ATTACKER (USA)
***EXCLUSIVE SHOW IN THE NETHERLANDS!!!!***
The Lords of Thunder are back! New Jersey's own power/traditional heavy metal act ATTACKER, formed 30 years ago, strikes with their 5th album. What we have here is classic guitar work with true '80s feel, mighty galloping riffs, powerhouse drumming, thunderous bass, and last but not least: the bloody impressive vocal performance by the new singer, Bobby Lucas (ex-SEVEN WITCHES, OVERLORDE), straight from the Dickinson and Rivera school. All this goodness is rounded up with a well-balanced mix and production that steers away from the modern digital sound plaguing even some traditional metal albums. Musically talking, besides the two aforementioned bands, their music is closest to HELSTAR, LIEGE LORD, DESTINY'S END, VICIOUS RUMORS, JAG PANZER and obviously IRON MAIDEN. ATTACKER is a force to be reckoned with - although they celebrate their 30th anniversary, they kick more ass than most young bands today!

LORD VOLTURE (NL)
LORD VOLTURE is a heavy metal band hailing from The Netherlands founded by vocalist David Marcelis. After an explosive take-off in 2010 with the release of their debut album BEAST OF THUNDER and an intensive touring schedule, the band rapidly rises to find themselves in the frontier of Dutch Heavy Metal. The album thunders through the global metal community and reviewers worldwide count BEAST OF THUNDER among the major releases of 2010. LORD VOLTURE’s sound and style is said to resemble US power metal masters JAG PANZER, ICED EARTH, CAGE and VICIOUS RUMORS. The band’s ever growing reputation opens doors to many headline performances, as well as support shows for PRIMAL FEAR, FIREWIND, BLAZE BAYLEY, VANDERBUYST, James Rivera’s SABBATH JUDAS SABBATH, TOKYO BLADE and PICTURE.
With the release of the band’s second studio album NEVER CRY WOLF in November 2011 LORD VOLTURE progresses to the next level without abandoning their traditional sound nor the uncompromising energy that characterizes the debut album. The tradition to invite a renown guest set on BEAST OF THUNDER with ANNIHILATOR’s Jeff Waters is being continued on NEVER CRY WOLF with no one less than CAGE singer Sean Peck. But also the LORD VOLTURE members themselves show their worth. The piercing mid and high register of singer David, the shredding solos of guitar duo Paul Marcelis/Leon Hermans and the pounding rhythm machine of bass player Simon Geurts and drummer Frank Wintermans deliver all ingredients for the ultimate metal sound. For all who bear a heart of steel, LORD VOLTURE is a definite MUST! The band is currently working on a new album!!

POWERIZED (NL)
Powerized is a power metal band with progressive influences. Influenced by the likes of Edguy, Powerwolf and Avantasia, these six musicians from Breda (NL) have been playing extensively throughout The Netherlands since finding their current line-up in February of 2013. In doing so, Powerized have gained a formidable live reputation. From full-on headbanging extravaganza to breathtakingly beautiful songs, Powerized shows are captivating from beginning to end. With intense, clean vocals and an overwhelming, melodic metal sound, Powerized have just released their debut EP titled ‘My Creed’, which is bound to redefine Power Metal as we know it.
According Mario (MMM webmaster/owner and gig-organiser): During all these years I go to concerts (over 30 years already) not 1 Dutch singer ever gave me goosebumps; except for Powerized singer Nick Holleman who is the best powermetalsinger The Netherlands ever had!! Check these guys out and arrive on time!!!! You wont regret it!!!

ATTACKER (Exclusive show) & LORD VOLTURE

Attacker was erg goed in Tilburg. Niet te geloven dat ik eindelijk de klassiekers van "Battle at helms deep" (die eeuwig in mijn lijst van favoriete releases zal blijven staan), aangevuld met de nieuwe klassiekerss van de recente cd's, live heb kunnen zien. Wel zonde dat zo een klasseband in zo een klein zaaltje moet spelen maar goed, de band presteerder e er niet minder om! iedereen die het niet heeft gezien heeft wat gemist!

Tja em de opkomst was ook ver beneden peil.....maar inderdaad; ben blij dat ik ze uberhaupt kon boeken!
Was een erg gaaf optreden!!!!
