Max Cavalera recently put out his autobiography, so there's no need to tell the story of his departure from Sepultura and forming SOULFLY here. What is import_ant however, is the fact that we have both SEPULTURA and SOULFLY on the bill.We're also proud to announce that elusive black metal cult known as CULT OF FIRE will play our fest once again! We remain the one and only open air fest they ever agreed to play and we will make this a very special show, stay tuned for more. From Israel or Netherlands more precisely we will have MELECHESH playing their middle east influenced black metal. From Melbourne, Australia NE OBLIVISCARIS will bring their own way of mixing progressive with classic and melodic with extreme metal. For the fans who like to discover new things we confirm shamanic music ritual of Bön tradition as performed by PHURPA, group of Russian artists focusing on ancient tibetian traditions. Finally, the bands MAXIMUM PENALTY and WISDOM IN CHAINS will represent american hardcore scene. We're now updating all the bands' profiles at our homepage, so take a look!

We've just received a terrible news from ATTOMICA, today Alex Rangel tragicly died in motorcycle accident. We're expressing our deepest pain and sending our condolences to the band. Redaction Oldschool Metal Maniac& Thrashing Madness

Originally Hexenhammer was conceived in 1984 with members Ronnie Dean on guitar, bassist Tony Pruitt, drummer Andy Thornburg, guitarist Gene Davis, and vocalist Mark Warren. Over the next four years the band would re-locate to Jacksonville, Fl. and back to Tennessee while trying to find a foothold in any welcoming metal scene they could find, meanwhile struggling to hold together a solid line-up. In 1987 the band settled in Columbia, TN. and after some personnel changes an official line-up of the band would be solidified the following year.

That same year in 1989 Hexenhammer would issue a two song demo quickly followed by the D.I.Y full-length release ‘Underground’ in 1990. The release would receive considerable press in zines and metal magazines both in the U.S. and abroad. Unfortunately as things seemed to start rolling for Hexenhammer that year, they wou

ld also mysteriously disappear without a trace.
For years since Hexenhammer’s disappearance fans and collectors alike have spoken of the band as if some obscure myth. Now after years of searching Heaven and Hell Records has finally found them and will soon release the Hexenhammer recordings for the first time ever on CD. All tracks will be re-mastered by Jamie King at The Basement Studios from the best source material available, including the ‘Underground’ full-length, and some bonus tracks. The CD will also include never before seen photos, lyrics and an essay. Cover art by Steven Cobb.

Whispers from the underground have spoken of a hooded band from Columbia, TN. that created haunting, doom-ish heavy metal. For over two decades this mysterious and allusive band has been lost in the depths of obscurity… until now.

These recordings are rare treasures off U.S. metal and soon will finally be restored and presented to the Hexenhammer fans. Set for release in June of 2015
