Greetings, friends! One of the risks of booking early is that one can not see all circumstances, big or small. We unfortunately have two cancellations for 2011, and two replacements. As many of you already know, Asomvel’s Jay Jay tragically died in a car crash a little time ago. We at Metal Merchants Festival will [...]

Greetings once again, fellow metalheads! The time has come to reveal two of our last bands, and to be honest, two great bands, one from when we were kids, and one for the kids of today, both great metal bands for generations to come.
