The festival organizers have announced a handfull of new bands to the next edition:

It is inevitable: the summer and therefore this year’s festival season is coming to an end. But the open air and metal music lovers must not put their cut-offs too far away! Winter is coming – and with it the chance to combine two essential things: holiday and heavy metal music. At the end of March 2017 Full Metal Mountain welcomes skiing and snowboarding metalheads from all over the world. The main goal of this week: cruising down the pistes of one of the top 10 skiing areas in Austria while celebrating heavy metal at every corner of the zone. For the Winter-Holidays on Metal five new bands confirmed their show.

Undoubtedly Parkway Drive has the longest journey: the five boys from Byron Bay are turning their back on the Australian summer to provide for the right Après-Ski sound in the snow-covered Alps. Next to a new singer, the freshly confirmed Asking Alexandria are bringing their new album to Full Metal Mountain. And the five guys from England could arrange offer a lift to Dragonforce who are also from the UK and also playing at FMM in 2017. Not only that their extremely fast played melodic power metal frequently causes a sore neck, the British boys are always good for a surprise. Guitarist Hermann Li for example did a solo at the Full Metal Cruise in 2015 in the pool – with his head under water. At the moment Axxis does not have this kind of stunt in their repertoire but they are looking back on 25 years of heavy metal. In 2017 their path will lead the German hard rock band to the Full Metal Mountain stage. Last but not least tuXedoo are confirmed for the billing 2017: the Austrian home boys already conquered the Mountain Stage this year and made sure that no skiing boots stood still.
