PERTH METAL FEST, Did anyone know about this?

Metalism UK Promotions would like to announce Scotland's first true metal
festival, dubbed "Ragnarok UK Metalfest"!

Situated in Perth, Central Scotland and to be held at the brand new, 20
million pound Perth Concert Hall, Ragnarok is aiming to provide Scottish, UK
and International fans alike with a full day of pure metal on Saturday 4th
November 2006!

With a 1600 capacity, both seated and standing, the concert hall provides a
modern, up to date structure with technical facilities capable of hosting
such an event and provides a central location within Scotland that makes it
easy for fans to get to. Links from England couldn't be easier, with
Glasgow, Edinburgh and Dundee airports all within easy reach. A frequent
GNER and Virgin train timetable and National Express coach services from
throughout the UK direct to Perth bus station!

On the day itself, 10 bands - 8 international acts and 2 UK acts will span
12 hours from 11 till 11 with the customary Metal Market, Prize Draws and
other top notch attractions. On Friday 3rd November, the day before the
festival, we will hold an exclusive pre show party, in a venue that is still
to be confirmed, with at least 5 bands - one a top international act.

Such is the response to Scotland's first ever event, AFM Records,
heavyweight german label responsible for the success of Edguy and featuring
such acts as Doro Pesch, UDO, Masterplan and more besides will lend their
support for the forthcoming years which will see at least one of their acts
take to the stage each year. AFM will also be holding a stall, selling their
bands merchandise in the metal market.

Onto the main portion of the announcement, the bands. In order to bring you
the most diverse one day festival lineup that the UK has seen, Metalism has
contacted numerous artists about appearing but we are very pleased now the
final lineup is starting to take shape.

Firstly, Headless Cross will be taking to the stage, opening the event with
some of the finest old school Bay Area sounding thrash around. These guys,
dedicated and focused, have a bright future ahead of them and it is our
pleasure in placing them on the bill in front of a larger audience.

Secondly, the other UK participants at Ragnarok will be the mighty Intense!
With their second album due for release in 2006, the heavy edged power
metallars can seemingly only get better as time goes on.

And now to some of the international contingent that we are ready to present
to you...

Firstly, bringing backing to the event from AFM Records as previously
mentioned, will be Italian Folk metallars Elvenking who will play an
exclusive UK festival show in support of "The Winter Wake", the bands brand
new album.

Secondly, we can proudly announce that Finnish goth metallars Charon will be
making their EXCLUSIVE UK debut at Ragnarok 2006, also in support of their
new album "Songs for the Sinners." This is an exciting announcement for
Metalism UK, and we will be running a Charon related competition via the
Ragnarok website in the very near future!

And now to the headliners...

Metalism UK and Ragnarok Festival are very proud to present, legendary
German power metal band - in support of their 2005 release "Majestic" -
GAMMA RAY to headline the first ever Ragnarok UK Metal Festival!

There will be 5 more acts to confirm, all from overseas and will span a
range of different genres including black, death, progressive, classic and
pure heavy metal.

The website for the event, with further information can be found at

Tickets for the event will be onsale from Monday 6th February at 6.00am
2006... see what we did there? We're such suckers.

We hope that you will all be joining the festivities come the weekend of 3rd
and 4th November.

Keep it heavy, more announcements soon!
