Copyright
All content on metal-battle.com — text, photography, video, audio, the WMB lock-up and logotype, layout, and code — is, unless explicitly attributed otherwise, copyright © 2004–2026 WOA Festival GmbH or licensed to it by the original rightsholder. Reproduction, public performance, or republication in any medium requires prior written permission. Editorial use by accredited press is granted under our Press & Media terms.
Band names, band photography, and recordings remain the property of the bands and their labels. They are reproduced here with permission for the purpose of the competition and the surrounding editorial coverage.
Liability for Content
As a service provider, WOA Festival GmbH is responsible for its own content on these pages in accordance with § 7(1) of the German Telemediengesetz (TMG). We are not, under §§ 8–10 TMG, obliged to monitor third-party information transmitted or stored, or to actively search for circumstances that indicate illegal activity. Obligations to remove or block the use of information under general laws remain unaffected; liability in this respect is only possible from the moment we become aware of a concrete legal infringement, and we will remove the relevant content without delay.
Liability for Links
metal-battle.com links to external sites operated by bands, promoters, venues, and partners. We have no control over the content of those sites and accept no responsibility for them. At the time the link was set, no illegal content was discernible. A permanent monitoring of the linked sites is not reasonable without concrete indication of a violation. If we become aware of any infringement we will remove the link immediately.

Wacken Open Air and the WOA logotype are trademarks of ICS Festival Service GmbH, used under license. All other trademarks shown on this site — band names, label names, sponsor marks — are the property of their respective owners and used for identification only.
