HELLDORADO 2011

From the ashes and sulphuric wastes of last year's resurrection ritual, HELLDORADO-AID(S), the infernal HELLDORADO FESTival is once again violently alive! For the fourth time in mankind's doomed history of pathetic attempts of resistance, the hordes of flesh hungry demons and sadistic abominations will strike Trondheim city once again. The first weekend of August 2011, HELLFIRE's traitorous, devil worshipping anti-priests will open the burning gates to the bottomless abyss, unleashing unimaginable horrors upon the world.. Club Metro will be flooded by devouring hellflames, Satan's mutated hellspawn, and beer!

During the occult summoning spells of enormous proportions, The HELLFIRE Club will join forces with HYPERELEKTRIC's cybernetically enhanced starfleet commanders and PAUGH!!'s unstoppable war machines of massive steel, as well as an exclusive selection of some of the world's finest artists of musical perfection:

VIGILANTE (Chile) - Ivan Munoz aka Vigilante is one of the most important industrial artists in South America. With his aggressive and melodic mix of electro, ebm and metal he has been able to conquer a huge following all over the world. VIGILANTE has released 2 albums, 1 ep and one live DVD + CD, and now the 3rd album is being unleashed; "The New Resistance" will for sure conquer dancefloors from Japan to Spain, from the US to Sweden. VIGILANTE has been touring Europe 4 times before and they did visit Norway as supporting act for Agonoize when they visited Hellfire back in 2007... This will be a brutal, monumental, intense and all consuming experience !!

:OF THE WAND AND THE MOON: (Dk) - This danish project is one of the most influential projects on the international neofolk scene, a project that has gathered a huge following since its debut back in 1999. With 4 albums and numerous 7"s ,compilations and EPs behind them; and the 5th album being released this spring/summer, we now are very proud to present :OTWATM: live at Helldorado with full live crew (for the first time in Norway since Fantasifestivalen in Kristiansand in 2006). This is a living legend which now visits Trondheim for the first time ever, it will be hauntingly magickal and beautiful and NOT TO BE MISSED !!

GROOVING IN GREEN (Uk) - was formed in 2008 featuring ex-members from CHILDREN ON STUN and SOLEMN NOVENA. They took their name from a March Violets song and they described their sound as "Groove Goth"; with influences from both Goth, Rock and Industrial. They have enjoyed a great deal of success in a short period of time with much praise and great reviews all over the place. GROOVING IN GREEN have been called an "angrier MANIC STREET PREACHERS and even likened to PLACEBO. They have played at The Judgement Day Festival in Austria, The Whitby Gothic Weekend in the UK and they even headlined The Lumous Festival in Finland. Their debut "Post Traumatic Stress" is out and features Tony Petitt from FIELDS OF THE NEPHILIM on bass on "Escape Myself". Their concerts are known to be very powerful sessions, and we cant wait to see them at HELLDORADO 2011 !!

MEMMAKER (Ca/Dk) - If you can imagine a distant, dystopian future and a neon-lit club with a dance floor filled with cyborgs and robots, MEMMAKER would be the perfect sound track. MEMMAKER combines influences from a multitude of electronic music styles into an intense electro-industrial style inspired by sci-fi and Orwellian robot politics.
The band consists of the robot overlords G. Nadon and Yann F.. Forged in Canada, assimilated into the evil youth of København, Denmark. Also known as the cold, calculating masterminds behind the famous dark industrial act ISZOLOSCOPE. "How To Enlist In A Robot Uprising" (2008) is the first MEMMAKER album, and is packed with nothing but kickass club hits and epic win! For the Helldorado 2011 show, Guillaume, the chef on smack himself, will be joined by Tim van Neer on live keys and plasma rifles. With their second studio album right around the corner, expect lots of ecstatic party riffs you've never heard before.

STRIPTEASE (N/Dk) - ultra-powerful ass-kicking electro-house/industrial/metal hybrid groove act. With Tao Turèll from the infamous STORMSLAG on guitar and Eskil Hindrum (who performed with DESIGNER SUBSTANCE at Helldorado back in 2009) on electronics and the sexy Joy on vocals. Performing live with the hottest dancers from the fiery pits of sex STRIPTEASE will make you drool. Their debut is soon ready, and this in-your-face act with an attitude that would make the devil horny is truly something worth keeping and eye on, and yeah - definitely not to be missed !!

SNIKENDE STRIDSVOGN (N) - is Jørgen Pedersen from Death-A-Nova and Overformyderiet. SNIKENDE STRIDSVOGN (in english : SNEAKY TANK) plays Anhalt EBM with capital E. If you like bands like DAF, Nitzer Ebb, Project Altmark Electro and Jäger 90 then SNIKENDE STRIDSVOGN will most definitely make you want to move your ass, stomp your feet and raise your fist !! SNIKENDE STRIDSVOGN did play support when IONIC VISION visited Trondheim in November last year and gave us all a hell of a concert back then. SNIKENDE STRIDSVOGN do; in their own words; "play EBM (AND DRINKS BEER)!!"…. ´nuff said!!

In addition to these fine artists we are proud to present an array of more than fabulous DJs; among these will be MEMMAKER DJ-Team (hard electro, dirty drum & bass/dubstep/breakcore and a twist of hardcore/powernoise), DJ VIGILANTE & DJ THE GREAT FROG (Be) (crossover metal industrial EBM Electro mix), as well as HELLFIREs own resident DJs; DJ CyberShow, DJ Isa (Dk), DJ KATH and DJ-Team B2B A2M aka HYPeRKiNETiC vs Caligari (electronic ass-kicking mayhem). More additions to this fine program might suddenly appear as a flash from the 9th dimension!
