The great anticipation grows for the next edition of “Gods Of Metal”, which will be held June 22, 2011 in Milan – Italy. The bill is quite appetizing, already now. JUDAS PRIEST will headline the festival with their farewell tour. The band has chosen, in fact, Gods Of Metal to say farewell to the Italian public, as there are no other shows in Italy, either before or after GODS OF METAL 2011! Among the other confirmed bands are WHITESNAKE and CRADLE OF FILTH!

WHITESNAKE, loved by the Italian hard rockers, after their sold-out, recorded in Padova (Italy) in summer of 2008, they are back with a new album which is scheduled for release next spring. On this occasion, many Italian fans can enjoy about new songs of “King David” Coverdale’s band, as well as unforgettable classics of the ’80s like ‘Here I Go Again’, ‘Is This Love’, ‘Give Me All Your Love’ and more … WHITESNAKE, needless to underline, is the most important hard-rock band of all times and their show at Gogs Of Metal, creates great expectations.

CRADLE OF FILTH, instead, have recently released their new album ‘Darkly, Darkly, Venus Aversa’ widely respected by critics and audiences. The band, led by Dani Filth, has now opened up their horizons to more classic sounds, in Iron Maiden-style, fixed to the black-symphonic vein, and all this gives the guaranteed remark to the band. The dark environment and worthy stories, likewise Edgar Allan Poe, have made CRADLE OF FILTH a reference in the European metal scene and it will be a pleasure to see them on stage of GODS OF METAL 2011 after many years … welcome back!
