Elements of Rock presents new Bands for 2010

The line-up of the next Elements of Rock Festival in Switzerland is taking shape the longer the more (some additional bands excluded). As usual you can discover a lot of insider tips alongside long established bands. Recently booked:

In Vain (No), Progressive Extreme Metal
Not many bands have achieved what In Vain has: Their debutalbum "The Letter Rain" earned best reviews all over the globe despite the relative small reputation of the band at that time. The mixture of progressiveness, heaviness, complex orchestration und melancholy is simply unique. The Norwegians will honour us at Elements of Rock with their next CD „Mantra“ which will be just in store by then.

World to Ashes (D), Melodic Death Metal
Due to label organised tours the melo deathers from the Schwarzwald are not unknown in our country. The recently released longplayer „In Contemplation of Death“ promises that WtA will be ploughing mightly through the venue.

Doomenicus (IT), Doom Metal
It was anno domini 2009 when the first fulllength-cd of the Italians was born: „Sacred“. It was about time as the many high praises of the press account for. Surly the melancholic performance of Doomenicus will move the hearts of the crowd in the coming April too.

Timesword (IT), Progressive Metal
By now It is known for a long time that best quality metal doesn't have to snow from the north. But nevertheless it is starting what is happening in our southern neighboring country. Timesword with its evocative and melodic vocals and its talented musicans is one of these great and interesting examples of skilled musicianship.

Back Pocket Prophet (UK), Thrash Metal
Great Britain. There is no other nation where first class thrash steel is more enrooted as the green Island. But we suppose that there will be not much green left after the show of BBP. The oldschool but still fresh sound of the Britons thunders too hard from the stage.

Escape from Sickness (CH), Hardcore/Metal
Escape from Sicknes is emotional and honest hardcore from eastern Switzerland. The young band exists since 2007. After the release of their EP "Wounds Become Scars" they are ready to storm the stages of the hard music world.

Kriegerreich (D), Black Metal
The young folks from Nürnberg had their first gig in Switzerland this August at the Immortal Sphere Festival. They convinced everyone with a nasty but melodic black metal performance. So it is but consequential that Kriegerreich gets the opportunity to play a bigger encore at EoR 2010.
