Onheil
It is march 2007 when “The New Onheil” arises. Formed by the fusion between “The Old Onheil”, a well known band in the Benelux underground with 1 MCD, and Martyr, a melodic Black Metal band, having released 2 albums on American recordlabels.This new line-up has 3 guitarists and 2 lead vocalist giving them more possibillities to expand their own unique Blackened Metal sound.

The band played on festivals like Party-San, Metal Méan, Zabbadushder Open Air, headlined Gahlen Moscht, Stonehenge, Occultfest and did many indoor shows. They shared the stage with bands like Cannibal Corpse, Watain, Entombed, The Devil's Blood, Mayhem, Vader, God Dethroned and many many more.

Currently, Onheil is preparing new artillery. The band is aiming for the fall in 2013 to unleash the new CD. The Storm Is Coming...

Badlands
Badlands is a Dutch streetpunk outfit formed around singer/songwriter Victor Nefkens. The band started out in 2000 and released 4 full-length albums until now. 2 of the albums were licensed by GMM records and released for the U.S. market. Right from the start Badlands had a huge die hard underground following. Many regard Victor as the most skilled vocalist the streetpunk scene has ever seen and Badlands as one of the most underrated bands in the scene. From 2013 on, Badlands is back after 5 years of radio silence with a new full-length album and an all out live attack all over Europe. Don’t miss out!

Bunch of Bastards
Far from reaching the levels of perfection achieved by the likes of Pogues and Flogging Molly, the Bunch of Bastards like to think they at least drink from the same source for inspiration.
The Bunch of Bastards pay respect to their heroes by playing the odd song written by them. They also pick the odd traditional from the big book of traditional folk songs, not without genuinely spicing things up though.
But foremost, they add their self-penned stuff to the ever expanding number of songs out there that can either be described as energetically melodic or melodically energetic.
Their songs deal with the downsides of life − such as remorse, illness, death, war and the arbitrariness of it all − as well as with life’s upsides − such as the blessings of love, music and alcoholic beverages. Either way, as one of their songs points out, “there is many a good reason to drink many a good pint”!.

Heteroclite submetal

Ik stond daar ook van te kijken ja. We kennen ze natuurlijk allemaal van de gabbermetal/michael jackson stijl, maar kennelijk is er iets drastisch veranderd binnen de band. Zelf wist men daar in een recent interview het volgende over te vertellen:

"We've changed our sound mainly because we refuse to be part of any kind of hype. We've seen a lot of hypes in recent years, like emocore, deathcore, postmetal, postrock, occult rock, the list goes on and on. We don't want te contribute to hypes so we pulled the plug out of the gabbermetal/mj music form before it became the new trend. See us as something like The Devil's Blood but we pull the plug at an even earlier stage, because we want to distance ourselves as far as possible from commercialism. Besides that, we have evolved as musicians, as we found ourselves kicking against the boundaries of the gabbermetal/mj style of music. It was all a process of natural evolution, we didn't force anything. You evolve and you evolve and before you know it you have invented a complete new genre. So here we are again: heteroclite submetal all the way."

tot vrijdag!

Helaas heeft Badlands op het laatste moment moeten afzeggen, vanwege een keelontsteking bij de zanger/gitarist. Zowel Onheil als Speed Demon spelen een langere set dan aanvankelijk gepland. All Saints Flood vervangt.

Nieuw tijdschema:
19:00 uur: deuren open
19:30 uur: Bunch of Bastards
20:20 uur: All Saints Flood
21:10 uur: Onheil
22:30 uur: Speed Demon

Festerfest was in alle opzichten een geslaagd festival. Bedankt aan iedereen die gekomen is! Ondanks dat de organisatie tegen de nodige obstakels is opgelopen, zijn deze allen overwonnen en terzijde geworpen op weg naar de volmaking met wat begon als een vaag idee en na lang wikken en wegen, onderhandelen, skypen en het bedrijven van andere vormen van communicatie is geworden tot wat het was.

Een interessante constatering die de artistiek directeur bij de evaluatie deed is de volgende:

'What touched me the most about the festival was that all kinds of people were joining the festival, you had metalheads, punks, skins, folkies, heteroclites and even a sporadic gabbermetal addict (hoping Speed Demon would return to its former self). All of these subgenres blended together and for one night they had all turned into what I and most of the members of the staff call 'festerpeople'. What happened can only be described as pure magic and I still feel the purity of bliss when I rethink this night'.

Hij had dit niet beter kunnen verwoorden wat mij betreft. Uiteraard betekent dit dat er volgend jaar wederom een Festerfest zal zijn! De organisatie is al druk bezig met de eerste voorbereidingen en gedachtensprongen. Tot volgend jaar!
