First Real Heavy Metal Fest In Montreal

This June 21th and 22nd, Montreal will vibe under dissonant chords and devilish atmosphere because the Heavy MTL fest will shake the place. June 21th, Iron Maiden is headlining the event. It's how they spend here in their "Back in time" tour. The first part will be assure by a lot of great band such as Mastodon, Hammerfall, unexpecT, Three Inches of Blood, Overkill, Type O Negative, Symphony X, Hatebreed and others.

June 22th, the fest continue with another great guest in the metropole: Mötley Crue! This first part is job for Voivod, Priestess, Disturbed, Shadow Fall, Anthrax, Three Days of Grace and others.

The only disappointement is that only two or three bands are local, but with all these great names, we have not really to cry.

All this hell happens at the Jean-Drapeau Park, on St.Helene Island. Don't be shy to visit the official web site for more information.

[manwithplan]

[Vypor]

dude c'mon, it is metal, the first band mentioned is IRON MAIDEN! I'd kill to get to see thier old asses jump around on stage, they might be old but they got some pretty tyte music.

[Riot Act]

Wow, i love how its a metal fest and the second day is like half assed rock...nice. Dont get me wrong i like 3DG...but at a metal fest? Ehh, its only their first, i guess you have to start them off softly.

[kevinm4435]

you mean the years and years of death metal festivals weren't "real?"

[the trooper 210]

the first day of the metal fest looks like a good line up but the second day i think they just had to find a fill exept anthrax i think those guys rock

[brentondig]

Maiden is awesome, but I wonder how long they're playing. I'd rather wonder than go see all those crap bands. I'll wait til their next real tour.

[itgoesto11]

well that wasnt a waste of my time at all

[SpooneyMallard]

HVY FVKNG MTL

[clawsofsteel]

the posts a couple above me is saying that the second day bands were all filler other than motley crue. "half assed rock" some of the bands may be. cough 3dg cough. but anthrax sure the ****ing hell ain't a half ass rock band

[deafening]

lame line-up IMHO

montley crue? ffs

HATEBREED? gotta be joking



just a really mediocre/not so good at all line up of bands

go maiden \m/


and to all those fake metal shows in mtl, dont worry the media doesnt know shitt

[NowhereOutThere]

Iron Maiden? Mastodon? Symphony X?

I'd go.

[Derrikb]

wow. Anthrax should be headlining this

[Ibzman]

Most of those who posted are ridiculous. Iron Maiden, Anthrax, Motley Crue, Shadows Fall, Mastodon and Symphony X are easily worth your ticket. If you don't like it, don't feel like you need to share it with us.

[Raijouta]

Great English in this column...

I mean, wow.

[lagraine666]

priestess kick asses!!!!

[boyan89]

haha raijouta, and what are 3DG doing here, they'll get crap thrown at them let the metal people do the show

[paranoid923]

Where's the love for unexpecT? Its worth the ticket price just for them alone (not to mention Iron Maiden and Symphony X).

[urnonav]

Tickets were separate for the two days. First day was worth it. My friends went. I missed it *snif snif*. Apparently Symphony X and Maiden blew every other band away (as expected) and Maiden had some sick pyro and stage theatricals!!

[filthylittleboy]

uh not a single band there is "heavy metal" well maybe priest.

think this is bullshit

[filthylittleboy]

wow i thought it was judas priest for a second... nvm then.

[filthylittleboy]

why don't people type full sentences anymore...

especially in an advertisement

[Brendan.Clace]

Who are the local bands?

[StealthyHayze]

Wow, your having a "metalfest" in montreol and leaving out Beneath the Massacre?

[Bassman366]

The local bands were unexpecT, Voivod and Priestess.

[Telestar]

With such a short article you'd think they checked for grammar issues.

Sounds good (:

but Three Days Grace?
That's not metal at all.

[corrda00]

I love montreal i love metal and i love shadows fall. Sounds like a cool festival.

[Brendan.Clace]

I would have liked to see Synastry on the bill... or Derelict... or Cpytopsy or something....

[Bassman366]

22 500 persons the first day, 13 500 the second... It probably will be an other version of the fest next year!
