SLIPKNOT, CARCASS, DRAGONFORCE Confirmed For Japan's LOUD PARK 08 Festival

May 30, 2008

SLIPKNOT, CARCASS and DRAGONFORCE are among the confirmed bands for the Loud Park 08 festival, set to take place October 18-19 at the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama City, Japan.

The festival billing is shaping up as follows:

SLIPKNOT
CARCASS
SONATA ARCTICA
DRAGONFORCE
APOCALYPTICA
OBITUARY
MESHUGGAH
SECRET & WHISPER

More bands will be announced soon.

SLIPKNOT frontman Corey Taylor told Billboard.com earlier in the month that the band's new album, tentatively due out on August 12, will "rip your face off," adding, "I don't think the world will be ready for this album." The group's yet-to-be-titled fourth effort will follow up 2004's "Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses)", with Taylor calling it a "very dark" cross between that and its 2001 sophomore CD, "Iowa". Taylor described the new record as having "so much power in it and yet there are so many great spots for melody...It's a controlled chaos that hits you right out of the gate."
