Following the return of legendary guitarist <strong>Frank &#8220;Blackfire&#8221; Gosdzik<\/strong> and the addition of <strong>Stefan &#8220;Husky&#8221; H\u00fcskens (ASPHYX) <\/strong>on drums, the band fronted by <strong>Tom Angelripper<\/strong> will play an exclusive show based on their masterpiece <strong>&#8220;Agent Orange\u201d<\/strong>, as the album celebrates the 30th anniversary of its release this year. Here&#8217;s the official word:<br \/> \u00a0<br \/> &#8220;We also have the pleasure of bringing back to Italy one of the most popular extreme metal bands of the last decade: <strong>BATUSHKA<\/strong>. The Polish black metal band led by guitarist and composer <strong>Krzysztof Drabikowski<\/strong> will perform a special show surrounded by their usual amazing stage scenography. Expect songs from the beautiful debut album <strong>\u201cLitourgiya\u201d<\/strong> and from its worthy successor &#8220;<strong>\u041f\u0430\u043d\u0438\u0445\u0438\u0434\u0430<\/strong>&#8220;.&#8221;<br \/> \u00a0<br \/>&#8221; This year we are putting an emphasis on the extreme side of metal, hence we are honoured to welcome the legendary <strong>PESTILENCE<\/strong>! The Dutch band founded by <strong>Patrick Mameli<\/strong> has defined the thrash and technical death metal movement with records such as <strong>&#8220;Malleus Maleficarum&#8221;<\/strong>, <strong>&#8220;Consuming Impulse&#8221;<\/strong> and the more progressive-oriented <strong>&#8220;Testimony of the Ancients\u201d<\/strong>. These are essential records for any metal fan!&#8221;<br \/> \u00a0<br \/> &#8220;Talking about fundamental bands, here\u2019s an act that has been able to perfectly combine the darkness of black metal with the brutality of death metal since their debut <strong>&#8220;The Nocturnal Silence\u201d<\/strong>, which is still considered one of the most important albums in both genres. Following their excellent comeback album <strong>&#8220;Mark of the Necrogram\u201d,<\/strong> we are truly honoured to add <strong>NECROPHOBIC<\/strong> to the line-up!&#8221;<br \/> \u00a0<br \/> This new announcement ends with the masters <strong>MALEVOLENT CREATION<\/strong>, the band that gave us undisputed masterpieces such as <strong>&#8220;The Ten Commandments&#8221; <\/strong>and <strong>&#8220;Retribution&#8221;<\/strong>, authentic milestones of the Floridian death metal scene.<br \/> \u00a0<br \/> Stay tuned because more bands and further details will be announced in the coming weeks!<br \/> \u00a0<br \/> <strong>TICKETS:<\/strong><br \/> \u00a0<br \/> Pre-sale: \u20ac39.00 + fees<br \/> At\u00a0the door: \u20ac45.00<br \/> \u00a0<br \/> Tickets are already available on\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/anubipress.us12.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=60fa509833157739650195a04&amp;id=71b94e03b5&amp;e=86fddd1c7b\" target=\"_blank\">Ticketone<\/a>\u00a0and via any other authorized retail channel.<br \/> \u00a0<br \/> <strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/metalitalia.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">METALITALIA.COM<\/a> FESTIVAL 2020<\/strong><br \/> <strong>Live Music Club \u2013 Trezzo sull\u2019Adda (Milan)<\/strong><br \/> <strong>Saturday, 26th September 2020<\/strong><br \/> <strong>SODOM<\/strong>\u00a0(Agent Orange special show)<br \/> tba<br \/> <strong>BATUSHKA<\/strong><br \/> <strong>PESTILENCE<\/strong><br \/> <strong>NECROPHOBIC<\/strong><br \/> <strong>MALEVOLENT CREATION<\/strong><br \/> tba<br \/> tba<br \/> \u00a0<br \/> Facebook event <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/anubipress.us12.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=60fa509833157739650195a04&amp;id=d1c40095f3&amp;e=86fddd1c7b\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>HERE<\/strong><\/a><br \/> \u00a0<br \/> Info:<br \/> <br \/> <strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/metalitalia.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">METALITALIA.COM<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Metalitalia.com, Vertigo and Cerberus Booking are proud to reveal the first confirmed bands for the&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_mo_disable_npp":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-78521","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78521","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=78521"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78521\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":78523,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78521\/revisions\/78523"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=78521"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=78521"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=78521"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
