KERRY KING IS COMING TO ROCKSTADT!

A thrash metal icon like no other, Kerry King, Paul Bostaph, Kyle Sanders , Phil Demmel and Mark Osegueda are coming over to Transylvania for a full on sonic assault, full of original songs and also Slayer cuts.

Slayer’s final gig was on November 30, 2019, in the band’s Los Angeles hometown. But the night marked a new beginning for iconic Slayer songwriter/guitarist Kerry King. The band co-founder wasn’t nearly finished; he had much more brutal and provocative music brewing, stages to dominate, heads to roll. King’s sound and vision manifest in the 13 songs on From Hell I Rise, the first solo outing in King’s four decades of slaying the metal universe. His particular brand of blunt power, incisive lyrical themes, and aural assault are finally unleashed on May 17, 2024.

The arrival of one of the most anticipated albums of 2024--and one of the most eagerly awaited metal records ever—finds King beyond stoked. “It’s the best feeling I've ever had. There will be some faces punched in,” he says. The guitarist quickly addresses the most-asked question: “I think people are going to compare it to Slayer. I'm not afraid of that because I think it stands up to anything we've done in our history, musically, performance-wise.” That said, “There will be people complaining, ‘Why does it sound like Slayer?’ And ‘why doesn’t it sound more like Slayer? That's just what people do.”

Joining the King crusade is a lineup that began with Slayer drummer Paul Bostaph. “Paul's kind of like my [Vinny] Appice to Ronnie James Dio,” King says. “I knew Paul wanted to be part of this since 2018. My initial plan was to bring [Gary] Holt, but then I thought I probably shouldn’t have any more Slayer pieces, so that went Phil Demmel’s way.” The band is completed by bassist Kyle Sanders (Hellyeah), and in the much-talked-about vocalist spot, Mark Osegueda (Death Angel), a friend of King’s since the early ‘80s Cali thrash days. The lineup kills. From the instrumental entrée “Diablo” into the relentless, repentless “Where I Reign,” to the last cut, the statement-making, full-circle title track “From Hell I Rise,” King and co. are in full control. Music and lyrics are very intentional, with song topics including war, women’s rights, current American politics…and one-tune inspired by The Scorpions and Halloween-style riffs. (“That one, ‘Shrapnel,’ was something super-indulgent for me, and it came out really cool,” he says.)

King’s got, freedom, boundless creativity and the band to make it happen. Rightfully proud of his Slayer history, King’s unafraid to both mine it and to simultaneously move forward.

KRISIUN to perform Conquerors of Armageddon at Rockstadt Extreme Fest!

Krisiun’s infernal path started in Ijuí, Brazil, in 1990. The th*****me were inspired by a diverse array of extreme metal, including Slayer, Venom, Destruction, Motörhead, Morbid Angel and famed countrymen Sepultura. The group toiled for years before signing a deal with São Paulo based Dynamo Records and arriving at their now classic debut album, Black Force Domain, in 1995. Word spread quickly. Krisiun’s unbridled ruthlessness was absolutely riveting. They inked a deal with GUN Records in 1997 to continue the onslaught in Europe, which commenced officially with Krisiun’s first tour outside of Brazil on the Black Force Domain Tour.

Audiences were stunned by the trio’s full-throated, bloody-minded death metal. Since then, the legacy of brutality has been hoisted on battle flags like Apocalyptic Revelation
(1998), their worldwide Century Media debut Conquerors of Armageddon(2000), Works of Carnage (2003), Southern Storm (2008), and Scourge of the Enthroned (2018). Mortem Solis
continues the tradition of uncompromising musical insanity.

Conquerors of Armageddon is a seemingly overlooked and underrated brutal death metal gem. It is an album that is as remarkably brutal as it is comfortingly conventional in its ridiculously fast shredding death metal style. If you want some brutal death metal that is one like no other, check out Conquerors of Armageddon. Expect nothing but the best in death metal. Amazing work and intensity that is like no other. The music is fitting with utmost originality.

Maintaining urgency, authenticity and integrity has never been an issue for New York City’s hardest, and hardest working band, MADBALL.

In 1994 they caught the eye of New York-based Roadrunner Records, home to such acts as Sepultura, Biohazard and Machine Head, where they would release their next three albums, "Set It Off" in 1994, "Demonstrating My Style" in 1996, and "Look My Way" in 1998. Madball soon developed a national and international following with their relentless touring schedule that culminated in a 1995 Dynamo Festival appearance in front of 120,000 fans. The band took their music all over the United States, Europe, Japan, Australia and South America, sharing the stage with acts such as Black Sabbath and Slayer.

Their powerful live show coupled with their notorious streetwise credibility rendered Madball the seminal hardcore act from New York City, headquarters for the music and lifestyle that they proudly represent. Unrelenting in its assault, Madball's music was the voice of the urban youth, stripped of unnecessary flourishes and delivering the goods with a true clear voice.

Throughout the band’s storied history, Madball has asserted its mission; carrying forth a simple yet righteous cause, and this time around, they’ve chosen to define that cause more succinctly than ever before. Tornadic vocalist/front man Freddy Cricien explains, “If you’re not fighting for a cause, you’re not participating in life. Simple as that. Speak up, fight, educate yourself, make a difference and make sacrifices for what’s important to you.” Words to live by.

THE HYPE IS REAL!

Worldwide phenomenon Electric Callboy will perform for the first time in Romania, at Rockstadt Extreme Fest!

Electric Callboy is rewriting the music scene with its unique blend of styles. The band’s innovative sound spans from mixing German Schlager with deathcore (“Hurrikan”) to hardstyle-influenced industrial metalcore (“Parasite”) and a post-hardcore take on Cascada’s “Everytime We Touch.” Their musical prowess has earned them over 4.4 million monthly Spotify listeners and garnered a massive fanbase exceeding 2 million across platforms like YouTube, Instagram, X, Facebook, TikTok, and Discord.

The release of “Hypa Hypa” in June 2020, now gold-certified, marked a new era of greater success. Their loyal fanbase even amassed 100,000 signatures to push for their Eurovision 2022 participation. Despite not competing, 2022 saw their Hypa Hypa European tour sell out, and their album “TEKKNO” reached #1 in the German album charts.

In 2023, Electric Callboy sold out nearly their entire world tour and their second Escalation Fest. Their single “Everytime We Touch” amassed almost 30 million Spotify streams and over 13 million YouTube views. “We Got The Moves” went viral with 250,000 daily streams, joining “Hypa Hypa” with over 92 million streams.

Their latest collaboration with BABYMETAL on “RATATATA” garnered over 1 million streams and views within 24 hours of release, hitting #1 on YouTube Trends and making it into the Top 50 Viral Charts in over 42 countries, becoming one of the band’s biggest successes.

Legendary Hardcore titans, AGNOSTIC FRONT, are back at Rockstadt Extreme Fest!

In today’s civilization, people continue to suffer undergoing the grief, corruption, oppression and exploitation without a way to elude their troubles. Many have lived through these problems for ages, and the moment one tries to fight for what they believe is right, the elite brings them down and their voices are disregarded. For over a decade, AGNOSTIC FRONT has helped get these messages across to the populace to help solve these problems through socially driven music known as “hardcore.” In their latest offering, the band gives power and strength to these ignored voices. As one of theoriginal hardcore bands that lived and breathed the problems that controlled their everyday New York City lifestyle since 1983, they have been amongst the most venerable and notorious outcasts of this hardcore movement.

From the start, AGNOSTIC FRONT released a catalogue of fast and violent punk tunes consisting of distinctive and aggressive drumming, bass work, and a non-stop barrage of chaotic shouting. AGNOSTIC FRONT’s uncontrollable drumming and fuming guitars fill every minute like an onrushing storm of flailing limbs and incinerating transistors. The heavier paced balance between the energy and discipline of their earlier punk roots strikes a taut and vivid rock barrage that moshes in close formation. "It's social politics," Roger states. "The day-to-day reality of waking up, reading the newspaper, and walking around the neighborhood. It's a hard stare on why the world is still one f**ked-up place, and we tackle the very real s**t that's going down: gentrification's running rampant, street justice, world destruction, working wages, and backs are still being stabbed.

Long outliving their now-legendary contemporaries like Minor Threat, SSD, Dead Kennedys and Black Flag, AGNOSTIC FRONT could easily live off their laurels, but their fight is yet over! Throughout their storied history, AGNOSTIC FRONT have been anything but a ravishing group of individuals living prosperously and content. In fact, the band is more akin to have experienced growing up in adverse streets, undergoing arduous times, serving time in prison, become inflicted with murdered friends, the list would go on perpetually. But while there are definite vestiges of the past affecting them, they manage to continue and expose the conflicts they had to undergo in a compellingly evocative approach by relating it to their views of the world today
