Door 14 with music and entertainment
Saltatio Mortis
In 2014, Saltatio Mortis will rock the W:O:A for the third time. The band plays medieval or folk rock and is already known outside the medieval scene: The newest album of the band hit the charts on position one! We’re curious about how they will top this in the future and we’re looking forward to their stunning performance at Wacken!

Swedisch steel behind door no. 15 . Degradead are rising from the well known Swedish melodic death metal society. Already in 2010 they rocked the Wacken Open Air and at the moment the official festival trailer is accentuated with one of their songs too. The band has just released their 4th studio album “The Monster Within” and they have again refined their mixture of melo-death, thrash and metalcore.

Colorful package at the 16th day.
Also today we have a medieval colored package for you! And except the first band, all of them are going to play in Wacken for the very first time.
Lacrimas Profundere
Their music is somewhere between gothic metal, dark rock and doom metal and this mixture works well since the establishment in 1993. Eleven studio albums have been released until now, the last one, called Antiadore, in 2013.

Nachtgeschrei
In contrast to many genre colleagues, the folk metal band Nachtgeschrei doesn’t play with an acoustic program or historical lyrics: The metal factor is relatively high and all four studio albums contain only independent lyrics.

It becomes progressive in the calendar!
I.C.S. Vortex Truly no unknown metal musician is the Norwegian Simen Hestnæs aka I.C.S. Vortex. Best known for his memberships at Borknagar, Arcturus and Dimmu Borgir, he has started a successful solo project some time ago.
His first solo album Storm Seeker was released in 2011 and can be best described as progressive metal. But in fact you can find elements from all of his creative periods on the album.
