SEPULTURA has been confirmed for this year's Wacken Open Air and they will be joined by some guests, LES TAMBOURS DU BRONX, featuring sixteen drummers from France. According to organizers, "this combination from heavy metal sounds and this incomparable percussion ensemble can only be seen two times in the whole world in this year."

Founded in 1987, Les Tambours Du Bronx beat 225 litre barrels with beech wood bats or even axe handles. In more than 1000 concerts they've smashed about 16,000 barrels and more than 110,000 broken 'drum sticks'!

Check out a video of both in action:
