Open Air Festival METALCAMPSICILY III, which takes place on August 12 – 14 has announced the line up for this year’s edition:

For the very first time in Sicily, the blasting show of the Swedish extreme metal masters MARDUK. No further comment is needed! Further outstanding presence are the Finnish KORPIKLAANI, whose music blends black metal elements with humppa, a kind of Finnish polka; surely one of the most original and innovative bands of the last few years.

The French ALCEST, for the first time in Sicily too, will make the bill even more attractive for metal fans. The band performs a multi-faced mix between blasting extreme metal and dreamy ethereal post-rock sounds. Forerunners and maestro’s of the European blackgaze scenem, and the French E-Force with Eric Forrest ex Voivod.

Another must!Of course a wide space will be given to Italian bands, with the much-appreciated presence of the legendary NECRODEATH, one of the best thrash/black metal bands ever, and the virtuoso SECRETE SPHERE, for more refined tastes, featuring Aldo Lo Nobile, Death SS guitarist, and Michele Luppi, one of the finest Heavy Metal voices around – not only in Italy.The bill also features STORMLORD, extreme epic metal band from Rome, led by Christiano Borchi. With their latest release, “Hesperia” (a concept based on Virgil’s Aeneid), they stand among the excellence of Italian metal scene.

Sicily will be represented by the best underground bands but also by well known realities, among which we are really proud to announce the exclusive reunion show, after more than 20 years, of a real legend of Italian metal:
NUCLEAR SYMPHONY from Agrigento, the band who, with their Teutonic impressive thrash metal, was hailed as a miracle by the best metal magazines of the time.
