Rockstad: Falun 2012

ROCKSTAD FALUN has issued the following, and confirmed 3 more bands for Rockstad: Falun 2012.

HYPOCRISY: We have had lots of requests for a slightly rougher and tougher line-up for years. In 2012 we feel it is high time to put some more focus on such bands at the festival! Therefore, one-of-a-kind Dalecarlian icon Peter Tägtgren and his hard rocking Hypocrisy are more than welcome to join Rockstad:Falun in 2012! The show, which according to Peter will be offering the very best the band has to give in every way, will also be exclusive to this part of Sweden throughout the summer. The long awaited the DVD “Hell of Sofia – 20 years of chaos” will be released on October 14th and will be the perfect build-up for all Hypocrisy fans during the winter months! www.facebook.com/hypocrisy

ENGEL have, with their industry-flirting melodic death metal, created their own niche within the so-called Gothenburg sound. Broad and easily listened to, without compromising on the roughness of the music. In addition the band, given their common merit list, could easily call themselves a Swedish super group. They prefer not to though – they’d rather let the music speak for itself. www.engelpropaganda.com

F.K.Ü, Thrash Metal with a horror-movie theme? That’s how this Uppsala-based band like to describe their sound.
F.K.Ü have been active since 1998, and have since then released three albums and a bunch of vinyl singles. Their latest album “Where Moshers Dwell” received great reviews from both Sweden Rock Magazine and Close Up Magazine. We have had our eyes on FKÜ for a long time, and now was the time to book them for a show in Falun! www.moshoholics.com
