So Metal Merchants Festival 2009 is history. But what a great piece of history! We won’t mention names, because people competed in being the best, the nicest and the most motherfucking metal beings the world has ever seen. We’ve had feedback from bands, crew, audience, parents, girlfriends, mothers in law, the owner of the venue, every god damned soul ever affected by heavy metal in Norway, that this was one for the books.
And to be honest, we totally agree. We won’t make this very long, but it goes out to all of you when we say “THANK YOU, HEADBANGERS!” We’ve added a few pics to the site, but if you want to check out even more pictures, look up Audun Nordseth on Facebook, or Red Art on Myspace.
And for the last issue that everyone’s been asking; is there gonna be another Metal Merchants Festival? It’s no secret that we lost some money on this. Not to mention all the work we had to put into it, maybe leaving both girlfriends and jobs behind. Besides that, we really wouldn’t like to have a reputation of giving too much beer and too loud music to metal fans all over. Really, we’d prefer staying home, having a zip of wine, watching Desperate Housewives. Or….? Fuck that, we’ll see you all around for METAL MERCHANTS FESTIVAL II IN 2010!!! TAKE CARE!
