HELLDONE FESTIVAL 2009 at Tavastia Dec 28-31

| No doubt about it, HIM is in. Then again they always have been, since the first Helldone Festival back in 2005 - and even beyond that. Since early August HIM has been working on their seventh studio album. The working title of the album is “Screamworks: Love in Theory and Practice” and it is scheduled to be released on Valentine’s Day 2010. Starving for live action the band has now decided they would love to headline each and every night of the Helldone 2009! The festival takes place in Tavastia club on December 28th-31st.

This year's special treat is brought to you by The 69 Eyes and Anathema, both playing acoustic in the intimate surroundings of Semifinal club. The 69 Eyes have just released the most hard rocking album of their careers in “Back In Blood”. The band will have a three-night residency what will without doubt consist of vampire ballads & debauchery at Semifinal.

On New Year's Eve Semifinal will be hosted by Anathema acoustic. Anathema is one of the forerunners of British doom metal. Anathema acoustic is an ad hoc line-up featuring band members Daniel, Vincent and Jamie Cavanagh, plus Sarah Cavanagh and Claire Molloy. A rare treat indeed!

As always, Helldone will present new acts as well:
On Monday it's time for Flamer, which is the new band of former Bleak frontman and songwriter Caleb. Flamer’s debut album “Molotov Cocktails” is in the pipeline. The reviews of Ghost Brigade’s 2007 debut "Guided by Fire" were glowing. The guys from Jyväskylä kept their cool, stayed focused and upped their game with this year’s “Isolation Songs”. Ghost Brigade will perform on Tuesday night.

After having released a handful of singles that received cult status Vanity Beach finally got around to releasing their debut album “A Life Of Vice” earlier this year. The band will show what their mix of noisy post-punk, haunting synthesizer soundscapes and dark metal overtones is all about on Wednesday. The support band on New Year's Eve is Major Label, an alternative metal trio from Helsinki. Their second album is titled “When I Am With You, You Are Safe”.

Helldone 2009 will also have a special resident DJ Crew, the infamous Club TarTar DJs: Ginger Boy, Egyptin Portti and Stereo Ramses.
