Loud As Hell News Music publicist (and friend) Jon Asher (Asher Media Relations) sent this piece of news my way and I just had to share it. While I am not up to the task of attending it myself (old age, funds, and a lack of passport being just a few of the top reasons), Loud As Hell has a absolutely killer line-up going on and it sure sounds as if it will be one for the ages! Read on for all the details:

Western Canada's decibel breaking heavy metal festival Loud As Hell returns for its sixth consecutive year presented by Semchuk Productions, Jurassic Ink Custom Tattoo, Prairie Fire Events, and Asher Media Relations. Hosted in the Alberta badlands in Drumheller, this year's three day festival from August 4th-6th features 40 bands from across Western Canada and beyond. Ready to resurrect the roaring echoes of the dinosaurs that once ruled the area millions of years ago, the 2017 headliners Detroit tyrants BATTLECROSS will be melting the faces off headbangers and sure to stir a massive pit along with stoner rockers Vancouver's BLACK WIZARD will fellow city comrades sludge riffers BISON and Canadian 80's thrash legends AGGRESSION. The festival also includes various vendors, tattoo artists, suspension demos, guitar and drum clinics. Full line-up and set times listed below.

Weekend passes are now available at pre-sale price for $79 CAD until March 1st and will increase to the regular price of $99 CAD. Weekend passes include tent camping (additional onsite charges for RV's, trailers, & motorhomes).
