METALITALIA.COM FESTIVAL 2022: BULLDOZER, ONSLAUGHT, EXTREMA, BATUSHKA, NECROPHOBIC and full line-up announced!

After two years of forced hiatus, Metalitalia.com, Vertigo and Cerberus Booking are pleased to look to the future with optimism and announce the full line-up for the Metalitalia.com Festival 2022! The event, scheduled for mid-September, this time will gather the hardest, most infernal and darkest metal around, for two days of extreme music set to take place at the Live Music Club in Trezzo Sull’Adda (Milan, Italy).

Day 1 – Saturday 17th September 2022
Alongside SODOM, CORONER, IN.SI.DIA and HYADES, we are proud to announce the BULLDOZER reunion concert! The band will play an Italian exclusive set for Metalitalia.com Festival: a special show called “40 Years Of Wrath” dedicated to early pivotal releases such as “The Day Of Wrath”, “The Final Separation” and the “Fallen Angel” EP!
Among the new confirmations for the first day, we also welcome ONSLAUGHT: the legendary English thrash metal band will storm the festival with a set full of classics as well as new songs from the acclaimed new album “Generation Antichrist”.
Before them, EXTREMA will take the stage with another exclusive concert focused on their classic album “The Positive Pressure … of Injustice”. Tommy Massara’s band will perform the entire album, which is often considered the masterpiece of the Milanese band.
The bill of this day is completed by NATIONAL SUICIDE, a true force of the Italian thrash metal scene.

Day 2 – Sunday 18 September 2022
The second day will be a total extreme metal onslaught: alongside WATAIN, ABBATH, ASPHYX, TRIBULATION and BØLZER we are pleased to reconfirm one of the most appreciated and discussed acts of the last decade: BATUSHKA. The Polish black metal band, which will perform at the festival with all its suggestive scenography, will be the incarnation led by guitarist and composer Krzysztof “Derph” Drabikowski, recognized by fans as the true architect of the success achieved by the group thanks to the beautiful debut album “Litourgiya” and the more than worthy successor “Панихида”.
We are also extremely happy to welcome back NECROPHOBIC! The long running Swedish band returns to Italy after many years with a show that will see them perform songs taken from the latest wonderful works “Mark of the Necrogram” and “Dawn of the Damned” for the first time in our country.
The Lombard death metallers BLASPHEMER will have the honor of opening this dark day for extreme metal: expect many songs from their latest masterpiece “The Sixth Hour”.
