By the power of Grayskull, here we are back again!

As promised, we are here to let you know about a few new bands we got for the Dong line up!

The first update for this week are: PERSEFONE. No, we didn't misspell anything and please, don't be scared: It's not the new project of that chick from L'Ame Immortelle!
Moreso it's 0,007% of the population of Andorra. Most people tend to associate nothing but absinthe with the small country in the Pyrenees, but this might change after they heard this band's proggressive and melodic death metal at this year's Dong Open Air. Persefone's songs are based on melodic death metal and beautiful melodies, rock hard riffs and quick changes of tempo, combined with virtuosic guitar soli, memorable vocals and bizarre keyboard tunes, all fusing into epic master pieces which despite all the different components add up to one solid piece of music.


If the last description made your hackles rise, PATH OF GOLCONDA might be more of your cup of tea. They stand for 'brutish ouvertures and high quality binge drinking in the name of chaos and passion ever since 1999'. With elements of death, thrash and black metal Path of Golconda have created their very own sound and style, aggressive, straight forward and uncompromising. Don't miss out when these guys rock our stage this summer!


ROCKETCHIEF are going to change the pace here a bit. The five guys from Münster are pretty new in the business, but their application blew off our socks. Pure energetic text book rock'n'roll, fun, outgoing and certainly rocking even more when played live on stage. The open minded metal fan should be looking forward to a party at its finest!


The countries of origin of the members of CIVILIZATION ONE read like the composition of the soccer world championship semi-final: Italy, France, Brazil and Sri Lanka. Well, almost.
Thus it's not much of a surprise to see and hear this band produce symphonic power metal with bombast elements, just a tad harder than what the gentle listener is used to.
If you like power metal with balls, guitar riffs, aggressive vocals and passionate melodies, make sure you're at the concert area when Civilization One hit the stage!


Half of the line up is now announced and public, which means that the weeks to come have just as many blasting news in store as you got there already! Don't miss out!

P.S.: We'll soon throw the tickets on the market, you better sign up for our news letter to make sure you don't end up left out without a ticket. We'll update you on everything through the news letter!

Until the next time...
Your Dong Team

Hey there!


Well, guys, let me tell how things are gonna be this year at the Dong stage: Ralf, the ninja and I, we figured it'd be a neat idea to chip in some money together and to get you DARK TRANQUILLITY! When in the year of '89 the Berlin wall was taken down, they were all like "Dude, there's all kinds of stuff happening in the world... Just Sweden is kinda boring!" So they sat down with In Flames and decided to invent this music called Melodic Death metal, which the kids these days like soo much. Yeah, back in the day...


We couldn't quite afford an entire division with the money we were left with, so we figured we'd just go get a panzer battallion this year! Of course we're talking about SABATON who have made themselves a name on the board of awesome live bands during the last festival season. Coming from traditional heavy metal, the Swedes join bellicose true metal posing with fascinating tunes, bombast drama and lyrics about war, war... oh and did I mention war? Rather untypical for the genre, but working perfectly with the music, singer Joakim's vocals cover the deeper range than what might be expected, winning over even people who claim to be rather skeptical of true metal.


Those of you who honored us with their visit in 2006 are probably going to have pleasant memories regarding COMMANDER. The Bavarians sound like Bolt Thrower were jamming with Bloodbath and both bands felt like playing a bit of thrash.
Don't get in their way for they will chop down anything with the deep rumbling and aggressive growls. Frantically fast and relentlessly stomping riffs along with breaks en masse, short shreds of tune spice up the carnage. This all combines to modern and authentic death metal that makes any metal head turn their head.
Just like last time the guys are going to show up bringing a brand new album to wow even the veterans among you. Fans of brute metal should not miss out on this show.


SCARLET FIRE are going to be a bit smoother. Haven't heard of that? Well, asking Dr Google, you'd find out that's either a beer from Pennsylvania or a rock band from Gießen. We had meant to not tell you which one is to play at our hill, to keep things interesting and to throw in a bit of an extra thrill, but unfortunately someone in our forum has already spilled the beans. So here it is:
Scarlet Fire play groovy heavy rock with mosh part and funk elements, blending in nicely with fast riffs. The wonderfully diverse vocals of singer Christina will certainly enchant the audience. If you enjoyed Cheeno last you, you should make a huge red mark next to the gig of this band on your festival schedule.


The award for the most charming application of the year is to be awarded to NOHELLIA who are from sunny Nice. These Frenchies do not only have the prettiest handwriting ever, but are mostly known for their symphonic avant garde black metal at its finest!
Naturally, their music can't be described satisfactorily here, but be assured: Friends of unorthodox and different kinds of music shall have a great time!



Last, but not least another piece of information lots of you have waited for so dearly. Tuesday, March 18th, at midnight (0:00) we are going to start out ticket sale! So if you really want one of those first tickets (at this year's price of 26,66€), stay up on Monday night and don't leave your computer until you ordered your ticket!
Of course we'd also like to remind you of the possibility to sign up for our newsletter to make sure you don't miss out on anything!


Until Tuesday... take care,
your Dong team

This was some mad tuesday for our server: You were so crazy for the tickets, half of them have already been sold by twenty past nine this evening. We're not bullshitting you! A big thanks from the whole team for this enormous demonstration of trust, you blew us off our feet!

Those among you still without a ticket should hurry and get them while they last. Otherwise, you might wake up to find another newsletter in your mailbox, titled: Sold Out!

Madness...
Your Dong team
