The first batch of bands for the Fall of Summer 2017 festival in France were announced in an overenthusiastic press release for a decent but not great lineup. Blasphemy, Demolition Hammer, and Bulldozer are playing along with a bunch of dumb hipster bullshitters and stoner doom idiots. Check it out if you’re nearby and want to deal with a bunch of drunken beer metallers.
The Fall of Summer team is proud to unveil the first eight bands of its 2017 line-up. If you like doom metal you’ll be happy to see the Americans from SAINT VITUS on stage or the first french gig of the Swedish COUNT RAVEN and if you prefer stoner metal, the English from ORANGE GOBLIN will be there for you.
We’re also glad to announce that the mighty PRIMORDIAL and their mix of black metal and irish folk will share the stage with the Canadians founders of war metal BLASPHEMY for their first show in France since 1993. For those who are more into thrash metal be sure not to miss the Americans from DEMOLITION HAMMER who haven’t played in France for more than 27 years or the Italians from BULLDOZER for who it will be the first time. And because our country has some great bands to offer, NECROWRETCH will amaze you with their high quality death black metal !

Primordial is pretty good, regardless of their most recent album.
Agreed. I’ve been listening to the live album they put out a couple months ago and most of the songs come off better than their studio counterparts. They were also included on the “best metal of the year” list several years ago, from what I remember.
Is Saint Vitus uncool now, or something?
Maraat posts have got to be written by a bot. All you have to do is scan the headline and any bands mentioned and you can fill in the rest.
I like Necrowretch. In case someone cares, there’s a preview track for the upcoming album available here:

This seems to have a good does of ‘early Sodom’ in it, specifically, the vocals are similar to some on Obsessed By Cruelty (and the mood of the track ‘feels similar’ to me, too).
Orange Goblin has a T-shirt looking like this

(saw that in Reading once), so they’re probably “Proudly beer-metal!”.
