DESTRUCTION, HAMMOND PAGAN, AND PADERBORN POWER @DONG



Our friends of the DONG Open Air have news:

DESTRUCTION, HAMMOND PAGAN, AND PADERBORN POWER!
Care for a little more thrash? No one less than the Teutonic thrash icon Destruction will make you line up for their pit’s role call up on Mount Moshmore. The Mad Butcher will – alongside Exodus – will beat your blood in and back out, promised!
Alvenrad from the Netherlands will serve you a side of never heard blend of melodic folk metal, blast beats, and Hammond organ!
Last but not least, we are happy to announce the return of Torian! The Paderborn-based Dong veterans are experts in the field of catchy power metal choruses – we’re looking forward to many raised fists during “Diamonds and Tyrants”!
Never heard of these folks, but care to change that sorry state? No problem, drop by our band profiles and listen to the audio samples!
If you like what you hear, get your ticket now, because we have seen worse sales in our shop and on metaltix.com…

Up the horns,
Your Dong Team
