3) HEAVY METAL NATION III news
The running order for HEAVY METAL NATION III is complete with 18 bands!
HEAVY METAL NATION III Release Party
Sa 16.09.06 - Rock City , Uster (ZH) - 6 bands off HMN III live in concert: Grande Fiesta!
Admission: CHF 15.- (CHF 25.- w/ CD)
Event organised by S.O.M.M.
For all the Swiss boys and gals among you who want the national football/soccer team to win whatever trophy they're struggling for at the moment:
BUY OUR HEAVY METAL NATION CDs! They have the Swiss Cross on them as well as every t-shirt, Rolls Royce and every corn flakes box these days.
This will help the team just as much as hanging a flag out of the window and buying cookies with the cross on them: absolutely NOTHING.
But it would help us a huge deal.
Für alle die Schweizer Jungens und Mädels unter Euch, welche die Nationalmannschaft bei deren Umeinanderrennen wegen einem Silbertopf unterstützen:
KAUFT UNSERE HEAVY METAL NATION-CDs! Wenn das ein Alibi ist: Sie haben auch ein Schweizerkreuz auf dem Cover - genauso wie jedes T-Shirt, jeder Rolls Royce uns jede Cornflakesschachtel dies momentan auch hat.
Mit diesem Einkauf unterstützt Ihr das Team genauso, wie wenn Ihr eine Flagge raushängt oder Guetsli mit dem Kreuz drauf futtert: überhaupt nicht.
Aber Ihr würdet uns riesig unterstützen.
----------
Check out Gigs and Mabon – our "Sirnach Bay Area" Thrashers are all over Switzerland this year.
They won the Musicacts Contest which got them the opening slot at the Openair Frauenfeld this upcoming Friday, they got into the finals of the Swiss Metal Battle for Wacken (congratulations, Morbus Gravis!) and they will set Uri aflame with Requiem, Disparaged and Fleshcrawl!
Pÿlon recordings finished!
Nobody would have believed it anymore, but the recordings for Pÿlon’s second album are finished. … How long the mixing process will take, God only knows. That's DOOM, my friends!
http://pylon-doom.net
Lots of great CH bands at the Z7 Metal Days – amongst them Anxiety, the mighty album closers of HEAVY METAL NATION II.
