Uhh, I'm just curious, will there be taxis / buses back to Nantes (20 kilometres away) by like 2:30 AM (i.e. after Amon Amarth first day etc.)?

^Apparently yes. On the FAQ they say trips from 8pm to 7am are 15euros.

Concerning the running order. It looks pretty decent (yet a couple of clashes), but I think it's better to wait a while for the inevitable cancellations. Oh and Shining are probably gonna change day since they play that day somewhere else.

that should be a very easy choice... d.USK since they rarely ever play. And after the festival season they will play under their new name Inverloch and won''t be playing the classic diSEMBOWELMENT album ever again

I really like the look of the Alter and Temple locations. I'd have a hard time deciding which bands to see over others, but all-in-all if I were to attend this I'd definitely go home satisfied.

yeah i am definitely going to watch d.usk without a doubt. Just annoyed they clash. But was talking to a mate the other day who played roadburn and he heard that d.USK would be losing out financially if they played hellfest. Hope they do play though, is going to be awesome!

They might be losing out financially if they play Hellfest but in the long run they will win financially because of all the people they reach there who they wouldn't reach otherwise.

Btw your mate played Roadburn? What band was he in? I might have seen them, since I attended Roadburn as well.

Only saw a bit of The Wounded Kings, saw them two years ago at Roadburn but that was an almost totally different line-up. Musically I really enjoy The Wounded Kings but don't like the vocals nowadays.

I guess almost all the smaller bands at festivals lose out financially, but like Marcel said it makes sense for them in the long run. If you play to say a 100 people maybe you walk away with 10 fans, but play a festival to 20,000 and you've got a much bigger following buying your stuff and coming to your gigs in the future. Also its a festival, any bands would love to be part of it.
I hope that we can play a European festival soon :/

I would pay accomodation and transport myself if my band was contacted to play Hellfest or some other big festival. Hell I would not even expect that much compensation (aside from a free festival ticket), getting through to so many people and selling some merch on the side would be worth it on itself.

I am quite jealous of Hellfest's line-up this year, it's just fabulous. I'm curious how the 6-stage setup works, and if people give positive feedback here, I might just take part in the MS Hellfest meeting

I don't really get how Lamb of God would be a logical choice to end the festival though.

OKay so it seems Origin amd dUSK have cancelled (like what was hinted at much earlier)
and they will be replaced by Gorod and Rival SOns, some shoddy replacements I would say/

so replacing tdUSK by the exact same members? dUSK actually doesn't exist anymore but is now called Inverloch I am still surprised that it kept on being advertised as dUSK playing

at least Dimmu have this bombastic "climactic" edge to them (at least on their last album), that would be my choice to call it a fest.

There was a comment somewhere a few months or so ago from one of the band members commenting on the difference, saying that d.USK was essentially a diSEMBOWELMENT spin-off for their potential live appearance and that Inverloch is what the band will use for new material.

Hellfest 2012 was cool, and weatherwise it was a somewhat lighter version of the 2007 'muddy' edition.
