Reanimated three years ago, the iconic »MTV Headbangers Ball Tour« is set to haunt European stages once again in November and December 2019! After delivering all out thrash metal 2018, the fourth edition of the tour is nothing short of a breath-taking death metal package: The 17-show run will be headlined by Canadian melodic death metal heavyweights KATAKLYSM, who will be taking part in the tour for the second time after joining ICED EARTH, ENSIFERUM and UNEARTH in 2016. Presenting not only hits from their latest offering »Meditations« (2018), the quartet featuring Maurizio Iacono will of course also add some old smashers to their set list. Next on the bill are Knoxville, TN based metal squad WHITECHAPEL, followed by KATAKLYSM’s label mates, Italian symphonic death metal giants FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE who recently unleashed their fifth, chartbreaking studio album »Veleno« (May 24, 2019). Opening support on the run will come from UK death metal act DYSCARNATE. Death metal maniacs, you cannot miss out on this tour!
KATAKLYSM frontman Maurizio Iacano comments, “The campaign for »Meditations« has been incredible and what great way to finish it by headlining the »MTV Headbangers Ball Tour« across Europe with a killer and diverse line-up featuring WHITECHAPEL, FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE and DYSCARNATE. KATAKLYSM has some of the wildest crowds in the world in Europe and we look forward to visiting you once more and laying down the KATAKLYSM hurricane, you know how we do it, let’s make it memorable, get your tickets fast!”
FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE frontman Francesco Paoli adds, “We’re absolutely stoked to take part in this amazing tour. We’ll have the pleasure to perform some songs from our new album »Veleno« for the first time, and also come back to places we haven’t played for a very long time. The tour line-up is killer and extremely rich. We already shared the stage with all of these bands in the past and we do know they are, indeed, some of the best acts in today’s metal landscape. If you are a metal fan you don’t wanna miss this! We are ready, are you?”

Whitechapel launches video for new single “Hickory Creek”Artwork by Branca StudioOn March 29th, Whitechapel will release their 7th full-length, The Valley, via Metal Blade Records. Mixed by David Castillo, mastered by Ted Jensen, and produced once again by Mark Lewis (Cannibal Corpse, The Black Dahlia Murder), The Valley is a reference to the part of Hardin Valley (west of Knoxville, Tennessee) where vocalist Phil Bozeman grew up. Set against this backdrop, he approaches his subject matter unflinchingly, building upon everything that came before, making it clear that he has survived that which he was forced to endure and is not afraid to confront it. “Phil has been upfront in his lyrics in the past about hardships he endured in his life as a child, and I believe with this record we tried to paint a better picture of that,” says guitarist Alex Wade, who alongside his bandmates, stands 100% behind everything their vocalist has to say.
“I feel our music is Phil’s release from his past, being able to get it out and speak about it, and hopefully anyone who hears it that may have gone through similar experiences can find some release in it as well.”
For a preview of The Valley, the video for the new single “Hickory Creek” (directed by Mathis Arnell) can be seen now at: youtu.be/Lw6hANHeIaw

Anyone throwing The Valley on for the first time will immediately recognize it as the work of Whitechapel, yet as has been the case with each release, there is also evolution in play.
“Sound-wise, it’s all over the place,” Bozeman states plainly. “There’s aggression, and then you’re hit with ominous and emotional guitar riffs. It’s mean, but then transfers to soft and inviting. It’s a whirlwind of emotions throughout.”

]]>2019 TICKETSALES OPEN NEXT WEEK
On June 19-22, 2019, the gates to hell will open for the tenth time in Copenhagen. This will be celebrated with the ultimate tribute to hard rock and metal when HALESTORM, DIMMU BORGIR, ELUVEITIE, DEMONS & WIZARDS, BAEST, WHITECHAPEL, ALIEN WEAPONRY and many, many other bands from all corners of the world and the heavy music genres create an amazing music party. Ticket sales for COPENHELL 2019 will open at 10:00 on Tuesday, October 23 through Ticketmaster.dk.
2019 marks the tenth time that COPENHELL hits Copenhagen – and it will happen with full hurricane force! Together with the ticket sales opening, we start out by announcing seven of the approx. 50 powerful bands that will perform at the festival:With several great rock hits and a Grammy behind them, the American rockband HALESTORM is climbing steadily up the ranks towards the musical heavyweight class – not least by virtue of one of the best current rock singers, Lzzy Hale. Expect all-out sex, drugs and rock’n’roll with a band that established their format a long time ago and only keeps getting better and better.
DIMMU BORGIR has been one of the most requested bands ever since the first COPENHELL festival. It is with great pleasure that we bid these Norwegian musical extremists welcome to Copenhagen in 2019. We look forward to finally experiencing their innovative and progressive symphonic black metal live at the festival.
The Swiss band ELUVEITIE plays folk metal inspired by both celtic metal and melodic death metal – complete with fiddles, bagpipes and songs in Gaul. The grand ensemble creates a rich audio landscape, where beautiful acoustic passages are woven effortlessly together with heavier elements. Expect an extremely atmospheric concert.
The power metal icon Hansi Kürsch is not associated with only Blind Guardian, who gave an impressive concert at COPENHELL 2016. The side project DEMONS & WIZARDS, which Kürsch runs together with Iced Earth guitarist Jon Schaffer, combines inspiration from these two bands into a sound that will make all power metal fans roar with excitement when they perform at COPENHELL 2019 – hopefully with material from their upcoming album.
The Danish death metal act BAEST have showcased their skills at both When COPENHELL Freezes Over, on COPENHELL Metal Cruise and on the festival itself. It is therefore with great pleasure that we welcome them back at COPENHELL 2019, where they will land their musical deathblows from our second largest stage!
WHITECHAPEL is a true institution within the deathcore genre – not least because of Phil Bozeman’s guttural and bestial subwoofer vocals. Through more than a decade, this band has delivered extremely explosive and ferocious music and very engaging concerts. In 2010, they were among the bands that kicked off the very first COPENHELL festival, and we are very happy to see them back in Copenhagen in 2019!
The New Zealand teenage thrashers from ALIEN WEAPONRY will hit COPENHELL like a lightning bolt when they take the stage. These three young musicians mix metal with the Maori culture’s haka war dance in a unique and monstrously muscular music experience that you simply have to experience live.
Much more information to follow – not least about the upcoming COPENHELL 2019 headliners. We invite all fans of hard rock and heavy metal to join our celebration of ten years in hell next year.An unforgettable party awaits!
