I think that the new BMTH album will be more metal oriented that most of people are expecting, that's why i don't see them headlining Reading anymore. The only metal band that headlined Reading nowadays were Metallica, and that's because they're absolutely huge. Can't see Reading giving "the push" to headline to another metal band. Maybe BMTH must need headline Download first and then in the next album cycle finally headline Reading

I’m gonna disagree. I think the new track is probably as heavy as the album will get, as he did say Amo is going to be like nothing they’ve done before. So far IMO they’ve borrowed from the sound of TTS and Sempiternal. Oli did say they recorded Mantra last and released it because he didn’t know what to give the fans (aka he knows the album is different and doesn’t know how fans will react). I absolutely love BMTH but something tells me the 2 tracks released so far were done so to keep some of the older fans, or at least from Sempiternal days, happy.

I think it's completely different from TTS and Sempi. This is fun and playful Bring Me, and I'm backing it highly.

Oh I agree, it’s different. But I can see similarities - the breakdown in wonderful life did remind me of Sempiternal a bit, with the lyrics feeling very TTS. But as you said, I’m defo backing it!

It has got TTS references but the way it's written is also sounds like they almost didn't know what to write. It sounded like parts of Throne without the actual umpf of it. Like TA when they started just singing nothing.

I spoke to my friend at the weekend. He suggested that Rammstein are playing DL 2019 UK

Nova Rock and Resurrection Fest are announcing a headliner at the very same time tomorrow, i guess there's someone releasing a full tour announcement. Any bet on who could be?

where you saw this?

[LovelessNL]

Its basically a leak on their website where missing bio pages point you in the direction of acts for GMM19.

They've just announced Within Temptation as the first headliner. See the Graspop topic in International Festivals for more details.

[Jericode]

First headliner at 2pm tomorrow.

3 headliners, we reckoning?

[Reece1617]

I reckon we'll get 1 headliner and a few other bands as it seems to be coinciding with Graspop... but what do I know, could just be an announcement of an announcement for the announcement like last year. 

[Jericode]

Looking again it says first announcement rather than headliner, so there's every chance it could be more than one.

Graspop already announced Within Temptation didn't they? It'll coincide with Nova Rock and Resurrection if anything.

First announcement will be at the very same time that Nova Rock and Resurrection, so it's a band who are releasing all tour dates at the same time, just like Ozzy did last year. Maybe Slipknot or Kiss?

Nova rock are doing the same time as download and then phase 1 lineup the next morning at 7 

[DomDom1984]

I think it'll be Slipknot at the very least, given that they're not long after saying that the shows are coming.

I do think KISS will be on there as well, but no idea if they'll announce them on this one.

[gabrielomachado]

I forgot that Kiss played on Resu this year, really doubt that they would be there 2 years in a row. So they're not the announcement. I'm really thinking of Slipknot but may be Tool or Rammstein as well

[pete76]

Slipknot 100% because Resurrection also is announcing headliner at the same time and Kiss played there this year

Rammstein won’t be at Nova Rock

Why not?

[gabrielomachado]

I was thinking of Iron Maiden but they played Nova Rock last year. So the only band who was almost confirmed to play June festivals and didn't played neither of the festivals who are releasing something tomorrow is Slipknot. Can be Tool or Rammstein or someone totally unexpected but Knot is the most likely

[dannymichaels]

Here's me still anticipating BMTH ?

[Red Day]

With the lack of any really concrete rumours, Slipknot seem best bet

I almost got hypothermia the last time Slipknot played. Hope the weather's better if they play.

So...it's Slipknot. I'm still hoping for Tool but it's only a dream, not really a bet.
