Metalfanatics Board

Statement: "For 24 years, Swedish death metal legends VOMITORY laid waste to stages all over the world and released eight successful albums before laying down their arms in 2013. In 2017, they reunited for one show to honor an old friend. The band had such a good time playing again that the thought of future battles together started to grow like a seed in blood-drenched soil. 2019 will mark the 30th anniversary of VOMITORY's supreme death metal and prove to be the perfect year to celebrate by wreaking havok to stages all over the planet again. Death metal supremacy!"

Dornenreich -official- @ Kaltenbach Open Air 2019
Exclusive show in Austria

Statement of the band:

“LEBEN UND LEIDENSCHAFT Tour 2019” (feat. Eklatanz of Heretoir on Bass/Vocals)

In order to honour and to celebrate the release of the Dornenreich Vinyl Compendium – which is going to include all the band’s works to date in a lavish box on no less than twelve LPs – the always wayward Dornenreich are going to bring you some highly intense metal gigs in 2019.
Among other things, their set-list for this tour is going to feature tracks from their most influential albums “Hexenwind” and “Her von welken Nächten” which are going to be performed with all clean vocal parts for the first time in more than ten years. In this endeavour, Dornenreich are going to be supported by no less a person than Eklatanz, the mastermind of Heretoir, a long-time friend of the band who will assist them on bass and vocals.
Eviga on the subject of this tour: “After the long, long work on our vinyl box which made me dig deep in our discography and history, I remembered our tour with Heretoir in 2014 when we talked with David/Eklatanz about how well his special voice and his deeply emotional stage performance would blend with the spirit of Dornenreich’s older pieces – and thus we set the ball rolling ...”
Yet this tour and its moniker – which translates as “Life and Passion” and is also serving as the band’s own mantra for years now – has another important layer of meaning for Eviga: “With these concerts, we aim to commemorate and honour my father’s contribution to Dornenreich as painter of the band’s classic cover-artworks such as ‘Bitter ist’s, dem Tod zu dienen,’ ‘Durch den Traum,’ or ‘Flammentriebe.’ After a longer period of private mourning, it is now time to let our audience know that my father passed away in 2017 – before he was able to finish his work for the vinyl box. I know that my father’s paintings mean a lot to large parts of our audience – and with his death, an era of the band comes to an end as well. Above all else, this is what we would like to honour and communicate with this tour and with its moniker as the spirit of the tour that connects us all – beyond all earthly borders: LIFE AND PASSION ...!”

Theotoxin @ Kaltenbach Open Air 2019

In April 2016, ex-members of Zombie Inc. and Hollenthon formed this blasphemous horde. Just one year later, THEOTOXIN released their debut album "ATRAMENTVM" which received positive feedback all around the globe. With their second output "CONSILIVM", this Viennese/Austrian band is ready to spread the word of extreme metal at Kaltenbach Open Air 2019.

Sinister Official @ Kaltenbach Open Air 2019

We are proud to announce that the Dutch Death Metal monsters of SINISTER will crush our metal mountain madness in 2019. Classics like "Diabolical Summoning" or "Hate" made them legends but also their latest output "Syncretism" proved that there is much more to come. Bang your heads!

LEHM @ Kaltenbach Open Air 2019

Fear, emptiness, depression, nature. All and nothing or Post Doom Metal at its best. LEHM from Graz, Austria will bring darkness over Kaltenbach Open Air 2019.

INTERREGNUM @ Kaltenbach Open Air 2019

In a time, when all the myths and legends of the ancient gods fell silent and old pagan battles were nothing but history, five Austrian warriors arose and brought these fierce legends back to life. After INTERREGNUM were forced to cancel their show at this year's edition, they will catch up on it in 2019. So bow your head to the pagan gods.

Avulsed Official @ Kaltenbach Open Air 2019

AVULSED are without any doubt the most veteran and constant band in the Spanish extreme metal scene since its inception in August 1991. Famous for their brutal live performances, these death metal sickos will certainly lay our beloved metal mountain in ashes.

Ewïg Frost @ Kaltenbach Open Air 2019
You always wanted to know how it sounds when you are speeding down a highway, which leads through a post-apocalyptic desert, while the end of the world is breathing down your neck? EWIG FROST will give you the sonic answer at Kaltenbach Open Air 2019. Are you prepared?

Wiegedood @ Kaltenbach Open Air 2019

As the final part of the “De Doden Hebben Het Goed” trilogy (translation: “The Dead Have It Good”), WIEGEDOOD’s newest album, De Doden Hebben Het Goed III, is a natural extension of its predecessors. What the three albums share sonically, a violent yet epic brand of Black Metal, they also share thematically and physically. Part III blends the atmospherics of Part I and the aggression of Part II. The band says they have “found the perfect crossover”. And finally, the albums also benefit from similar covers, photographed by Stefaan Temmerman, where nature and the WIEGEDOOD sigil play important parts of the whole. Against this backdrop, WIEGEDOOD is the perfect match to sonically paint our beloved glade black.

Evil Invaders @ Kaltenbach Open Air 2019

This Belgian band delivers the ultimate expression of aggression. Undoubtedly, EVIL INVADERS will guide you through a relentless and twisted journey which every extreme metal music fan should relate to. After touring extensively through different continents in support of their debut album “Pulses Of Pleasure” (2015) and follow-up EP “In For The Kill” (2016), EVIL INVADERS have managed to capture the ultimate collection of adrenaline and compressed violence on their recent album ‘Feed Me Violence’, released on Napalm Records

Rotten cold @ Kaltenbach Open Air 2019

These sickos are now terrorizing the local underground scene with their brutal but nevertheless technical mixture of Grindcore and Death Metal since 2000. The title of ROTTEN COLD's latest full length "Grind Culture" says it all. Get ready to be grinded.
