Snow, Skiing And Sabaton At Full Metal Mountain

Full Metal Mountain aims to offer a winter holiday for metal heads, with acts like Sabaton, Accept, and Heaven Shall Burn confirmed.

ICS’s CEO Holger Hübner and his team of promoters bank on around 3,000 metal lovers paying €599 for the basic package consisting of festival and ski pass, accommodation and a shuttle that will take them to the slopes/festival site and back.

Other acts that have already been confirmed include In Extremo, Gamma Ray, Dog Eat Dog, Beyond the Black, Eskimo Callboy, Orden Ogan, Alkbottle, Russkaja and Devil’s Train. More announcements will be made; the initial press release states ICS aims for more than 30.

“Like in Wacken the music program will definitely be one thing: loud and true. We will bring a good mixture of different metal to the mountains,” said Hübner. Tröpolach at Nassfeld is the biggest ski area in Carinthia.

Three stages – The Peak, Mountain Stage and Base Camp – will help spread the action from the summit all the way down to the valley.

While the musical offering can be controlled, the weather is a different thing. Skiers can rest assured, as the region’s micro climate apparently guarantees snow during the season – at least according to the local tourists’ office.
