KNIFE “Forged in the hot winds, tempered by the shrieking sounds of Hades, a blade made of immortal steel rose from the depths to vindicate the souls of those who obey the true sound of METAL. Ferocity, power and speed. Metal like a hammer blow! KNIFE is unleashed!” Through a striking mix of various influences from classic hard rock and heavy metal to first-wave black metal & punk, KNIFE delivers a wild and nasty metal sound, ready to conquer the world. SACRED STEEL For over 25 years, SACRED STEEL has offered metalheads a hard-hitting, trend-independent alternative to overloaded drum beats, kitschy keyboards, and boring cliché sounds that are touted year after year as “the next big thing in metal.” SACRED STEEL has always stayed true to themselves, reinvented their traditional style, and released several critically acclaimed classics. SACRED STEEL is an institution in the metal scene: thoroughly METAL with attitude, never everyone’s favorite - and damn proud of it! CATBREATH The lineup is completed by in-your-face crossover thrash from Catbreath from Northern Germany - this is the new claw order!
