Ragnarökkr Metal Apocalypse 2013

Onslaught will almost certainly be touring during that time. Exumer though, holy shit! And it's definitely not their first US appearance, my buddy saw them at Thrasho de Mayo in LA a few years back. I'm so psyched to see Onslaught again though, both Killing Peace and Sounds of Violence are some of the best thrash albums of the past decade and the band annihilated when I saw them last year.

Edit: Was this the festival that had Brocas Helm last year? If so, these promoters are the greatest people ever.

Yeah that's this fest. It was held at a different venue last year though.

Just so everyone knows this venue is TINY. I mean like 500 people or so if that.

Not to mention, the best venue in Chicagoland.

I've only been there once (and that was for Anvil but I did get to go in that section above the stage and watch it!)

My friend's band, Seax, is confirmed for this show.

I saw them confirmed on the festival's facebook page, nice!

From the festival's Facebook:

The bad news is that Onslaught is out. This is because their record label, AFM Records, wants to postpone their USA tour so they can promote their (Onslaught's) new album more in Europe. Unfortunately, this means that Exumer, Bonded by Blood, and Fueled by Fire are dropping out as well since they were a part of the original Onslaught tour over here in the USA.

Damn, that's a pretty big blow to the festival. But in bigger news, Onslaught were taking out Exumer on a US tour?! Damn, either the band, their management or their record label seriously knows how to assemble a tour lineup. Last year they did Onslaught, Mpire of Evil and EvilDead which was fucking awesome, this year's Onslaught and Exumer + thrash babies would have been great as well.

That's a huge blow to the show. Really wanted to see those bands.

The best power/thrash/speed metal band in the fucking WORLD (who also happens to be located in Kansas City) just got confirmed!
