WELCOME TO

INFERNO METAL FESTIVAL 2018 e are back for the 18th edition of our metal festival in Norway! This makes us the longest living metal festival in this country – by far! And what a year this is going to be! We are bringing back Emperor and Satyricon to where they belong – in the heart of Oslo – the venue that is also known as Rockefeller.

The legendary death metal band Obituary and doom metal kings Electric Wizard are visiting us for the very first time. Carpathian Forest and Odium are having a return to the metal scene. Also returning for the festival are mighty artists as Dark Funeral, Tsjuder, Napalm Death, Grave, Necrophobic, Fleshgod Apocalypse and Djevel. Too many to mention. Let's just say 2018 is going to be a hell of a year!

W

his time we have four full days at Rockefeller and John Dee. This will of course make the logistics easier for both us and the audience, but most important is that we can present more of the bigger bands with one more day at Rockefeller. The attention we have gotten this year has been huge. The Inferno hotel, Scandic St. Olavs Plass, was sold out a long time ago. While writing this it seems like also our second hotel, Scandic Holberg, also will sell out. The festival passes for all four days have also been sold out for some time now, and the same with the passes for Friday and Saturday. At the moment there are just a few passes left for Thursday and Sunday. Since we have more tickets out this year, as we have one more day at Rockefeller, Inferno 2018 will make a record in the number of visitors. We thank you for all the support and we will give back by giving the best festival experience you can ever dare to dream of. Welcome to Inferno Metal Festival 2018!

INFERNO KICK OFF 2018 SCANDIC ST OLAVS PLASS

o, following our unholy tradition, Inferno was properly «kicked off» in the bar at the festival hotel with flooding food, drinks, music, quizzing and pictures on the big screen.

DJ Ugh played an exquisite set of new and old metal tracks, the perfect soundtrack for the thirsty Inferno family! The big star of the evening was undoubtedly the freshly brewed Inferno beer, so we had to get the verdict from the Inferno family.

S

DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE INFERNO BEER? 5 IN THE BAR WHAT Marit Krybelsrud (Norway) – 5 times at Inferno Very good with an own Inferno beer! I was drinking two beers, the first one tasted too much hops, but the second beer was very good – I think I had to get used to the taste.

Karstein Sandengen (Norway) – 1 time at Inferno It was a light beer, but at the same time rich of taste, it will be the perfect drink against thirst in dark sweaty festival locations!

Benoit Vertut (France) – never been at Inferno before Its good, I like it. I was very curious about the beer and I appreciate the taste, much better than the usual tap beer.

Nadine Pescoller (Italy) – never been at Inferno before Really great that Inferno has their own festival beer! I think the beer is good, it’s special and kicking.

Lene Rodriguez (Norge) – 3 times at Inferno I think the beer was good, easy to drink, rich and fruity, not bitter. About time Inferno got its own festival beer, should have gotten it a long time ago!

DEDICATED EXPERIMENTING!

GARD W. KARLSNES IS THE BREWMASTER AT BRYGGERHUSET. BEFORE GOING PRO AS A BREWER IN 2015, HE WAS A PASSIONATE HOME BREWER WITH MEDALS IN BOTH NATIONAL AND EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIPS IN HOME BREWING. SO, WE ASKED HIM TO GIVE US SOME FLUID FACTS ABOUT THE BREWERY AND THE PROCESS OF MAKING OF THE INFERNO BEER ass Bryggeri is Norway’s oldest brewery, founded in 1834 in Drammen. 184 years later, we are still located in the center of Drammen city and are still 100 % family owned by the Aass family.

Bryggerhuset is Aass Bryggeri’s Pilot brewery: in the Pilot brewery we are

A 14

W W W.I NFER NOFESTI VA L.NET

dedicated to experimenting with beer and our mission statement is to develop new types of beer as well as experimenting with different techniques, raw materials and approaches to beer.

In Bryggerhuset, we brew 1.000 liter batches of new beerstyles for the

pub/restaurant-market in kegs. When beers that are developed in the pilot brewery are in high enough demand, we scale up the recipes and release them for the general public in bottles or cans. To date, there are four Bryggerhuset beers available in super markets, as well as two different vintage Christmas beers at the Wine Monopoly. he Inferno festival beer was developed in cooperation with representatives from the Inferno Metal Festival being highly involved in both the planning and the actual brewing process.

The beer is a golden coloured lager beer to ensure a crisp finish and a high drinkability.

The beer has an abv of 4,7 % and is brewed with an abundant amount of Amarillo hops added late in boil as well as in dry hop. This hop variety gives the beer a fresh and enjoyable aroma and flavour with notes of tropical fruits and citrus as well as a firm bitterness which compliments the malt back bone.

VORBID

TANTARA

Vorbid is a progressive thrash metal band from southern city of Norway, Arendal. The band was formed in October 2013 and has since its inception developed quite a unique style of thrash metal. They mix the riffs and the intensity of thrash with the technique and the melodies from prog rock. Vorbid will release their debut album «Mind» on the 13th of April.

The Norwegian old-school thrash outfit Tantara is bringing the genre back to its roots, combining heavy melodies, fast riffs and complex song structures. The band was formed late 2009, when the four members decided it was time for another great thrash wave. Since the release of their debut album «Based On Evil» in 2012, they have shared the stage with bands such as Kreator, Havok, Destruction, and many other great bands. A brand new album, «Sum of Forces», will soon hit the streets!

Musical Identity: Branding a Festival What is needed to survive in today's festival market is a clear profile that the audience identifies with. Some festivals have created a distinctive identity with the use of selective booking. Other have used the location of the festival and incorporation of native history. How did they get the idea and how do they manage to stay true to the original concept?

Metal Music Promotion: Key steps Whether you’re a brand new musician establishing yourself, or an already established band with a dedicated fan base, there is one thing that love it or hate it, all musicians will have to do. Marketing your music.

Globalization in the live Metal music industry What happens when international booking agencies all of a sudden start to book

concerts and festivals in your country, in a territory that more or less used to be booked by the people that lived there? Today we can see a growing trend of promoters and companies setting up concerts and booking bands directly to the local promoters/venues and often even start their own festivals. Is the cost of ignoring the traditional local booking companies and local promoters a good or bad thing in this day and age?

What will the ramifications be if the concert marked becomes monopolized and how will this effect smaller booking agents, festival owners and even bands?
