NASUM and KYLESA are the latest acts confirmed for Germany's Wacken Open Air, which is set to take place August 2nd - 4th in Wacken, Germany,

The legendary Swedish grinders Nasum recently announced that they will reconvene for a limited number of farewell performances in 2012. Nasum was hit hard by the passing of guitarist and co-founder Mieszko Talarczyk in the 2004 Asian tsunami, but will announce the farewell performances shortly to mark the band’s 20th anniversary and close the book on the wildly influential band.

Nasum 2012 features Anders Jakobson: drums, Jesper Liverod: bass/vocals, Urab Skytt: guitars, Jon Lindquist: guitars/vocals.

Each day this month the W:O:A X-Mas Calendar 2011 found here will reveal a new band name.
