Dear summer breeze community!
Just in time for the weekend we have long awaited news for you.
The summer breeze 2006 will take place in the beautiful area of Dinkelsbuehl (www.dinkelsbuehl.de). The airfield of local Aeroclub of Dinkelsbuehl-Sinbronn is where exactly it will take place. It's a perfect site for a festival and easy to find. To give you a rough idea: by car it's about 40 minutes far from Abtsgmuend where it used to take place. It can be reached by Autobahn A7 and A6.
Ticket sales start now and tickets will be available on our home page with immediate effect. Our ticket hotline (+49 (0) 211-2936843) will start selling beginning of April. The prices haven't changed so a three day ticket will be available for 42,-€. Just remember that last year we were sold out quite quickly. Therefore make sure you get your ticket in time.
First orders will be sent with a free CD of your choice:
BLOODFLOWERZ - diabolic angel / END OF GREEN - motor (Maxi CD Paket) / STORMWITCH - dance with the witches / STORMWITCH - priest of evil / DEEP INSIDE MYSELF - at a late hour / AD INFERNA - l'empire des sens / UNDERTOW - 34ce PSYCHOPUNCH - smashed on arrival / SLEEPINGODSLIE - phlegma / KORODED - the absurd beauty of being alone
Each CD will also come with a gimmick of the Summer Breeze history. Please note: limited quatities only. First come, first serve.
But there is more news to tell. Below you will find some more bands we added to the billing. Now have a look at who else is going to kick serious butt in Dinkelsbuehl.
FEAR FACTORY
The godfathers of modern metal split up years ago to get rid of their guitarist. Shortly after they refound themselves. Former bassist Christian now plays guitar as the bass is being played by Strapping Young Lad bassist Byron Stroud. So back they are with more power and gasoline running through their veins. Thanks to drum machine Raymond Herrera and frontman Burton C. Bell on stage they always kicked hard. Now the albums do so, too.
LACRIMOSA
To fans of gothic and dark wave this bands needs no further introduction as they are one of the big players of this genre. Heavy minded melodies added to epic lyrics are their trade mark. No reason to turn away for true metal heads. During history mastermind Tilo Wolff and his pleasure slave Anna Nurmi quite often added rock elements to their sound und used screaming guitars.
NEGATIVE
The hot spice of this year's billing are Negative from Finland. They obey to their heroes as there are Guns'n'Roses, Aerosmith or HIM. Not just copying the songs they also take the spirit an adapt it to present times. Jonne Aaron and his band keep entering the charts on high positions in their home country as well as in Japan. But also in good old Germany their last album did quite well.
ANGEL BLAKE
Seems to be a bit of a family meeting. Ex The Crown frontman and his band One Man Army & The Undead Quartet have been confirmed a while ago. And now Angel Blake featuring two more Crowns have just jumped on the billing. Mastermind Marko Tervonen on guitar and Janne Saarenpää on drums used to play with he Crown, too. The frontman is not a no-name either. He played with Transport League and Mnemic. Not as destroying as The Crown but more song orientated in the vain of Danzig and Metallica.
SCAR SYMMETRY
Sweden's constant ejection of high level bands seems to be endlessly. Scar Symmetry decided to go for melodic death metal. Their debut "Symmetric In Design" took the world by storm just like this. Scar Symmetry can easily get in the ring with big names such as Soilwork and In Flames.
THE OCEAN
Here you get the full service. These German sound artists create a wall of sound you could bury crowds under. They strike you like lightning just to calm you down again the very next minute by bringing in strings and classical elements. Difficult to compare to other bands. Fans of Converge or Neurosis definitely have to give it a try.
PERZONAL WAR
And a candy for the fans of thrash and heavy metal. Often compared to Metallica they developed themselves. Meanwhile they created a unique sound without getting away from thrash metal. Still attacking you like a tank. New record "When Times Turn Red" received best reviews from everywhere. So expect the brand new material to be played live.

FEAR FACTORY - LACRIMOSA - KREATOR - GAMMA RAY - NEGATIVE - FINNTROLL - MOONSPELL - MY DYING BRIDE - CORVUS CORAX - DEATHSTARS - EXILIA - THE HAUNTED - UNLEASHED - ASP - HEAVEN SHALL BURN - THYRFING - BLOODFLOWERZ - TURISAS - PSYCHOPUNCH - ONE MAN ARMY & THE UNDEAD QUARTET - ANGEL BLAKE - SALTATIO MORTIS - POTENTIA ANIMI - REBELLION - SCAR SYMMETRY - TOTENMOND - REGICIDE - CARNAL FORGE - THE OCEAN - LEGION OF THE DAMNED - UNDERTOW - NEAERA - TRAIL OF TEARS - NEGROPHAGIST - VISIONS OF ATLANTIS - FEAR MY THOUGHTS - GOJIRA - LUMSK - SCARVE - LENG T'CHE - THE OTHER - PERZONAL WAR - VOLBEAT - APOSTASY
