WRETCH Record New Headbanger's Open Air Festival Song
June 11, 2007, 17 years ago
Cleveland based metallers WRETCH have just completed a new song called 'Make This Garden Burn'. The song is written in honor of the 10th Anniversary of the Headbanger's Open Air Festival and dedicated to festival promoters Thomas Tegelhütter and Jürgen Hegewald (Hellion Records). Recording was done at Metro Sync and Noise Floor Studios in Cleveland and produced by BREAKER guitarist Don Depew.
The track will appear on a forthcoming EP, entitled Make This Garden Burn, on Auburn Records that will be released at the festival. The EP will also include one other brand new Wretch original ('I Will Defy'), previously unreleased demo out-takes from their debut album, Reborn, and live tracks. Original artwork will be supplied by Alex Yarborough.
The 26-band Headbanger's Open Air Festival is set to take place July 12th - 14th in Brande-Hörnerkirchen, Germany and has been billed as "the biggest garden party in the world". The venue is the yard of a burnt down and restored farm in the German countryside, where Tegelhütter opens his garden every year for the metal hordes. The theme of this year's show is "The Garden Burns"! Hegewald is responsible for assembling the diversified underground talent.
In addition to Auburn bands WRETCH and ETERNAL LEGACY, other bands scheduled to appear include CANDLEMASS, RAGE, WOLF, MOONSORROW, SINNER, BULLET, MALICE, and HALLOWEEN, among others.
The festival regularly sells out with thousands of metalheads attending each year.
