The Gauntlet.com Vyagra Music Present LOUDER HARDER FASTER
On June 3rd - 5th of 2005 the Earth will shake, the speakers will rumble and the heads will bang. TheGauntlet.com, Vyagra Music and Crocodile Rock Cafe are set to bring Allentown, PA to its knees with an impressive hard music festival like no other. The Louder Harder Faster festival promises to be a memorable one, with an amazing lineup and an affordable price that won't keep metal and hardcore fans away.
"The Gauntlet is tremendously proud to sponsor such a prestigious event" comments Senior Editor Erin Fox. The Gauntlet was founded in 1996 by company President Jason Fisher and is a comprehensive heavy metal website that draws over thirty thousand visitors on a daily basis. Fox adds "We firmly believe that this event will be making a tremendous impact in 2005 and in the years to come."
Such notable acts as Obituary, Trouble, God Forbid, Agnostic Front, Macabre, Incantation, Turmoil, Full Blown Chaos and Mushroomhead are scheduled to appear. The highlight of the festival will be an extremely rare performance by the classic Testament lineup of Chuck Billy, Eric Peterson, Alex Skolnick, Greg Christian and Louie Clemente. The weekend of metal mayhem will also include performances by the full original lineup of New York thrash titans Nuclear Assault and Speed\Kill/Hate, featuring members of Overkill. Just added to the festival are Jag Panzer and Metal Mike Chlasciak's Painmuseum. This will be a unique event for Painmuseum: When drummer Bobby Jarzombek was unable to cancel prior engagements for this particular performance, Paul Bostaph (Slayer, Testament, Forbidden) was called upon to fill in for this one night only. Also performing with Painmuseum will be Mike Lepond (Symphony X). With so many impressive bands, such a lineup cannot be missed by any true extreme music fan.
Tickets for the three-day festival are on sale now. Tickets are $60 in advance and can be purchased at the Crocodile Rock Café Box Office or at Vyagra Music. This is an all-ages event. If the weekend does not sell out, tickets will be available on individual days. Friday tickets will be $15, Saturday $35 and Sunday $35.
