20 years of Metal Battle - Special Anniversary Acts confirmed!

Created by WackenHelge
04/12/2024

From the most southern regions of Africa to the Icelandic cold, from hot Columbia to the green Philippines: Our Metal Battle has united a vast and diverse bunch of the best and most eager bands in our universe. And this year it will be 20 years since the first battle happened on the Holy Ground. It makes us proud and happy to see 9 Metal Battle Contestants to return to W:O:A this year and still remember us!  

Some have been regular guests since then, others will grace us for the first time since their battle! We are looking forward to be creating special memories again also this year with the new contestants – but this shall be a very special reunion!  – Which of course we will also use to honor all other prior contestants! 

Out newest W:O:A 2024 additions are: 

Archaic, Blind Channel, Crisix, Drone, Jet Jaguar, Phantom Excaliver, Source of Rage, Varang Nord and Walkways!

We hope this announcement will increase your anticipation for the upcoming W:O:A a little more!

yours

W:O:A team
