manowar will not be at Hellfest for nothing and will have the right to play as long as they want (1h, 1h30 or even more!).
The official programs (in French) are released. You'll find it in French musical shops, through our street teams and in the next French Rock Hard (May/June issue). A program will be send along with each purchase from the Hellfest Shop (www.hellfestshop.com).
Finally, we're proud to tell you that the party will be great, that the ticket-sales are really good and that the festival should be sold-out before the first band plays. Don't wait any longer: Buy your tickets now !

Hellfest 2009 - Last-minute Lineup Changes!
Some changes happened on Hellfest 2009 line-up... Here is the official announcement of the festival.
"We are sorry to tell you that some changes have occurred in the line up of the festival. EDGUY, was forced to cancel because of some logistic problems, NACHTMYSTIUM's singer just broke his leg and will be out for 4 months and SLAPSHOT has postponed its tour.
Unfortunately, ASPHYX won't be able to play either due to a misunderstanding.
Do not fret! As replacements, we didn't choose 2nd tier bands? SAINT VITUS will be back to France for the first time since 1991, making Friday our "DOOMsday"! The mystic KARMA TO BURN joins the line up on the 19th of June, such a great band was a must have. Finally, BLACK STONE CHERRY and SAMAEL will also play at Hellfest 2009.
Please also note two important name changes. BLOODCLOT will tour under the name of the legendary CRO-MAGS and GORGOROTH have become GOD SEED! Both bands will play at the festival but under these new names.
Sorry again for those last minute changes, we hope that we won't need to announce any more cancelations in the future.

Hellfest 2009 - Last Confirmed Names!
Hello everybody!
Here we are! After a lot of discussions, negotiations and real headaches, we are now able to give you the last confirmed names of the 2009 festival edition.
We promised you eclecticism, and as you can see we didn't lie! Traditional heavy metal, indus, grind, glam, hardcore, prog? everything is perfectly consistent with what we want to do with the Hellfest: An extremely specialized yet open-minded event!
The presence of a few really famous bands known by a large audience didn't distract us from our goal to develop the metal genres which made the reputation of the festival. The extreme metalheads will headbang at the new ROCK HARD TENT, which can welcome up to 6,000 people and where a lot of death, black, grind and other bands will put you in a trance.
The TERRORIZER TENT will give the opportunity to the metal elitists but also to the curious metalheads to discover forgotten genres, unfortunately forsaken by the audience and the media! On this stage, hardcore, grindcore, stoner and other doom bands will defend the image and the vocation of the festival!
Let's not wait any longer, and discover the new bands which have been added to this year's festival line-up. We hope you will be delighted!
MOTLEY CRUE - MARYLIN MANSON - MACHINE HEAD - DREAM THEATER - EUROPE - QUEENSRYCHE - SOULFLY - HATEBREED - SUICIDAL TENDENCIES - DOWN - MASTODON - KILLING JOKE - CRADLE OF FILTH - EDGUY - PAPA ROACH - DRAGON FORCE - PAIN - KMFDM - VOIVOD - PAIN OF SALVATION - BUCKCHERRY - NASHVILLE PUSSY - ADX - KORITNI - SATAN JOKERS - MOONSPELL - IMMOLATION - SKINLESS - BRUTAL TRUTH - DESTROYER 666 - VADER - PIG DESTROYER - HACRIDE - TREPALIUM - BACKFIRE - PROVIDENCE - WATERTANK... all those names are added to the already long list.
That's all for now, you know everything and the final countdown officially starts today! Please note that the one-day tickets are on sale for 59? (including locative fees).
See you soon for further news!

Here we are! After a lot of discussions, negotiations and real headaches, we are now able to give you the last confirmed names of the 2009 festival edition.
We promised you eclecticism, and as you can see we didn't lie! Traditional heavy metal, indus, grind, glam, hardcore, prog? everything is perfectly consistent with what we want to do with the Hellfest: An extremely specialized yet open-minded event!
The presence of a few really famous bands known by a large audience didn't distract us from our goal to develop the metal genres which made the reputation of the festival. The extreme metalheads will headbang at the new ROCK HARD TENT, which can welcome up to 6,000 people and where a lot of death, black, grind and other bands will put you in a trance.
The TERRORIZER TENT will give the opportunity to the metal elitists but also to the curious metalheads to discover forgotten genres, unfortunately forsaken by the audience and the media! On this stage, hardcore, grindcore, stoner and other doom bands will defend the image and the vocation of the festival!
Let's not wait any longer, and discover the new bands which have been added to this year's festival line-up. We hope you will be delighted!
MOTLEY CRUE - MARYLIN MANSON - MACHINE HEAD - DREAM THEATER - EUROPE - QUEENSRYCHE - SOULFLY - HATEBREED - SUICIDAL TENDENCIES - DOWN - MASTODON - KILLING JOKE - CRADLE OF FILTH - EDGUY - PAPA ROACH - DRAGON FORCE - PAIN - KMFDM - VOIVOD - PAIN OF SALVATION - BUCKCHERRY - NASHVILLE PUSSY - ADX - KORITNI - SATAN JOKERS - MOONSPELL - IMMOLATION - SKINLESS - BRUTAL TRUTH - DESTROYER 666 - VADER - PIG DESTROYER - HACRIDE - TREPALIUM - BACKFIRE - PROVIDENCE - WATERTANK... all those names are added to the already long list.
That's all for now, you know everything and the final countdown officially starts today! Please note that the one-day tickets are on sale for 59? (including locative fees).
See you soon for further news!

Mountain Mirrors - Download Full Discography For Free
*Mountain Mirrors Releases All Three CDs at Jamendo for Free Download Under Creative Commons License*
Fairhaven, MA, (December 7, 2008) - Mountain Mirrors founder Jeff Sanders has just announced that all three of the Mountain Mirrors LP's (Dreadnought, Lunar Ecstasy and the self - titled Mountain Mirrors) are now available for free download at Jamendo.Com, an influential international platform for downloading free and legal music. Speaking about this new offering Sanders states "Jamendo is awesome. It's got a great vibe... for an independent artist with almost no radio airplay or
live shows, Creative Commons is crucial. And Jamendo makes it easy for people to download (and share) music with a clear conscience."
Mountain Mirrors started in 2003. Their self-proclaimed "Heavy Acoustic" genre blends the progressive psych-rock sounds of Porcupine Tree or Damnation-era Opeth with Dylen-esque folk lyrics and psychedelic vibes.
The Ripple Effect writes of Mountain Mirrors, "Imagine if you will, walking through a forest that's enshrouded in dense fog. Visibility is only a few hundred feet in any direction. Moisture glistening off of the surrounding foliage as your breath bellows from your mouth in a cloud of steam. The crunch of leaves and decay under every footstep being the only sound to accompany the animal-like howl of the wind. Kinda' creepy out here all alone, huh? That's the power of Mountain Mirrors self titled album."

http://www.jamendo.com/en/album/32539 - Lunar Ecstasy (2004)
Mountain Mirrors as described by founder Jeff Sanders is "Heavy acoustic music from the wood of Massachusetts". Musical influences range from Led Zeppelin to Opeth to Portishead as well as unexplained phenomena like Karma, ghosts and the afterlife.
Musicians: Jeff Sanders with various guests - including drummers Peter Yttergren, Peter Generous, Magnus Brandell and Elad Fish, multi-instrumentalist Per Ulfhielm, bassists Phil Rohr and Guy Bartor,
cellist Claire Fitch, keyboard master Oren Selas, and pianist Simon "Watto" Watson. They currently have three LP's.
