Hamferð won again

An awesome news arrived from Wacken Open Air yesterday: Faroese doom metal band Hamferð won the international Wacken Metal Battle 2012!

Winning this competion means not only getting spectacular material prices of Marshall, Washburn, Paiste and Woodbrass.com (Eagletone), but, above all, getting a worldwide record deal with the German label Nuclear Blast. So, congrats and horns up for this amazing band! I'm personally so proud of them!
