Greetings!
As a newbie and shameless selfpromoter, I would on behalf of METAL MERCHANTS FESTIVAL tell you all a little about this little new old school happening of ours. If I should be so rude as to post this in the wrong section, I am positive that the moderaters will help us out with the right section.
But now, when all the politeness is done, to the point:
METAL MERCHANTS FESTIVAL is a brand new festival to be held in Oslo, Norway, january 30-31 2009.
So far, these bands have been announced;
ARTILLERY (DK)
Classic thrash metal act from Denmark. Every serious thrash metaller out there has heard, and does appreciate, their classic BY INHERITANCE album. http://www.myspace.com/artillerythrashmetal
MEKONG DELTA (GER)
German trendsetters in the tech thrash genre. For those with a taste for intriguing yet aggressive thrash metal, MEKONG DELTA is THE shit! http://www.myspace.com/mekongdeltaband
VENDETTA (GER)
Not as technical as M.D., yet not one for newbies. Classic thrash metal from Germany that peaked with the brilliant album BRAIN DAMAGE. Check it out! http://www.myspace.com/vendettapower
TRIVIAL ACT (NOR)
One of the hopes of the mid nineties prog metal scene, but unfortunately they never really took off after their brilliant debut MINDSCAPE. But now they're back, and don't be surprised if they show you some new stuff for the occation. http://www.myspace.com/trivialact
ENFORCER (SWE)
Swedish newcomers ENFORCER in the classic speed metal vein is one of the more refreshing new act for ages for us that love the eighties. A band to be heard from for years to come, this is killer stuff! http://www.myspace.com/enforcerswe
WARNING (UK)
From England comes the brilliant traditional doom trio WARNING, the band behind the critically embraced and genius work "Watching From a Distance". We are quite proud to welcome Pat Walker's gang to Norway, and this will not be soon forgotten by Norwegian doomster fans and travelling friends from all over.

In addition to this (and a few more bands yet to be revealed), we have a competent crew of DJ's showing up.
Geir Fosby of Norwegian classic and long running radio show HIGH VOLTAGE will join us and play solely from his more or less complete Mausoleum Records collection.
Götz Kühnemund of ROCK HARD MAGAZINE has cut off his ponytail, but not his incredible knowledge and dedication for heavy metal, and will be at METAL MERCHANTS FESTIVAL.
Fenriz of Darkthrone will also share his all time and sudden faves, and you can be there to share it with him.

If anyone should have any questions, you can make contact either here, at www.myspace.com/metalmerchantsfestival or at mail@metalmerchantsfestival.com .
We hope this roster is at someone's liking, and that we'll welcome as many of you ultimatemetallers as possible.
Best regards from Norway,
Stian
