Through their career, Hamlet have faced many of these moments (line-up changes, going through different labels, working with Colin Richardson...). The five piece from Madrid have overcome all of them using their talent and work ethic, but it's probably now where their find themselves facing their biggest challenge as they've just signed an international deal with Roadrunner Records to release their new album La Puta Y El Diablo (The Harlot And The Devil), ninth in their discography.

Risen out of ashes of the underground cult-band Bestial Warlust, the Australian black/thrash-masters DESTRÖYER 666 formed together under the vanguard of KK Warslut in the mid 90ties. Bellicose and freshened by undulated wolf's blood, the combo reached the top of the mountain of the metal-scene blatantly. With their still actual album "Defiance" the occult Outback-thrashers demonstrated their dark vitality once again. This summer the Australian brigade plans a fatal assault on your headbanger's holidays. Looking forward to this slaughter!

At night the devil cruises his hot sledge through the American city-backstreets. His co-driver is Dez Fafara: As a vocalist and well-known personality, Dez is perfectly informed about his diabolic attributes, not only to sweeten the last breath of a mother-in-law with his Mephistopheles-smile. Musically the master and his combo are following the vein of modern metal and open free ways for every kind of sanguinary fury. DEVILDRIVER reaches the boiling-point at the metal-scale: Fervently created products of crude brutality, dashing melodies and technical complexity speak out clear words confirming the success of these hellish racers, who will start a demonical race at METALCAMP 2010.

From the deepest and darkest places of Finnish forests, they creep... Cloaked in fur, fearsome and mysterious... The trolls from the highest north storm towards the South to celebrate a generous Humpaa-party, extremely opulent in consideration of drinking, having fun and honouring the troll myths. FINNTROLL will shake the METALCAMP festival with their exuberance and let the Finnish lunacy a free way. This horde is a true guarantor for a tippling night with a tremendous metal- and folk-factor - ideally for the upcoming partys at your headbanger's holidays!

Bitter, deadly coldness will be breathed in by the death-metal-maniacs of SADIST at METALCAMP 2010. Not only in their home-country Italy, the combo, which produces thrash-like death-hits since the early Nineties, belongs to the heaviest weights of the whole scene. Their actual smasher titled "Season In Silence" heaves the band into the foreground again and makes clear, that SADIST is still killing like on the first day of their career. This band represents another wall in metal, which never impends to fall and also cares for efficient fuel for the moshpits of today.

The Swiss Neo-Celts have reached to ring the bell for a new era in the mighty realm of pagan/folk metal and still posses the role of the vanguard within the "New Wave Of Folk Metal", after releasing longplayer-masterpieces such as "Spirit", "Slania" and "Evocation I: The Arcane Dominion". Never before, a band could build up the long-ranging bridge between Nordic folk music and typical melodic death metal in the Swedish vein. ELUVEITIE easily demonstrated the whole world of metal, that this venture is possible and impressively realizable. Now the march on the mysterious trails of the past continues...

Frontwoman Angela Gossow and her crew of ARCH ENEMY are ready to detonate their new smasher titled "The Root Of All Evil". The melodic death-metallers of the hour manufacture inevitable aggression and drastic rebellion into highest-class hymns of death-steele, of course by utilising Swedish metal-skills. After their marvellous performance at METALCAMP 08, ARCH ENEMY returns to keep you in touch with their brand-new stuff. So you'll get once more the opportunity to get roared to death by Angela!

Fearless, warlike and possessed by the religion and culture of Slavonic paganism, Russia's leading pagan-metallers join the battle at METALCAMP 2010 commanded by female singer Masha, whose epithet is not wrongly "Scream" and who gives ARKONA the true identity with her majestic voice. In contrast to other, common bands of the international heathen guild, ARKONA march on their very own paths, without showing consideration for trends or preferences within the scene. The history of the band's native territory as well as the ancient traditions, which are connected with, keep them truly alive. Be alert, when these warriors call for attack!

A new, raging flood is swamping over the European continent and leaving a special Viking-ship named WHILE HEAVEN WEPT, which comes from a completely new direction. Dale City (Virginia, USA) is the harbour of the 6-head-strong crew, who indulge metal music with experimental and neo-classical elements. Besides, their works are influenced by avantgard thoughts and incisive doom- and rock-basics. With their current album "Vast Oceans Lachrymose", WHILE HEAVEN WEPT delivers us a virtuoso burner in progressive epic metal.

The crude progressive metal of NEVERMORE whips through the prairie like a mad demon. Indeed vocalist Warrel Dane and his team take a stop at METALCAMP 2010 to break through metalcampers' reserve. Stone-cold guitar-sound and a very dark mood, which overlays the wonderful area of Tolmin like thick mire, represent the emphasis of the musical range of NEVERMORE. Never before metal from Seattle sounded more shattering.

Chris Barnes and his fellows leave their grave and directly head for METALCAMP 2010.

The time is ripe for a new battle through the fields of pagan metal. Developed by wolfish blood, a freshly-baked, heathen messiah rises up in the shape of a four-head horde, which is strictly faithful to the ancient believe. With "Blutaar" VARG unleashes a very special diamond in pagan music, which justifiably lays claim to the throne of Viking-metal-masterpieces. Now this armada hailing from Coburg, Germany announces its next pandemonium: At METALCAMP 2010 the warriors of VARG put on their wolf-skin for telling epic stories of an unbound beast to all headbangers.

When dark and bizarre heavy-rock-sounds metamorphose the sphere into a bleak-melancholic surrounding, which reflects the human sense in all its fragile empathy and wistfulness, the British gothic metallers of PARADISE LOST have obviously unleashed a new killer. This new, obscure masterpiece is called "Faith Divides Us, Death Unites Us" and demonstrates once more, that after 22 years of career, the godfathers of gothic metal still count to the strongest and most influential rock bands. Due to their use of innovative sound-variations - the impressing balance between rough doom, atmospheric electro, hard rock and sinister melodies - the band is still heading the gloomy side of heavy metal elementarily. PARADISE LOST created a monumental portrait of dark music in the beginning of the 90ties with great songs on classical albums like "Lost Paradise", "Gothic" or "Draconian Times". In 2010 singer Nick Holmes and his accomplices continue in living the black-white-contrast and are ready to turn the colourfulness of METALCAMP pale.

Florida's cult-combo in death metal is preparing for a spectacular invasion of Slovenia. OBITUARY still fly the flag of the old-school-league and bring you edged riffs and fat grooves to your headbanger's holidays. If you believe, that the triumphal procession of OBITUARY already ended in the 90ties, you're definitely wrong. The Tardy brothers, Trevor Peres, Frank Watkins and Ralph Santolla still know how to produce killer-songs of the highest rank. OBITUARY has always been an institution in pure death metal. They still are and will always be.

DECAPITATED were decisively involved in the rise of Polish death-metal-movement. Due to their unique style of metal, which is composed of significant high-grade technique and explicit melody-parts, the band reached the top of popularity within the scene rapidly. DECAPITATED could pave their way to the first-class-acts of Poland's extreme metal community, standing side by side with Vader and Behemoth. Despite of harsh calamities - the death of drummer Vitek during an accident with the tourbus has left deep scars in the history of the band - DECAPITATED formed up in 2009 again to continue a new chapter.

Definitely a hot thing, awaiting you at METALCAMP 2010.

The "Wrecking Crew" from New Jersey still holds the reins of the thrash-spirit in their hands and returns on stage to demonstrate the metal-world that the status of being a cult-band is not only depending on having a fat band-history or -discography.

INSISION invokes the depth of the underground and do not leave anything unharmed. The Swedish horde stands for brutal death metal, which forces you down on your knees unmercifully. A whole plant of steel is spinning around strongly related to the sound of bands like Suffocation, Monstrsity and Deranged and is rushing over the typical Swedish metal tradition. INSISION invokes the depth of the underground and do not leave anything unharmed.
