SEATTLE METAL FESTIVAL RETURNS IN 2007 WITH
HEADLINERS OVERKILL AND 7 NATIONAL ACTS


SEATTLE- Returning after a three-year hiatus, the Seattle Metal Festival
will be on Jan 20, 2007, at The Showbox in Seattle, Washington.

This year’s lineup – a mixture of metal veterans from the US and abroad, as
well as up and coming national acts - will be: Overkill, God Forbid,
Destruction, Into Eternity, Ghoatwhore, The Human Abstract, Mnemic, and
Arsis.
The festival is promoted by Frank Hetzel of Howitzer Productions and the
main sponsor is Dragon Monkey Media. Hetzel is the creator of the Seattle
Metal Festival and the Northwest Deathfest, as well as the promoter of many
metal shows in the Seattle area.

“I put the Seattle Metal Fest on the back burner for a while because I felt
that it should become a stronger festival- a show with great national metal
acts that people would travel from all over the Pacific Northwest to see,”
said Hetzel. “It took some time to work out the logistics for a festival of
this size and with the help of Dragon Monkey Media; the show is coming
together smoothly.”

Dragon Monkey Media LLC is a Northwest-based media company promoting
local musicians and artists by providing an internet resource to allow
them to showcase their artistic works through its associated record label,
Hot Monkey Records, and its affiliated production company,
Dark Angel Productions.

Tickets go on sale Saturday, November 11 through Tickets West
(www.ticketswest.com) and The Showbox box office, as well as
www.seattlemetalfest.com, Silver Platters in Seattle, and Scrape Records in
Vancouver, B.C. The Showbox is located at 1426 1st Ave. in Seattle, WA
(www.showboxonline.com, 206-628-3151). Tickets will be $25.00 advance and
$30.00 day of show. This is an all ages event with alcohol available for
purchase to those at least 21 years old with ID.

[Dead_Lioness]

Py: Overkill are playing

 

[Shpongled]

I don't know if anyone has heard The Human Abstract, but that band is really awesome! The vocals can be pretty emo and lame at times, but the guitarists shred down hard, Loomis style! Really interesting and quirky song writing and plenty of face-ripping leads. I was really stoked on them for a while when their album came out but I haven't listened for a couple weeks. Definitely a good band if you don't mind the modern-day metalcore cliche and image and the vocals. If you can look past all that stuff you'll find a really great band underneath it. I'm excited to finally seem them

I'll be there... Hey Kev, you have an extra space on the floor I could throw my ass if I come down? Most likely though I'll just bring my girlfriend and we'll hit up a Hotel... but we'll see.

Yea, I saw one of their videos-the vocals pissed me off soo much and the way they were spazzing around, but holy fuck they shredded..

Heathen Crusade > Seattle Metalfest

I beg to differ!

 

[rainmaker_2413]

If I wasn't on the other side of the country I would go. Into Eternity, Arsis, and Mnemic...not to mention Overkill. Looks like a great lineup.

 

[Cat5Messiah]

I am so going.

 

[Sanctums]

I beg to differ!

How dare you.

 

[firewalkjen]

How dare you.

I gotta support Franko! He works his ass off to put on these festivals. And of course the fact that it's in Seattle(my favorite city) makes me want to push it even more.
