Dear me. That's the worst band name ever.

from the official website

Hello everyone!

As promised, here is the list to be added to that of December 2008!

Nobody will be surprised to see names to satisfy all those who are fans of Hellfest and it will be Christmas amm over again!

Who can already boast having seen the fathers of American Doom PENTAGRAM the American Black Sabbath founded by Bobby Liebling who, unfortunately, didn't have as much fame but, nevertheless remains THE reference for all fans of these slow and wicked musics! The first and only date in europe will be at Hellfest! the real godfather of US Doom!

Not to forget without whom such artists as Neurosis, Napalm Death, Sepultura and many others, would never have found their different sounds! The inventor of Crust, AMEBIX is back in europe for one date only, connaisseurs will be happy and all others will listen attentively as extreme music wouldn't be the same without them!
The New Orleans scene figures in this year's addition as it was the where Sludge first appeared in the 80's so, we are proud to announce thet EYEHATEGOD, SOILENT GREEN, and KINGDOW OF SORROW will be there to swell the ranks on which promises to be a very special day! NOLA should also be there. Watch this space.......

The French connection will be present too! GOJIRA, DAGOBA who are getting stonger and stronger, ADAGIO and ORAKLE will be there for your delight!

Fans of Metal Extreme will be delighted to see nachtmystium a popular American group TAAKE the Scandinavian group and finally, DEICIDE, PESTILENCE, KATAKLYSM, MOONSORROW, KEEP OF KALSSIN and ABORTED will be present. But the biggest part is yet to come, the main course is served but the dessert will amaze the most brutal amongst you! Patience..

Last but not least, more hardcore than last year, the return of VISION OF DISORDER for one date only in europe, our national mad men KICKBACK, BLOODCLOT with former members of Cro-mags, Biohazard and Merauder, BETRAYED,SLAPSHOT, BLACK DALHIA, MURDER, DESPISED ICON, AUGUST BURN RED and TERROR so many names.

And finally.and thet won't cancel (we hope) COALESCE they know they are expected. Also VOLBEAT for all head-banging fans of Motorhead and WASP, UFOMAMMUT for all cavemen and GIRLSCHOOL with the ravishing JARBOE showing us that women have their place in this great festival!

Well, happy? Not yet?

There are still 40 groups to confirm with tops of the bill. We promised you that 2009 would be enormous!

sorry to keep quoting from the website, but this has managed to keep my attention especially the part about deicide being just a build up to something better!!!

"For FANS of WASP?" Does that mean WASP aren't actually playing?

Anyway, clearly worth it for Pentagram, Manowar and Heaven & Hell alone.

W.A.S.P is gonna be well fun

and girlschool were quite good live wen they supported Dio earlier in 2008!

Only like 14/15 bands that interest me...i hope they get another amazing headliner!

I need monies!

A real bonus of a festival like this is that all the bands tend to pop up in london before the festival. pestilence are playing the underworld a couple of days after my bday

Although it's Pentagram's only European date according to what you posted!

Haha! There was only about 5 that interested me at Wacken last year! Was still prime, so...

Yeah i think i saw maybe two bands that i enjoyed last year.

It was only prime 'cause me and the Billster were there.

How will we get large amounts of drugs into France though? For gods sake, think it through. We should just go to bloodstock and get really drunk and stoned and sit in a circle and have a better time. We can still have an epic party at bloodstock and loads of us can drive so we can missions into the town centre each day and get bacon etc...

Think it through...

Lets stay in a hotel and shit on our roots.

yeah, hence the holiday is a better idea
