Press Notes:

Billing Into the Grave festival complete: Obituary, Ensiferum and Betraying the Martyrs confirmed.

What do a French metal core band, a Finnish folk metal group and an American death metal icon have in common? Betraying the Martyrs, Ensiferum and Obituary have been confirmed for the Dutch metal festival Into the Grave! With these names, the line-up of the festival is complete. Into the Grave will be held on the 8th of August, in Leeuwarden, the Netherlands.

Obituary is a band that every death metal fan knows. These American death metallers are seen as one of the pioneers of the genre. Last year, the group released their latest effort Inked in Blood and with this album, they proved that they remain relevant in the metal scene to this day. The Finnish folk metal band Ensiferum is capable of turning every show into an epic feast with songs about heroes, battles and booze! So dress up as a warrior and join Ensiferum when they go into battle at Into the Grave 2015! The French metalcore band Betraying the Martyrs will destroy the city of Leeuwarden with their heavy riffs and break downs.

The line-up of Into the Grave consists of the following bands: Sabaton (SWE),Sepultura (BRA), Obituary (USA), Cannibal Corpse (USA), Ensiferum (FIN),Avatar (SWE), Audrey Horne (NO) and Betraying the Martyrs (FRA). One more band will be added, the opener of the festival, but this band will be selected via a local band competition called Highway to Hell. The winner of this competition will open both Into the Grave and Dokk’em Open Air.
