Hail:banger2:

Behemoth and Dismember don't seem to be part of the lineup anymore as they don't appear on the flyer. Cradle Of Filth, Obituary and many others confirmed instead. Somehow I find the quality of the lineup quite discomforting though, especially in combination with the "Vol. 1" in the event name and the fact that they don't even seem to have a venue yet.

Damn! This list of bands really rule! I actually might come down there...

I would like to add, that probably NOONE in Czech Republic really knows if this fest is for real or if it is only one big hoax to everybody...for example the venue owner doesnt know anything about this fest to be held here - seems people from poland who should organize it havent contacted him yet...on the other hand bands like Amon Amarth had confirmed this show already...so who knows...but it is nothing like Masters Or Rock or Brutal Assault, where you simply knows they will be held...

I guess, nobody knows whether it is for real or not. Even some bands don't know the details of this festival yet. Well, it's up to the organizers to assure the audience that this is not some stupid joke. Anyway, I'm not going to be one of those who will be risking to make a long way to Czech Republic and get nothing in the end

According to the organizers both Gorgoroth and God Seed are gonna play at the festival. According to the band's websites and Myspaces neither of them is scheduled to play there...

I know people who attempted to send emails to the organizers asking whether this event is real or not, but the organizers just replied in a rude and aggressive way without any sense in the email.

"SHINING PULLS OUT OF UNHOLY FEST

Like fellow musicians TAAKE we have been forced to pull out of Unholy Fest that was due to take place in Ostrava, CZ on the 24th of July.

Despite our best efforts not to disappoint the fans, the promoter refuses to answer our emails, has not signed a contract and has not met any of his financial or other obligations.

We are sorry about this, but we have no other option. It seems there are more and more cowboys out there these days, and the only people they are hurting are the fans. Hopefully we will be able to play in CZ at a later date, but this time with promoters who keep their word."

Awesome! In December already I've bet with a friend of mine that this festival ain't gonna take place. This looks good for me

One more...

"Impaled Nazarene will NOT play at Unholy Fest:
Just like many other bands, we have cancelled our show at Unholy Fest.

Good luck to those who have bought tickets.

IMPALED NAZARENE"

Also Dark Funeral cancelled.

Message from the band: "Just like countless of other bands, we have, unfortunately, also been forced cancel our show at the Unholy Fest. It actually seems like this festival was never going happen in the first place, and just a big scam already from the beginning. The promotor seems to have disappeared from the surface of the earth, whereof we, and as it seems, also many other bands, simply have no other option but to cancel."

Czech band Root also bailed and they are even advising people not to buy tickets

Haha, no sir, i did not own a ticket because it was a bit obvious that it would crack...but i was going to join one of the bands and therefore get a free ride to where i needed to go, i just hoped that it could come true...now i have to pay for a plane ticket...hahaha, that's mostly why i am sore, cause in the line-up i could never believe in...
Meah, Brutal Assault on the other hand, man would i like to go there!...but unfortunately i can't this year boo. I reccomend it to anyone!

Then go to Czech Republic just for tourism it's a nice country with cheap beer

With cheap and tasty you forgot to say

btw according to the venue's website, the whole fest is CANCELED (posted 13th of July)

Wooo, great news! That means my mate owes me one bottle of finest mead!

So at least one happy guy
