A britek belépőjét az időjárás is megalapozta, ugyanis 20:00-tól hatalmas vihar söpört át a Balaton fölött, ami nagyjából 22:30-ra ült el, így még azok is kényelmesen vissza tudtak érni a 23:00-kor kezdődő koncertre, akik az eső elől szilárdabb falú szálláshelyre menekültek. Meg is érte visszajönniük, hiszen a drum’n’bass kvartett óriási bulit csinált, és valljuk be, nem mindegy, milyen zenére dagasztjuk a sarat! Persze nemcsak a Nagyszínpad vonzotta a közönséget: a Rockélet sátorban is rengetegen rázták a hajukat, a Zipz Shoesban is jelentős tömeg verbuválódott, a Zeneszöveg.hu emelvényéről fürtökben lógtak az emberek, és a Hóóórukk Hüttében bemutatkozó zenekarok sem panaszkodhattak a hallgatóság hiányára. A fergeteges vihar utáni buli méltó levezetője volt a PASO, akik egészen hajnalig táncoltatták a zseniális közönséget.

Nemcsak kitartásukról híresek a Pannónián fesztiválozók, hogy sáron-tócsán át is visszaözönlenek a színpadokhoz, akár mankóval vagy tolószékkel is átverekszik magukat a bejáratnál folyamatosan hömpölygő tömegen, de rendkívül kreatívak is: zsiráfjelmezben, felfújható zsiráffal, zsiráfos pólóban ugráltak tömött sorokban a helyszínek között pedig egyesek motoros rolleren száguldottak. A dzsungelmotívumok mellett a jelen esetben hasznos és divatos gumicsizmák is előkerültek, bár ezekre a továbbiakban várhatóan nem lesz szükség, ugyanis a hétvégére a meteorológia szerint megérkezik a nyár!

A 3. napon olyan kiválóságok folytatják majd a megkezdett őrületet, mint az Intim Torna Illegál, a Punnany Massif, a Mary Popkids, Maszkura és a Tücsökraj, vagy a szegedi közönségkedvenc SKAtch. Külföldi sztárfellépőként pedig jön a Foreign Beggars! Már ez a néhány név is önmagáért beszél, úgyhogy aki még nem határozta volna el magát, hogy a hétvégét Szántódpusztán tölti, az nagyon gyorsan csomagoljon össze, mert ilyen olcsón ennyi fergeteges zenekart sehol máshol nem talál!

Jegyárak
Négynapos bérlet: 7.900 Ft
Napijegy: 3.900 Ft

Két koncert között nemcsak a gyönyörű helyszínt élvezhetik a fesztiválozók, de különböző civil szervezetekkel is találkozhatnak Szántódpusztán. Számos munkavállalással kapcsolatos ötlettel várja az érdeklődőket az IAESTE Hungary, vagyis a Magyar Mérnökhallgatók Egyesülete. A HANGMESTER.HU jóvoltából kipróbálhattok majd professzionális hangszereket, a Nem Adom Fel alapítvány pedig a fogyatékkal élők számára készült segítő eszközöket mutatja be. A felsőoktatásban tanulók és dolgozók mindenképp látogassanak el a Campus Hungary Programhoz, hiszen külföldi ösztöndíjak tömegével várják a kifelé kacsintgatókat. Folyamatosan látogatható lesz a PAFE területén a funfair XXL hinta, és egész nap játékok, rapid randi, csocsó, flipper szórakoztatja majd a tombolásban megfáradt fesztiválozókat. Lesz ezen kívül még Quiz Night, óriás társasjáték és óriás keresztrejtvényfejtő, hogy a test és a szellem egyaránt megdolgozzon a pihenésért.

PAFE-bérlettel olcsó szállásfoglalásra és utazásra is van lehetőség! A balatonföldvári Anna-Mária Villában a balaton@campusclub.hu címen lehet kedvezményesen foglalni, az odajutás pedig vonattal a legkedvezőbb, ugyanis a MÁV Start Zrt. a helyszínen lepecsételtetett menetjegyeket a visszaútra is érvényesnek fogadja el. Ráadásul a Budapest és Nagykanizsa felől érkezőkre tekintettel több gyorsvonat is megáll majd Szántódon a fesztivál ideje alatt.

Get your first impression about this opulent orchestral project here:

LINGUA MORTIS ORCHESTRA was formed by the three RAGE musicians Victor Smolski (guitar, keyboard and chello), Peavy Wagner (vocals and bass) and André Hilgers (drums) as a continuation of 1996’s »Lingua Mortis« album – back then a true piece of pioneering work.

The entire album was mostly composed by Victor Smolski who cooperated with two orchestras from Spain and Belarus, enlarging the number of this mammoth project’s participants to more than 100. Together with long-term co-producer Charlie Bauerfeind (BLIND GUARDIAN, HAMMERFALL among others), Victor Smolski produced and mixed the record in »Twilight Hall Studio« Krefeld, Germany. The final mastering is to be done within the next days.

»LMO« follows an exciting concept on the burning of witches in Gelnhausen in 1599, written by vocalist Peavy Wagner and based on a true story.

Apart from the three RAGE musicians, two female vocalists belong to LINGUA MORTIS ORCHESTRA’s regular cast: Jeannette Marchewka and soprano singer Dana Harnge. Guest vocals were contributed by Henning Basse (ex-METALLIUM), among others.

The tracklist of »LMO« reads as follows:
01. Cleansed By Fire
a) Convert The Pagans PT. 1
b) The Inquisition (instrumental)
c) Convert The Pagans PT. 2
02. Scapegoat
03. The Devil´s Bride
04. Lament
05. Oremus (instrumental)
06. Witches` Judge
07. Eye For An Eye
08. Afterglow

The first LINGUA MORTIS ORCHESTRA live dates are confirmed as well – and will be presented by ROCK HARD, LEGACY, BLAST! and METAL.DE:
03.08. D Wacken – Wacken Open Air
12.09. CH Pratteln – Z7
13.09. D Oberhausen – Turbinenhalle
14.09. AT Oberwaltersorf – Heavy Nights – Festival

Studiotrailer: http://youtu.be/sypI7_iM6Xc
Albumtrailer, Pt 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUAEtp_Z_tI&feature=youtu.be

»LMO« will be out on August 2 via Nuclear Blast.

The album contains eight tracks in total and continues the conceptual themes of the band’s previous work which fuses historical and mythological tales of ancient Ireland.

Frontman Roibeard O Bogail said: “We are really proud of how this one turned out. It took a lot longer than expected but we feel it’s a further evolution in terms of the band’s song writing and the unique Mael Mórdha sound. It’s also a little bit darker and takes our music into some interesting new areas. There is a bleakness to it in places but also some crushing heaviness, galloping riffs and emotive melodies. We’ve already played a couple of the tracks live and they’ve gone down really well, so we can’t wait for people to hear the whole thing and get more of the songs into our live set.”

Lyrically centered around mankind’s killer instinct and violent purpose in life, “Without Master” sets the album’s mood with 3:45 minutes of chronic, blasting hatred.  Elaborates guitarist Michael Munoz: “‘Without Master ‘incorporates fast, albeit simple and catchy riffs, while keeping the song as fluid as possible. It was written for the sole purpose of opening the album.”

Be “Without Master” at THIS LOCATION.

With its members hailing from a plethora of extreme metal acts past and present including Iberian black metal outfit Windfaerer, Metal Blade tech/death act Allegaeon and others, GRIMUS unite in their mutual discontent with the human race. Omnicide, a term literally meaning the killing of everything,  is a testament to man’s inherent, bloodthirsty nature and audacity to alter his surroundings, through efficient forms of destruction. Paradoxically, mankind is willfully committing suicide in its attempt to become a godlike creator. This album is a soundtrack to the decimation of all that is known, “the age of none.”

A thirty-six minute onslaught of blasting and grooving barbarity, Omnicide was tracked and mixed by guitarist Marco Bobadilla at Crimson Recording and mastered by Alan Douches (Cannibal Corpse, Beneath the Massacre, Job For A Cowboy etc.) at West West Side Music. GRIMUS will self-release Omnicide on June 25 2013.

The band will be bring their ruckus to their home turf next month with additional live performances to be announced in the coming weeks. Save yourself!

GRIMUS Live:

6/22/2013 E&A Entertainment & Hall – Elizabeth, NJ

GRIMUS is vocalist Bryan Martinez, guitarist Marco Bobadilla, guitarist Michael Munoz, bassist Michael Goncalves, and drummer JP Andrade.

Today HUNTRESS has unveiled the first song from Starbound Beast. The track entitled “I Want to Fuck You to Death” was co-written for singer Jill Janus by legendary Motorhead frontman Lemmy Kilmister.

Frontwoman Jill Janus spoke about the collaboration:

“I met Lemmy through my former band Chelsea Girls. We’d play hard rock and metal covers featuring guest celebrities. Lemmy was already friends with the girls, so he played “Ace of Spades” with us and it blew my mind. We stayed in touch and would meet up at The Rainbow for drinks. So I asked him a few months back over Jack & Cokes if he’d write lyrics for a Huntress song and he said ‘Sure’. A few weeks later, I met him at the studio during Motorhead recording sessions. Lemmy handed me two two pieces of notebook paper with the lyrics for ‘I Want to Fuck You to Death’. I am beyond honored. To me, this is a love song. It is the most romantic song I’ve ever heard.”

Motorhead frontman Lemmy Kilmister also spoke of the collaboration:

“The first time I heard Jill’s voice with Chelsea Girls, it was phenomenal. I wrote these lyrics from her point of view, the Huntress. ‘I Want to Fuck You to Death’ was inspired by her, written for her. I’ve always had a soft spot for her. And a hard spot too…”

The song is available as an exclusive stream on the HUNTRESSFacebook Page. When visiting the facebook page, clicking the “like” button will enable the audio.

In support of Starbound Beast the band will be touring across North America this summer as part of the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival.   The band will be featured on the Jagermeister Stage alongside Machine Head, Battlecross & Others.  The tour kicks off June 29^th in San Bernardino, CA and runs through August 4^th in Dallas, TX.  A complete list of dates can be found below.  The band took part in the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival Press Conference and performed live, check out footageHERE.

HUNTRESS was spawned from the preternatural union of Jill Janus with underground metal bands Professor and Dark Black. They thrive on thundering drums, heavy riffs, spectral solos and catchy choruses that come from the band‘s musical concoction of occult science and bong rips. HUNTRESSremains true to the roots of melodic heavy metal with a penchant for thrash, death and black metal.

On the new LP Electric Relics, ACROSS TUNDRAS take their ever-expanding style of modern Americana further into the same westerly direction they’ve been traversing for the past few years, organically fusing their swells of post-doom into Spaghetti Western soundtracks and meandering blues/rock jam sessions. A wide variety of sounds seamlessly mingle throughout the slow motion base founding guitarist/vocalist/songwriter Tanner Olson, percussionist Casey Perry and bassist/vocalist Mikey Allred (Hellbender) lay down, Allred also contributing pianos/organs, synthesizers, mellotron, trombone and more, and his brother Joey (Hellbender) contributing guest slide guitar and vocals. Additionally, Perry hand constructed the scale model landscape for the cover art, with Olson handling the graphic design and layout. ACROSS TUNDRAS recorded Electric Relics at their expansive Ramble Hill Farm in February, and is releasing it on their own label of the same name, making it a fully self-managed D.I.Y. release.

As the band states: ”Electric Relics is our humble offering placed at the crossroads of past, present, and future tense. Age-old energies and three phase electric power intersect to reveal hidden truths of bygone times, modern mysticisms, and sound the alarm for uncertain days to come. We walk through this shadowy land in search of a spark to light the fire and illuminate the depths of consciousness.”

Electric Relics is available for free/name-your-price download now via Bandcamp, where orders for the deluxe vinyl edition — being pressed on 180-gram virgin vinyl and bearing gatefold jackets – can also be placed. Stream and pick up the album HERE.

In support of the album, ACROSS TUNDRAS are hooking up with their cohorts in Hellbender for a Western U.S. tour, kicking off with a hometown show on June 6th and winding out through the West Coast and back through the Midwestern states.
