Organizers of the annual Metal Female Voices Fest, which takes place this year in Wieze, Belgium from October 19th - 21st, have checked in with the following update:

"Since a decade, we're proud to welcome you all at the MFVF! Now it's time to show us from where you are...

How to do this, it's simple: we're asking you to bring the flag of your country with you.

We're waiting for people from all over the world (Australia, Japan, South and North America, whole Europe) come on MFVF people we count on you to show that your favourite festival is really an international event! We wanna see a full house with a lot of flags !

Thank you all again for your amazing support and see you in October."

Organizers recently issued the following statement regarding this year's installment of the festival:

“The Metal Female Voices Fest 10th Anniversary will take place in Wieze-Belgium in October 2012. Already a decade for this very special and unique metal festival dedicated to fronted female singers! Don't miss it and be there to support your favourite bands such as LACUNA COIL, ARCH ENEMY, EPICA, DELAIN, ARKONA, DIABULUS IN MUSICA, XANDRIA and many more!”

After getting warmed at the anniversary party on October 19th fans can look forward to Lacuna Coil and Arch Enemy headlining the first official festival day. Front women Cristina Scabbia and Angela Gossow couldn’t be more excited about performing with many likeminded ladies:

Cristina Scabbia: “If you can put together good music, passion, heaviness, epicness and loads of beautiful ladies on stage... What would you possibly want more from a festival? The Metal Female Voices Fest is all this and I'm very excited to be back on that stage. We are going to let you sing and jump, to headbang and cry... And most of all, to have a great time with you all. See you there!”

Angela Gossow: “It's gonna be fun to rock the stage with my sisters in metal at the MFVF 10th anniversary! It's a great festival with a fantastic audience and as always put together with much love and dedication. We are more than happy to return and throw some pure fucking khaos into the mix!”
