Which band will get to play Wacken Open Air this summer? The Wacken Metal Battle will be fought at the glorious live venue Hlégarður, on Friday 8. April. Headliner: DIMMA. This year 6 bands will compete in the battle for the main prize: Representing Iceland this summer at the Wacken Metal Battle finals at the Wacken Open Air, the world's biggest heavy metal festival. The winner of the Icelandic preselection will be chosen by an international jury, along with votes from the audience. Rounding off the night is a special guest appearance by local cock-rock powerhouse DIMMA, who have been kicking ass and taking names in the Icelandic scene recently with their latest efforts, Myrkraverk and Vélráð - albums that have moved copies like crazy. Combined with an endless string of live shows from Ísafjörður to Egilsstaðir - culminating in a sold out 1600 capacity show with an 80 piece symphony orchestra and a set of choirs last autumn - the band has cemented itself as one of the country´s biggest heavy metal acts. The following bands will perform: Special guest bands: DIMMA In The Company Of Men (last years winners of the Icelandic WMB battle) Bands in the Battle: Aeterna Auðn Churchhouse Creepers Grave Superior Lightspeed Legend While My City Burns Doors open 19:00 - starts 19:30.
