Further bands added to MCF IV @METALCAMP 2010

Swedish melodic death metal band Arch Enemy has been causing a significant amount of damage throughout the world over the past several years with albums like Doomsday Machine and Rise of the Tyrant, and are now officially confirmed.

Virgin Steele is ''gradually becoming a European metal phenomenon'' according to allmusic.com, and Magic Circle Festival IV is proud to announce their addition to the bill in Tolmin, Slovenia on July 11, 2010.

With the release of Ghost Opera in 2007, Tampa, Florida-based symphonic metal group Kamelot became "one of the most difficult-to-categorize artists on the metal scene." Kamelot joins the ranks at Magic Circle Festival IV @ Metalcamp.

Other confirmed acts include MANOWAR, HolyHell, Metalforce and Crosswind. Magic Circle Festival IV @ Metalcamp takes place this summer in Tolmin, Slovenia on July 11th. Tickets can be purchased here

HAMMER OF THE GODS - 9th sneak into the TAS short novel by Wolfgang Hohlbein

A shadow slid along the edge of his sight and quickly dissapeared again. Thor surpressed the urge to take Mjollnir off his belt or at least draw his sword. Maybe the only reason he did not do so was to not stirr even more dust, that might have made it even more difficult to see anything in this room.

When he turned around - slowly - he saw the door. It was located just next to the window and was much smaller then those he had seen here so far. And if he had allowed himself such a silly thought in this moment, he might have been almost certain that it had not been there just a moment ago.
