Co-organizer and Hatebreed frontman Jamey Jasta comments on the new additions, “The spirit of the original fest is alive, well and growing. People are traveling from all over the world to join us and the reaction to each line up addition keeps getting better. Now, with thrash legends Testament who have been our most requested band, power metal legends Hammerfall, Soilent Green reuniting, the new generation’s heaviest in Paleface Swiss, regional faves Casket Robbery and true old schoolers like Hellwitch, we are beyond stoked!
