It’s a thrashy double-header for next year’s Hammerfest – today the festival confirmed that its 2014 headliners will be German thrash metal titans, Kreator, and veteran US thrashers Overkill. 

Also joining the bill for next year’s festival are Soilwork, Grand Magus, Unleashed, Earthtone9, Breed 77, Enthroned, Paragon, Annihilated, and Gravil. Tickets are on sale now from the official Hammerfest website, with the price varying on how many people you want in your room.

There’s a low murmur of background chit chat at the Underworld tonight, but otherwise it’s oddly quiet. Then you realize the PA hasn’t been turned on for some reason, and somehow it all seems like a silent mocking commentary on Breed 77’s career. When is someone going to turn it on?
