Metalism UK & Ragnarok UK Metalfest are very pleased to announce that one of the two special guests to perform at this year’s festival will be none other than Sweden’s longest standing melodic death metal pioneers DARK TRANQUILLITY!

The band will take time out of their recording sessions to grace the inaugural Ragnarok UK festival on Saturday 4th November 2006 at Perth Concert Hall, Central Scotland. The new album will be the follow up to 2004’s critically acclaimed “Character” album. A band with arguably no weak album among their impressive back catalogue are surely not to missed in what will be a rare 2006 performance.

Add this to the only 2006 UK performance of Germanic power legends GAMMA RAY, the ONLY confirmed 2006 appearance so far for Swedish traditional metallers DREAM EVIL as well as debut UK shows from KALMAH, CHARON & CIRCUS MAXIMUS as well as sets from ASTRAL DOORS, ELVENKING, INTENSE & HEADLESS CROSS as well as 1 more band to be confirmed, Scotland’s first REAL heavy metal festival is shaping up to be an event that no metal fan can afford to miss! The running order for the festival is as follows.

Why oh why can't this festivals be here?!? Oh yeah, we're poor, so we can only afford one or at the most 2 bands per gig :cry: . AHHHHH IT REALLY SUCKS LIVING IN A 3D WORLD COUNTRY, DOESN'T IT?

Dammit.

Something that I noticed was that Dream Evil is in the lineup. Hehe I thought that band didn't exist anymore, I was quite schocked whrn seeing it on the list.

Wow, I really hope Dt plays some new songs. Quite unlikely, but still, it'd be nice/shocking/orgasmic and it'd make me (and another few thoudand of fans) happy.
