Attending for my 13th festival, I can safely say now that I base most of my years plans around what has come to be the world’s largest metal festival, or from my humble perspective, Europe’s biggest party. It’s 75’000 metalheads, nearly 80 top notch bands, 1000’s of litres of beer, and simply a joyful occasion shared by all, no matter how bad the weather is. And for the last 3 years it’s been pretty bad.

Not stopping for anything the band forged ahead again, with The Negation further cementing their sound until their Death Metal zenith that was Organic Hallucinosis.
