Wacken Metal Battle Føroyar upcoming

I'm now announcing I will be attending the very 1st edition of the Faroese Wacken Metal Battle, which is going to take place at the Sjónleikarhúsið in Tórshavn on 24th March 2012.

Throughout this 6-hours non stop metalnight, it will be exciting to discover what the Faroese music scene can offer us, as there will be 8 different metal bands playing, which is quite a lot for a country counting just 50.000 people.

I'll post here a live report of the event, in Italian and in English, which will be both approximately be published around 30th March / early April.

These are all the Faroese metal bands scheduled to play at WMB:

Konqueror

The Happening

Synarchy

Hamferð

The Apocryphal Order

Earth Divide

Incurse

SIC
