JOEY DEMAIO: 'MANOWAR Fans Have Triumphed Again'

March 3, 2009

MANOWAR, HOLYHELL and METALFORCE are the first confirmed bands for this year's Magic Circle Festival, set to take place Saturday, July 18 in Loreley, Germany. More acts will be announced soon.

Commented MANOWAR bassist Joey DeMaio: "At this point in time, I had to take a moment to express the bands appreciation for the unbelievable faith our family of metal has shown to us once again and to the world.

"In time, the whole of the truth will be told as to just how much adversity we have faced in bringing Magic Circle Festival III to you all; now is not the time. For one minute, I will stop to drink a beer with my brothers in MANOWAR and the Magic Circle family and we will hold our glasses high in the name of the greatest and strongest and most fantastically loyal fan family in the world. Together we have accomplished our dream — we have built a festival for our fan family, a place where each year we will all meet to celebrate our individuality as people and the common bond that holds us together as The True Defenders Of Steel. We are already planning 2010, 2011, and 2012. Be ready for an announcement from the stage about 2010, following the one and only exclusive performance of our new album.

"This next part of my message is for all who tried to stop us.

FUCK YOU, ASSHOLES! YOU FAILED! We will be on the ground this year and for many years to come. Please don't die now, live long and suffer each day of your life knowing you were born a FUCKING LOSER. Then see if you can at least accomplish one thing right in your life and then KILL YOURSELF SO WE CAN PISS ON YOUR GRAVE.
