Featured artists 2013:
- Russian Circles
- Russian Circles are the ultimate instrumental metal outfit. They’re the outcome of a crossover between technical knowledge and post-rock’s spatial ambient and harmonic possibilities, proving from record to record they instrumental music can still be the freshest thing on music’s block. At Amplifest’13 the trio will be playing a set full of new material to be released in the full-length successor of their last and critically acclaimed record, “Empros”. Time to live yet again a performance from a humongous machine.

- Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats
- Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats have a pretty self-explanatory name. The Deadbeats have all the groove need to create a good and sludgy hard rock and Uncle Acid, well… that’s the obvious part: K.R. Starrs aka Uncle Acid is the voice from 60s influenced psychedelia, screeming and screeching from each guitar solo and heavy riff in the British band. After putting out “Volume 1” and “Bloodlust”, the Cambridge based band released “Mind Control”, an effort as doomy as Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats have always been, and as psyched out as any soberish band can aim be at most. Let’s just say this is not their “at most”, which is something to be experienced live, at Amplifest.

- Chelsea Wolfe
- There are few words that can describe what Chelsea Wolfe and her voice can do to the unaware music listeners and lover. If there’s something paranormal happening in her songs, and we shall say there is, it’s all because of Chelsea’s own love for music, frequencies and what it can do to a human being. That is what connects the singer-songwriter to their audience, actually: it doesn’t matter how far much she’ll distance herself from the listener, her music will always keep the really close, either haunting you with electrifying rock or with some of the most beautiful folk songs. Later this year Chelsea Wolfe will be releasing a new full-length effort, which she’ll be playing in Amplifest.
