with Dust Bolt 
Saturday, 05:30 p.m. // Motörhütt

With their current album SOUND & FURY, Dust Bolt push the boundaries of thrash metal without pandering.

Podcast Talk

“How the metal radio play was created” by L.B. Steel
Saturday, 04:00 p.m. // Motörhütt

‘L.B. Steel’ is the radio play series that the metal world has been waiting for without knowing it. When the heavy metal detective trio “Brigade Steelforce” investigates, no mystery remains unsolved, no head remains unshaken and no eye remains dry. The creators Nils Berger and Henning Heup give a glimpse behind the scenes, have a lot to say about the history of the creation (and the recordings with Udo Dirkschneider, Sabina Classen, Olli Schulz, Gerre Geremia and Tommi Piper, among others) and do not leave the stage without listening to samples from ‘L.B. Steel and the Creatures of the Night’ and ‘L.B. Steel and the Slave of Power’.

with Metal Hammer editor-in-chief Sebastian Kessler & MHP head booker Stephan Thanscheidt 

Saturday // 12:30 p.m. // Motörhütt

When those in charge speak, the seats in the audience fill up pretty quickly. This year, METAL HAMMER editor-in-chief Sebastian Kessler and festival organizer Stephan Thanscheidt will not only talk about the current festival issue and the ongoing challenges of the live market, but also about the 40th anniversary of the eponymous magazine. Your questions and ideas will be welcomed and your criticism will be taken seriously.

Reading

Till Burgwächter  - „Teufel, Tod und Heavy Metal“

Saturday, 02:00 p.m. //  Motörhütt

METAL HAMMER author Marc Halupczok alias Till Burgwächter is going astray: With his current book ‘When the Werewolf Rings Three Times’ he is leaving the heavy metal field a little and dealing with the best and worst horror films of all time. Horror, gore and lots of blood can be expected in his reading, as well as highlights from his numerous other publications such as ‘Dio Digitale – The Future of Heavy Metal’, ‘How To Survive Death’ and ‘Wacken – Popular Errors and Other Truths’.

Bowling with Equilibrium

May the best win!
