Dutch melodic death metal five piece Purest of Pain has won the metal battle finals and will represent the country at Wacken Open Air!
Guitar player Merel Bechtold comments: “Each of the participating bands, Tribal Spirits, Red Eyes, GODSCUM, Impalement and Illusionless, would have deserved to play at the festival if you ask me. The quality of these Dutch bands really blew me away.” Despite of that, Bechtold is thrilled about winning the contest. “This is a highlight in the career of Purest of Pain.”
