Kiss will play the festival on Saturday 22nd June as part of their Monster Tour in support of their new album.

Another veteran Band from the US performing at Hellfest 2013, New Yorkers, Twisted Sister, have signed on the line. Lee Snider famously described Twisted Sister as “Slade meets The Sex Pistols”, their influences in truth though, come very much from the likes of Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and AC DC, a formidable form of traditional heavy metal with a driving hard rock style.

Current holders of the Revolver Golden Gods Award for “Album Of The Year” 2012, with The Path Of Totality, California’s best, Korn will be performing at Hellfest 2013. The award was Korn’s first ever win at the Golden Gods Awards, a ceremony celebrating the very best in Hard Rock and Heavy Metal Music.

Speed Metal pioneers Accept are likely to playing a set in support of new album Stalingrad released in April, the follow up to Blood Of The Nations, which they brought out in 2010, their first for fourteen years.

Another Band with new material, Iowa Rockers Stone Sour, released House Of Gold & Bones Part 1 in October with Part 2 due around May 2013 so be prepared for some new tunes when they hit the stage at Hellfest 2013. The completed album was described by lead singer Corey Taylor, as going to be like Pink Floyd‘s The Wall meets Alice in Chains‘s Dirt (ooer!).

They say fine wine gets better with age. The same could be said for Californian Thrash Metal kings, Testament. Twenty nine years on from their inception, the Band just celebrated their highest ever chart entry with latest album Dark Roots Of Earth (2012) entering the U S’s Billboard 200 at number 12.

Maiden To Headline Graspop Metal Meeting 2013

Iron Maiden To Headline Graspop Metal Meeting 2013. Tickets now available with travel and camping or hotel accommodation

Graspop Metal Meeting 2013 tickets are sure to be in short supply after it was announced that Brit Metal giants Iron Maiden are to headline. Tickets are available now as part of a travel package from the UK organised by the UK’s premier European Festival Tour Operator and Official Graspop Travel Partner, Argon Events.

Graspop Metal Meeting 2013 will be the eighteenth edition of Belgium’s largest and one of Europe’s best organised true Metal Festivals. Held every year on the last weekend in June, the Festival has grown from a one day Event back in 1996, hosting just 10,000 visitors, to a full three day extravaganza for over 130,000 Metal Mad fans.

It is not just the fans that enjoy it, Graspop Metal Meeting 2013 will see Iron Maiden headline for the seventh time and Maiden’s Steve Harris says “We’re especially happy to be coming back to headline Graspop, as it is a real metal festival and a place we always really love to play.”

Widely considered one of the most important and influential rock acts of all time, IRON MAIDEN have sold almost 90 million albums worldwide, played over 2000 live performances across 58 countries around the globe, and released 15 studio albums including the most recent, The Final Frontier, their biggest ever album chart success attaining No.1 positions in over 28 countries.

The Band’s appearance at Graspop Metal Meeting 2013 is part of the MAIDEN ENGLAND TOUR which marks the third chapter in the History of Iron Maiden, a journey which began in 2004 with The Early Days DVD and subsequent 2005 Early Days Tour. Part Two followed in 2008 with the Live After Death DVD and the band embarking on their ground-breaking Somewhere Back In Time World Tour 2008/9, which saw them play to over two million fans in almost 40 countries.

Now MAIDEN ENGLAND sees the band recreate the stage show of the 1988’s Seventh Son Tour and playing many songs from that legendary tour and the 1989 concert VHS video titled “Maiden England”, which lends its name to this tour. The Band will be bringing the full production used on tour in North America earlier this year and as Harris says, “Thanks to modern technology, we’ve been able to update and improve on the original 1988 production for Maiden England. We will be bringing with us a huge new lightshow, stage set, various incarnations of Eddie, plenty of pyro and all kinds of other exciting stuff for the fans.

Joining Iron Maiden at Graspop Metal Meeting 2013 will be (amongst many more):-

Mayhem Fine purveyors of Norwegian Black metal, are inextricably tied up with murder, suicide, substance abuse and violence!! Dark metal fans will be happy to hear Dark Funeral, Winterfylleth, Aura Noir, God Seed and Absu.

With seven GMM appearances to their credit, Barnsley’s own, Saxon, like Iron Maiden enjoy a regular trip to Belgium last week in June. Graspop Metal Meeting 2013 will be witness to the boys’ full Eagle Show.

In Flames The Melodic Death metal Band from Gothenburg are currently riding high off the back of their most recent album ‘Sounds of a Playground Fading’ released in 2011 to great acclaim.

Graspop Metal Meeting 2013 marks Epica’s 6th appearance at the Festival? The band offers a blend of symphonic metal, death metal and gothic metal so there’s something for everyone here. Worth watching for Simone Simons alone!!

Kreator have been shattering eardrums for over thirty years now and like wine, Kreator’s music just seems to get better with age. Look forward to a mix of tracks from 2012’s ‘Phantom Antichrist’ album and thrash classics like ‘Flag of Hate’ and ‘Pleasure to Kill’.

Also confirmed for Graspop Metal Meeting 2013 so far are;-

Stone Sour, Parkway Drive, Coal Chamber, The Devil Wears Prada, Every Time I Die, Lock Up, After The Burial, Dunderbeist, Between The Buried And Me, Bullet, Heaven’s Basement, Hacktivist.

Check the site out for yourself below.

[kkytv id="6yYAirASfTA" width="420" height="236"]

Already confirmed for Summer Breeze Festival 2013 are;

AGNOSTIC FRONT are pioneers of the New York Hardcore scene and true legends. Without them, hardcore and metalcore as we know it would not exist. The achievements of Roger Miret, Vinnie Stigma and company are far too numerous to cram into one short info text. After all, the tough looking New Yorkers have been touring both sides of the Atlantic for an unbelievable 30 years now. Always uncompromising, always with integrity, always a 100%! Get ready for white muscle shirts, sleeve tattoos and loads of two-step action in the pit! In a live situation AGNOSTIC FRONT have never disappointed with their punk and metal influenced classics. Demolition guaranteed!

ALESTORM Fancy some heavy metal, thrash riffs, squeezebox, party and Running Wild style piracy? Then Scotland’s ALESTORM are your band! ”True Scottish Pirate Metal” is the musical genre they claim to represent. Bad manners, tons of beer and loads of fun! This is exactly what ALESTORM will deliver at their first Summer Breeze Festival appearance, where their party-compatible pirate metal will surely meet a receptive audience and many thirsty throats. Arrrr me ‘arties or is that och aye me ‘arties!

BENEDICTION It’s a Summer Breeze debut for BENEDICTION the Birmingham death metal institution, incredibly 23 years after the release of their debut album ‘Subconscious Terror’.Considering the death metal pioneers long career you have to respect the fact they have never strayed from their chosen path. No trend, no fashion has been able to steer the band away from their original direction, something their loyal fan base is eternally grateful for. Since day one BENEDICTION‘s brutal death metal has gone hand in hand with various punk and crust influences. And this will hopefully always stay this way. Dirty, raw and simply awesome!

DARK FUNERAL Swedish Black Metal band Dark Funeral are back. At raging speed, deeply evil and denying all light,they will surely be one of the most menacing highlights of Summer Breeze Festival 2013 for their numerous black disciples.

ENSIFERUM Fancy some folk melodies, pagan rhythms and loads of hits? Then you should look forward to ENSIFERUM, the Finnish Folk Metal Band who describe their msic as ”heroic folk metal.”! Heroes from the past, galloping horses, battle noises, lances, bucklers, swords and battle hymns, as well as the boozy celebrations after significant victories, they are all transported into our time and onto the stage by the Finns. Their latest album ‘Unsung Heroes’, made it into the Top 20 of the German charts.

IN FLAMES Formed in 1990, the Swedish metal band from Gothenburg, have released ten studio albums and one live DVD and as of 2008, In Flames have sold over 2 million records worldwide so be assured It’s going to get really hot in Dinkelsbühl in 2013! as IN FLAMES are coming to lay waste to the Summer Breeze Festival. A massive light show and a gripping performance all go without saying.

KNORKATOR Berliners Knorkator’s music can be largely classified as industrial metal, somewhat akin to White Zombie and Ministry. Knorkator, however, strongly feature a comedic element. Most songs escalate into falsetto vocals and bombastic, over-the-top anthemic choruses, with crushing guitars and subtle samplers.

NEAERA A melodic death metal band from Münster, Germany, Neaera have pretty much from their formation in 2003 been one of the hottest bands in Germany’s extreme metal scene. Five albums, tons of tours as headliners or supporting the big names, countless glorious festival shows and lots of fire in their hearts, all of this is what characterizes these likeable Münster lads. Death metal fans, black metal fans, extreme metal fans, unite! This band is about to send your neck into retirement. There’s no better way to meld the aggression of death metal, the furiousness of black metal and the power of modern metal.

POWERWOLF A German/Romanian power metal band created in 2003 by Charles and Matthew Greywolf. The group is notable for having rather dark themes and images, both musically and lyrically, both counteractions to traditional power metal music and including usage of corpse paint, gothic-tinged compositions and songs about Romanian werewolf and vampire legends and dark religious tales, though the latter is done ironically.

SABATON Back for the first time since 2009, Swedish Power Metal Band Sabaton return to the Summer Breeze Festival featuring a new line up that includes founder members, singer Joakim Brodén and bass player Pär Sundströmand and a new album, ‘Carolus Rex’.
