If we're talking heavy metal, it's no contest. France wins. Metal in general? That gets a bit complicated.

Has anyone heard Blastead (ex-Venin)? Is it any good?

Anyone familiar with this one?

Found it for dirt cheap in a record fair this morning.

Decent melodic HM sometimes borderline FM. Not my kind of stuff but first track is really killer !

Insane line-up! Considering the poster picture, I'd love to see H BOMB on the billing as well.

Been thinking the same every time the poster pops up, an H-Bomb reunion really needs to happen! Also I will do my best to be there next year, too awesome to let it pass

Haven't seen TITAN or SQUARE yet - both very good bands - so it's tempting to start planning a trip...

Anyone heard this yet? Another one of those "Awesome-single/bad-demos" affairs a la your random NWOBHM 2LP HRR reissue? :|

It's sold out. Glad I got my ticket

By the way, the headliner is supposed to be announced soon. H-BOMB or SORTILEGE.... hey I can dream :wink:

Curious to see Square as well. Their debut on Devil's Records is such an underrated piece of french metal/hard rock.

Yes, that's pretty much how it is. The demo tracks sound nothing like the single, just generic NWO(fill in the blank)HM.

Is that so? I was thinking about buying the compilation CD. I'll probably save those 15 euros for something else..
