Metal-Battle Winner 2010 - Battle Beast


The finals of this year´s Metal Battle in Wacken was wrapped up by Finland. 26 countries in total took part in this year and dropped their finalists, each chosen in a pre-final, into the final tournament. A professional jury, which observed and voted each gig for 2 days, decided who should settle the race in the end. The power metal band Battle Beast fronted by female singer Nitte outclassed the fierce competition in the end and won. Amongst other things they won full endorsements and high quality equipment by Eden, Washburn, Mapex, Paiste, Marshall and Woodbrass plus a record deal.
 
Congratulations wishes the W:O:A and Metal-Battle team

W:O:A Metal Battle Ex Yugoslavian Countries national winner


Dear Metalheads,
 
the W:O:A Metal Battle 2010 in the Ex Yugoslavian countries is over and we are proud to announce the winner.:
 
FOREVER STORM
 
Serbian heavy metal band Forever Storm was established in the end of 2006, but pretensions for its creation existed from 2003, when Milos Miletic (rhythm and solo guitar) and Stefan Kovacevic (rhythm and solo guitar, vocals) first met. After some time, Vladimir Nestorovic (bass guitar) joined the band, and this lineup recorded a demo tape called “The Sign of Thunder”. Finally, the lineup was completed, and Vuk Stefanovic (drums) joined the band, so Forever Storm started practicing in the beginning of 2007. In the same year, band had played on some of the biggest festivals in Serbia, like Exit, Zajecarska Gitarijada, Rock On and Rock Village, and toured across the whole country. In the middle of the year 2008 band participated on the international contest in Crvenka and won the first prize which included the money for recoding the first album. The album was finally completed after long nine moths in the studio (September 2007 – October 2008). The album cover artist is Bane Kerac, one of Serbia's best comic book artists (many of his works are well known in Europe and America). In the meanwhile Nikola Maric (keyboards) joined Forever Storm and now the band is promoting its first studio album “Soul Revolution” across Serbia.
 
Congratulations, see you in Wacken!
