Metal 4 Africa started up as an online iniative to promote to existence of a healthy metal scene in South Africa. Since then it has hosted annual events which have proved to be highly successful and launched many local bands onto the broader music scene in South Africa.
This years Winterfest takes place in the Klein Libertas Theatre in Stellenbosch on Saturday the 28th of June. Due to transport problems last year, Metal 4 Africa has organised buses to transport people too and from the venue. Drop off points for your cars can be found on the website, and the added cost is R70 on top of the R50 general enterance fee. It’s definately a good option, especially when alcohol is involved!
This year the main feature of the show is the filming of the first ever African Metal DVD. Winterfest is the “Part 2” of the video and it should be a very exciting project to get involved in . Details for the DVD are also avaliable on the website.Once the finalists have been chosen at Klein Libertas, the final show down will happen at R.O.A.R. on the 5th of July. Since voted Cape Town’s Number 1 live music venue, R.O.A.R. guarentee’s a very impressive finale to the Winterfest phenomena! The judges include the ROAR sound engineer, their Paul Bothner rep aswell as their Jackson guitar rep. Prizes include Jackson Guitars, as well as the usual royalty that are rewarded to the winners of the competition. Besides excellent sound, R.O.A.R is also renowned for its brilliant drink specials which never dissapoint. (Double whiskey and mix R7.50...enough said!)
This year the line-up includes:
The War Insane
Architecture of Aggression
Day Turns Night
Warthane
Enmity
Contrast The Water
The Horror Cast
... as well as a special unannounced performer which is sure to impress!
