The Canadian progressive metal band Protest The Hero broke through in 2008 with their second album and riff-bombardment Fortress, described by OOR as 'an essential record for anyone who loves math and madness.' Protest The Hero combines their technically sophisticated metal with equally sophisticated ironic lyrics – couple this with a frontman who effortlessly switches from melodic to aggressive, and you understand why this band has been leaving every stage smoking for twenty years. They are bringing two support acts: Vianova (GER, metalcore/angry dance music) and Coral Springs (NLD, punk rock)!
