Tuska-Festival which takes place in Helsinki, Finland during July 16-18th
2004 has confirmed more artists, nearly completing the line-up for this
year's festival.

Fear Factory from Los Angeles, California will be appearing on the
mainstage on Sunday the 18th of July. Fear Factory has been a pioneer in
combining modern metal with industrial beats and synthesizers and their
seventh full length album, entitled Archetype, will be released in April.

On Saturday the 17th of July, another California act, legendary Bay Area-
thrashers Death Angel take the stage. Their debut album, The Ultra
Violence was released in 1987 and their latest effort, The Art Of Dying
will be released this spring.

Old School death metal will be represented at Tuska 2004 by Dismember
from neighbouring Sweden. This Stockholm outfit have just released their
new album entitled Where Ironcrosses Grow.

The Tuska 2004 Festival gets the most intense start possible in the form
the swedish grindcore act Nasum. The band has just recently added second
guitar player to the line-up and their Tuska-show will be the band's
first time in Finland as a four-piece.

For domestic additions, industrial-flavoured Drive has been added to the
