Well, well, well, ..If it wasn’t enough to get Anthrax slamming their sound n couture all over Friday night, we now see them going head to head with American Thrash lords…Exodus..who now take centre stage for a double Thrash header which should blow the place to smithereens ….HF4 just seems to go on an all out… line up of destruction and seeing American Thrash Legends Exodus going on full assault with their Thrashtastic brothers only seems to sum up what’s going down at this years Hammerfest.

On to this announcement we see  us adding…. a Phoenix USA debut for Chemicals of Democracy, who Jonni’s new Rock agency Chic Talent, have been rigorously scouting out over the last 3 months, and now bring forward to their first UK performance albeit in front of the HRH / HF loyal. Joining them we have HF fav’s Arthemis and Scottish blood metalers Achren…all in all..another ballsy addition to an already incredible line up for HF 4.

Come forward and be FKD…hard !!!...This is true metal at its best

If you ain’t feeling it, you are already FKD !!!

Viking Metal Mayhem reaches Hammerfest IV

Further to recent speculation, we can now confirm that the mighty Amon Amarth will be tearing apart Hammerfest on main stage, Saturday night. With the Hammer of Thor being the theme for March, its only too right we make sure that these Viking Gods grace the stage and do what they do best……tear yer heads off!!!

Joining them will be German power Metallers….Wizard…who will be concocting their own set of Norse Mythology just to stay in line with AA. And just to add a curve ball, we have The Painted Smiles joining us , led by ex Six Th frontman, Mikee Goodman.

Last weekend saw the finals of Highway to Hell 2 produced 6 New Blood bands for HF IV, Overall winners were Gentleman of Distorted Sound, with will earned coveted slots going to Trucker Diablo, Kyrbgrinder, Savage Outlaw, Spirytus and Inferno for good measure. HTH2 had over 1000 bands apply and these finalist slots were selected from a final 24 play off in Glasgow’s Classic Grand last weekend.
