About me:
Das Headbangers Open Air wird nicht umsonst als "Größte Gartenparty der Welt" bezeichnet. Veranstaltungsort ist ein abgebrannter (und restaurierter) Bauernhof mitten in der Botanik, wo der Veranstalter seinen privaten Garten jedes Jahr auf's Neue für Horden von (zumindest im Geiste) Langhaarigen öffnet. Auf dem HOA findet man an Bandauswahl fast alles - von den Legenden der Achtziger und Neunziger aus aller Welt, über Lokalmatadoren, Geheimtipps bis hin zu Newcomern, welche hier ebenfalls eine Chance erhalten. Einzig auf teure "Headliner" wird verzichtet, um den Eintrittspreis so gering wie möglich zu halten. Die Bühne steht auf dem ehemaligen Hofgelände, die umliegenden Felder dienen als Park- und Campingground. Für Pilsbuden, Futterstände und Frühstück, alles zu humanen Preisen, ist gesorgt.

Not without reasons the Headbangers's Open Air is called "the biggest garden party of the world". It takes place in Brande-Hörnerkirchen, near Elmshorn (40 km away from Hamburg). The venue is the yard of a burnt down and restored farm in the middle of nowhere, where the organizer opens his garden every year again for the (at least in the spirit) long-haired metal-hordes. The band choice at the HOA is diversified - from the legends of the 80s and 90s, to local heroes, insider tips, underground bands and newcomers, who will also get their chance to play here. The only thing missing is expensive "headliners", to keep the entrance-fee as low as possible. The stage is raised in the inner yard and the surrounding fields serve as parking lots and campgrounds. Beer- and BBQ-shacks, all for reasonable prices, are provided, as well as a metal market.
Festivaltickets for 2012 are available by Mail at order@hellionrecords.de or veranstalter@headbangers-open-air.de

Greetings from Symbolizer (formerly Symbolic),
We are happy to let you know that our long awaited debut album Thanatos Unleashed has been unleashed! Featuring eight hard hitting and melodic thrash metal compositions, the album has been released through Hellion Records in Germany.
Reviews:
"Excellent examples of ethereal and aggressive thrash metal, characterised by a hail of riffs and dynamic solos, sung by the fine voice of Rasmus Kiaer"
metalbrigade .it, Italy
"Singer and guitarist Rasmus has a great, raw, yet melodic voice, fitting perfectly with the songs that draw influences from bands like OVERKILL, ARTILLERY, MELIAH RAGE or XENTRIX and ONSLAUGHT. You will find some very touching compositions that are great to headbang to. Killer debut album!"
