Winter Days of Metal: Rockin' the winter of 2017


Once upon a time there was a wintry festival, located in the cover of a majestically towering mountain – this festival was called Winter Camp. It took place in a peaceful and secret area of charming Slovenia. No one knew if it was ever to return – Until now.

Hell yeah, it’s back! Seven years after the first event, Winter Camp will come back in a fresh new design. The organizers of the biggest Slovenian festival, the MetalDays, will host the new festival in 2017 – Winter Days of Metal.

In the lovely surroundings of beautiful Bohinj valley, just right under the arm of Slovenia's highest mountain Triglav, accentuated by breathtaking Lake of Bohinj, a new adventure is born. In March, the quiet village of Bohinjska Bistrica will welcome metalheads from all over the world. The event’s main location will be in Dvorana Danica of Bohinjska Bistrica. You will be able to enjoy real winter holidays merged with heavy, breaching metal sounds.

The skiing ground of the Vogel Ski Resort will offer you an amazing skiing experience on natural snow, simply spectacular views and very well-maintained ski slopes. Those who prefer some nice relaxing Spa are invited to Bohinj Aquapark, offering swimming pools, jacuzzis, saunas and everything else that is needed for a relaxing stay.


Winter Days of Metal will rock the mountains from March 20-26, 2017.

The ticket sale starts on August 10, 2016. You can find more information about ticket prices, accommodation packages, festival packages and the first band announcements at the festival’s webpage as of August 10 at www.winterdaysofmetal.com. Until then you can find all information on the festival's Facebook page.


Prepare for your extraordinary winter holidays in magical Slovenia!

Pierce The Veil announce exclusive performance at HMV Oxford Street, London on 27th April

Pierce the Veil, one of the fastest-rising, most electrifying artists on the music scene today, are set to give a first, world exclusive live performance of tracks from their new album and will be signing free posters for fans at HMV, 363 Oxford Street, London, on Wednesday 27 April at 6.00pm.

The band will release its hotly-anticipated new album, Misadventures, on May 13, with Fearless Records.


Since 2006, Pierce The Veil have consistently climbed their way into the hearts of millions worldwide via an unshakable devotion to making honest and hypnotic hard rock. The San Diego quarte — Vic Fuentes on vocals, rhythm guitar and keys, Mike Fuentes on drums and percussion, Tony Perry on lead  guitar, and Jaime Preciado on bass —staunchly uphold that tradition once again on their fourth full-length album, Misadventures.

“We went into making this record wanting to top the last one, something we try to do with every record,” said Vic. “We weren’t going to stop until we achieved that.” He continues:  “We wanted everybody to shine on the record,” added Jaime. “It was important that each member stood out.”

Misadventures is the follow up to the band’s 2012 breakthrough release, Collide with the Sky, which  debuted at #12 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart, held the #1 spot on the Rock, Hard Rock, and  Modern Rock/Alternative Albums charts, has sold over 400,000 copies worldwide, and earned the band a Gold single for the track “King for a Day.”

http://www.hmv.com/hmvlive/pierce-the-veil

Pierce The Veil will perform at hmv, 363 Oxford Street, London from 6.00pm on Wednesday 27 April

Access to the event will be restricted to 300 and fans will be able to obtain a ticket for entry by pre-ordering the album online at hmv.com via a limited number of 'album + event ticket' bundles.
