Katatonia, Amorphis, Before the Dawn, Hate Eternal, Vomitory, Volbeat and Evocation. And more awesome bands confirmed day by day. I'm so there

Isn't it too early to get excited about this?

By the time the festival is around the corner 30% of those band would have dropped out or cancelled their appearance

If the bands dropping out were Callejon and Raunchy, I'd be even more excited than I am already

Legion Of The Damned O_o Sabaton o.O The Haunted T_T

I'll do my best to be there

Opeth confirmed. And as Katatonia have been confirmed earlier already, 80% of Bloodbath are there anyway. Just a matter of time til they'll be confirmed as well, I guess.

I'll be there !! Opeth, Wintersun, Epica, Katatonia, Unheilig, Corvus Corax, Schandmaul, Deathstars, Katra, Haggard... this is nearly heaven ! (it would be heaven with Lacrimosa )
I know, we're in January, but I'm already excited about this !
Maybe I'll go to Blackfield too. Let's see.

100%! Sodomizer = Katatonia roadie!

Anyway, last year, both Katatonia and Opeth played Hellfest in France, but no Bloodbath there... They did play on different days though.

Amon Amarth, Battlelore, Equilibrium, Skyforger, Black Messiah, Waylander and Vreid Amazing fest !

Quote:
All Wintersun shows cancelled

There has come again unexpected problems with technology, which will make finishing the "Time" album even more harder than it has been. Which will delay it even more. There´s also some personal problems concerning my apartment.

Because of all the problems, I have fallen under a serious amounts of stress, which is sometimes causing me "writer´s blocks". This album making is now turned into such a "risky business", that I have no choise, but to cancel Summerbreeze and Bloodstock.

The thing is, the album has to be done first, before we can play any shows. Playing just old songs after many years isn´t something we want to do and what probably no one wants to see.
After the album has been mixed, I need to mix again a "backuptrack livemix" (of the synths&orchestrations). Then we have to of course practise the new songs and arrange them into "live format" (especially mine and Teemu´s guitar parts). We also need to update our humble live gear.
All these arrangements take time, so we don´t want to risk it, that we might have to cancel the shows last minute. It must be done now and put finishing the album the number one priority. After the album is done, we will start booking shows again.

I know there´s lots of disappointed people and I have to apologize. But I hope that you´ll understand my decision under these circumstances. I have to put the album first and finish it before we play any shows. Thanks for listening!

That's okay, I'll see if Ron wants to go and I'll just take ole' duder' with me. So... what is the standard here...everyone just has a tent and sleeps by their car or something? I assume like how it was at Eisenwahn. Ehh..the Dude is not quite the festival type. Nadine told me she would be interested in going and I just wanted to laugh in her face. I still remember Eisenwahn last year

Yep, standard is tent by car. Caravan should do as well, if you have one. Have I already mentioned that the lightning really added to Endstille's performance at Eisenwahn

Yeah, I think you even wrote that in your review. I just read through the ABCs of the Festival. But I have a limit on booze!! 'At the festival site only a tetra pack or a plastic bottle of up to 0.5 liters per person is allowed as well as SUMMER BREEZE 0,4 ltr mugs and SUMMER BREEZE 1,0 ltr beer tankards.
PLEASE NOTE: There is a strict glass prohibition on the entire festival and camping ground!'

In other words, I can't bring a case of Licher beer?! Fuck, that was my plan. I also wanted to bring some Kahlua with me and make some White Russians, lol. Seems like it's time to play the stupid American and speak with a thick Texan accent. ''Nahw, listen er', fellar. I aint flown, nah damn, 5,000 miles and drove this damn distance', only that yur folks say I can't drink ma beer!''

Well, you can bring a case of Licher beer and some Kahlua. The question just is whether the security guys at the entrance will notice. Most likely they will. You can still bring beer in drafts or in cans though. Or in plastic bottles *yuk*
And they even sell self-cooling drafts at the local supermarket.

OH MY FUCKING GOD!!! Anaal Nathrakh and Benighted have just been confirmed!!

Suffocation (yay!) and The Faceless have been reconfirmed, so the lineup for the three main days is complete. Only five more newcomers for the opening day missing and we're set. Oh, I'm so excited!

Nice line-up. I can't understand why people still go to Wacken when they can go to a much much superior Summer Breeze

Indeed, killer bands in this!
