Silver Lining Music - Wacken Records release to contain performances from Accept, Europe, Heaven Shall Burn, Kreator and Apocalyptica among others. WITH THE wonderful institution that is the Wacken Festival only a couple of months away, it is time for rock and metalheads worldwide to get into full training for that glorious week…and what better way than by engaging with, and imbibing to, the spectacular highlights of last year’s festival as heard on LIVE AT WACKEN 2017 - 28 YEARS LOUDER THAN HELL, which will be released by SL Music worldwide (except the US & Canada) on July 20th, 2018 via a bumper twin DVD - twin CD pack and also via digital download.

What a show. What an audience. What a festival. THANK YOU WACKEN! For thirty years now Kai Hansen is one of the iconic figures of heavy metal and with no doubt one of the most influential guitarists and singers to emerge from Germany. First with ground-breaking band HELLOWEEN (of which Hansen is one of the founding members) and later with GAMMA RAY, one of the bands that contributed to define the genre power metal, bringing it to generation of devoted fans worldwide since its first album.

Celebrating their 35 anniversary, Germany’s most successful Heavy Metal band, Scorpions, invited former members Uli Jon Roth, Michael Schenker and Herman Rarebell to join them onstage at Wacken Open Air 2006. Billed as “A Night To Remember, A Journey Through Time”, the August 3rd performance’s setlist was voted on by fans around the world via the Scorpions’ website and witnessed by over 60,000 metalheads in attendance.
