SOULFLY, CARCASS, LAAZ ROCKIT, ONLY LIVING WITNESS Confirmed For Holland's LOUD FROM THE SOUTH  - Jun. 21, 2008
SOULFLY, CARCASS, LAAZ ROCKIT, SABBAT and ONLY LIVING WITNESS have been confirmed for the first edition of the Loud From The South festival, set to take place Saturday, August 30 at the Klokgebouw (near train station Eindhoven-Beukenlaan) in Eindhoven, Holland.

The festival billing is shaping up as follows:

SOULFLY
CARCASS
LAAZ ROCKIT
SABBAT
ONLY LIVING WITNESS
DARKANE
PILGRIMZ
MOTORJESUS
THE LUCIFER PRINCIPLE

Commented promoter Tjerk Maas: "Hell yeah, I am very happy to be able to announce the first names. And not the least! Even though on first impression the focus may seem to be on reunion bands, a lot of these bands have been delivering quality metal for a long while now. Like headlining act SOULFLY. Every album they seem to integrate older SEPULTURA's aggressiveness more balanced into their music and I will be very surprised if anyone will be standing still during their performance. Of course, I'm also very excited to have heroes from a little further away play at the first edition of our festival. LAAZ ROCKIT has made a few appearances over the last years and I've seen them all. I can tell you my grin was as wide as singer Michael Coons'. One of the premiere reunions this year is CARCASS so I am very happy to have them play a Benelux exclusive. Just like SABBAT, who I've never been able to see back in the day. ONLY LIVING WITNESS is a personal favorite of mine and I could care less if it makes 1, 100 or 1000 people happy by having them play. I just had to have them. As well as DARKANE, now that's some good quality Swedish metal. And then there's of course THE LUCIFER PRINCIPLE, PILGRIMZ and MOTORJESUS. Bands that make me want to start head banging when the first note exits the PA system. And you don't even want to know what else we have planned. He he, of course you do but you'll have to wait just a little longer for that…"

Tickets go on sale on Saturday, June 21 through Ticketservice. Tickets will cost 45 euros (plus service fees) until July 18 and after that it will be 55 euros (plus service fees).

FIELDS OF ROCK Organizers Explain Festival Cancellation  - Mar. 26, 2008
The organizers of this year's Fields of Rock festival — which was set to take place June 20-22 at on the Evenemententerrein of Walibi World in Biddinghuizen, the Netherlands — have issued the following statement:

"Because of the lack of headliners leading to disappointing ticket sales, we are very sorry to inform you that Fields of Rock 2008 is cancelled. This very difficult decision was made because it wouldn't have been wise to continue with this edition of the Fields of Rock festival both financially and creatively. We offer our sincere apologies to Fields of Rock visitors who had already bought their tickets for this edition. Tickets for Fields of Rock 2008 can be returned until 1 July.

"About 35 bands were [secheduled] to perform at Fields of Rock 2008. This year, the organisation also made an extra investment to enhance the festival's atmosphere and fringe programme. This meant Fields of Rock was heading for a new direction. Unfortunately, the major headliners, the artists who attract large numbers of visitors, weren't available for the weekend of 20, 21, and 22 of June. Although the organisation had been working on a great programme since the fall of 2007, it appears Fields of Rock doesn't fit the touring schedules of the big bands. Therefore, the decision to cancel the festival was made out of necessity rather than by choice. At this moment, alternative gigs are looked into for a number of bands. News about these developments will follow.
 
"People who bought tickets for Fields of Rock 2008 can return them to the pre-sale box offices they were bought at, until 1 July 2008. Visitors with a TicketFast ticket will be informed by TSN through email. All people who had already bought tickets will qualify for a € 5 discount for the next edition of Fields of Rock. In order to apply for this discount, they need to send a mail to tickets@fieldsofrock.nl, before 1 June 2008, stating their names and the unique ticket number that is printed on the front of the ticket. Prior to the pre-sale of the next edition of Fields of Rock, they will receive a personal invitation to buy a ticket with the said discount."

The following artists were scheduled to appear at this year's event:

AIRBOURNE
APOCALYPTICA

ARCH ENEMY
BRING ME THE HORIZON
BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE
CAVALERA CONSPIRACY

DANKO JONES

This year the location is altered because of the camping possibilities at the venue in Biddinghuizen.

It has been a dream for festivaldirector Rob Trommelen and his team, and for many visitors of the festival to make Fields of Rock a festival with camping-possibilities. Evenemententerrein Walibi World in Biddinghuizen is known as a perfect and beautiful location for this. That is why next year all of you can come the the polder with their tent and backpack to enjoy two days and three nights of great metal acts, the newest rock and lots of fun at the campingfestival Fields of Rock. The doors of the camping will open at Friday June 15 and they will close at Monday June 18. Of course we will keep you informed about the exact times!

The third edition of Fields of Rock will be a 2 day festival with a camping. Just like with the last edition there will be 3 stages, with at least 15 bands each day. Besides the main stage and the tent stage there will be a smaller outdoor stage.

The names of the 3 stages will soon be chosen trough a contest at the website. More information about the line-up of the 3 stages will be announced at www.fieldsofrock.nl On this website you can find all information about the festival that is available at the moment.

Electric Eel Shock, Vital Remains, All That Remains - Confirmed For Germany's WACKEN OPEN AIR Festival - Mar. 22 2007
Drawing from classic '80s & 90s metal bands such as VENOM, BATHORY, MERCYFUL FATE, MORBID ANGEL, DEICIDE and SLAYER, VITAL REMAINS based their survival through a DIY underground approach that earned them a rabid legion of fans.

However, after four full-length releases the group's biggest break would come in 2003 as they signed to Century Media and released the genre-defying epic "Dechristianize". It was hailed by critics and fans alike as one of extreme metal's most accomplished and ambitious works yet that ever garnered mainstream acclaim. The album quickly elevated the band into the death metal elite and was supported by four full U.S. tours, further solidifying their status as one of the genre's hardest-working acts.

Electric Eel Shock, Vital Remains, All That Remains

TERRA GOTHA XIV Festival -  Mar. 21 2007

TERRA GOTHA XIV will take place at Saturday 21 April 2007 at venue De Piek in Vlissingen with electro band XP8 from Italy and gothrockers Pro-Jekt from England.

Terra Gotha XIV headliners are Italy's finest electro band XP8. The roman XP8 is a trilogy.
Marco Visconti, Paul Toohill and Marko Resurreccion. All three play their part in the music making process. Paul writes, and sings the words. Over the years XP8's sound has developed, mutated, and perspired. The sounds have hardened, the energy increased. XP8 aim for the dance floor and they aim for you. Unfortunately Marco won't be able to party with us at Terra Gotha as he will be touring as keyboard player for VNV Nation. But a replacement has been found in our good friend Jos from dutch harsh-electro band Grendel.

UK industrialrockers Pro-Jekt will be support act at Terra Gotha XIV. The band is founded in 2001 and developed and perfected their style over the years. The musical should surely be appealing to fans of Gothminister/Rammstein/Ministry. Although the band already toured the U.K. several times. And also toured in Europe, this Pro-Jekt concert will be their debut gig on dutch soil.

Tickets will go on sale at Thursday 15 March. You can buy tickets at De Bard cd store in Vlissingen or De Spin in Middelburg. You can get a special discount at de Bar-O-Nes gothic clothing shop in Vlissingen when you show them your Terra Gotha XIV ticket (70% discount on clothing, 50% discount on accessories)

You can also order tickets by mail, simply send an e-mail to reserveren@depiek.nl fill in your name and the nr. of people you want tickets for.
In a couple of days you will then receive a confirmation e-mail, print this and take the print with you to De Piek on the day itself. The print will be your ticket.

Doors open: 19.30

Pungent Stench, Moonsorrow and many others driving all the way up to the Arnhem Metal Meeting for an exclusive Holland show.
