Epic Folk, Death and Gothic on December 5th

Created by WackenJasper
12/05/2018

The next winners in our big raffle have been announced and since midnight the next three bands for the upcoming W:O:A are available on xmas.wacken.com! Today we add these names into the lineup:

Equilibrium

Equilibrium calls their genre Epic Metal and the name says it all - the mixture of power, pagan, folk etc. is a wonderful success, even the use of orchestral elements seems to be no big challenge for the musicians. The last album of the band was released in 2016 and we hopet to hear some new songs at W:O:A 2019 – or maybe even a whole new album!

 

Grave

Finest Swedish steel - Grave and their Death Metal have been active since 1986 and they have conquered countless stages in this name. Until now, they have only visited Wacken once, back in 2008. But now they are finally going into the second round.

Crematory

The German Gothic Metal veterans of Crematory will perform a special Best-Of show at the W:O:A! Choosing the right songs for such a show from over a dozen studio albums might not be easy and we are looking forward to see the result live on stage!

And here are the x-mas winners from the 4th of December 2018:

Natascha Z – Diez (GER)
Nicolas B – Wettingen (CHE)
Andreas W – Donauwörth (GER)
Filippo B - Torino (ITA)
Elena K – Schiffweiler (GER)

All winners will be informed by email!

Tomorrow we will announce the next bands and xmas winners!
