A new Heavy Metal festival is being forged in the heart of New England. Stormbringer Metal Festival, named after the infamous black sword of the Elric saga, arrives with an ambitious mission: to carve itself a spot on the map of some of the best heavy metal festivals of North America.
Founded by three musicians (Evgeny Gromovoy of Adamantis, Dwayne Eldredge of Mourn the Light and Carmine Blades of Seax), the festival will be celebrated on June 10-11, 2022 in Worcester (Massachusetts, USA) at the legendary
Ralph’s Rock Diner. This year’s headliners include
Riot City (Friday, June 10) and
Attacker (Saturday, June 11). Supporting acts include
Glacier,
Gatekeeper,
Icarus Witch,
Greyhawk,
Tower,
Ironflame,
Blazon Rite and
Olorin among others. For most of these bands, Stormbringer will be their first appearance ever in New England.
“In addition to bringing some of the finest heavy metal acts of North America, we want to highlight our vibrant local scene,” Dwayne says. This year Stormbringer will feature five New England based bands:
Entierro (feat. Victor Arduini of Fate’s Warning fame),
Archdruid,
Mourn the Light,
Seax and
Adamantis. “Moreover, we hope that the festival will establish a place for the north-eastern heavy metal vendor community to thrive,” Carmine adds.
Stormbringer Metal Festival features six bands on the Cruz del Sur Music/Gates of Hell Records labels: Tower, Gatekeeper, Adamantis, Attacker, Blazon Rite and Olorin. “Their inclusion on the bill is testimony to the great work Cruz del Sur Music/Gates of Hell label does to support northamerican heavy metal scene”, Evgeny adds.
“This year’s festival is just the beginning of a saga, the Stormbringer saga” – the promoters conclude. “We have huge plans for years to come! Don’t miss this one, the one that started it all. It will be one to remember!”
