IEPER 25.-27 August

[xspäst]

We are happy to announce the first list for Ieperfest 2006. So far 18 bands have confirmed their presence. Some names will sound familiar, others you might never have heard of. It has always been the idea of Ieperfest to offer a wide range of different sorts of bands and this year’s bill will be no different. For many tour organisers and bigger bands, August seems oh so far away and they couldn’t be bothered too much about late summer yet. We at the Ieperfest HQ however have been talking with many more fine groups and hope to be announcing more names in the next weeks & months.

BLACK FRIDAY 29 (D)Fast and heavy old school hardcore with NY influences.For fans of JUDGE, MADBALLL, TERROR, etc. On GSR rcs.
BLOOD REDEMPTION (B) H8000's answer to bands like KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, CALIBAN & OVERCAST! Ex-SPIRIT OF YOUTH, SOLID, EMPATHY, LEGION, etc.
CEPHALIC CARNAGE (USA) Ultra technical Colorado death/grind act on "Relapse" rcs that has been kicking it since the early 90s! Toured Europe with MACABRE (2004) &EXHUMED(2003).
the CHARIOT (USA)ex-NORMA JEAN. Solid State records. For fans of CONVERGE, ZAO, EVERY TIME I DIE, etc.
DIE! (I)Skateboard HC, 4 chord structures, short, fast, to the point and sick of all the bullshit! Pure, fast & furious. Think of GORILLA BISCUITS combined with an odd mix of old SUICIDAL TENDENCIES and D.R.I.
FIRST ALLIANCE (B)Local bone breaking beatdown metalcore in the vein of HATEBREED, FULL BLOWN CHAOS, IRATE, etc.
MDC (USA)Legendary, anthemic "Reagan-era" US hardcore/punk act. An honour to have them at Ieperfest 2006!!

the OCEAN (D) Heavy 'n harsh eclectic metalcore for fans of MASTODON, PELICAN, ISIS, NEUROSIS, etc. On Century Media rcs.

* There is no pre-sale yet & it will not start before June, so please be patient.

* We have a huge list of bands that wanna play the fest and there is no need to contact us on that matter. We have a good idea of the bands we wanna book. The harder you work for your band, the bigger the chance is that you will make it to the Ieperfest bill some day. Thank you.
