Let´s begin with Iceland - The winner from the Island of Ice and Fire ic called In The Company of Men (short: ITCOM).

Today´s finalist number two comes from Poland: Founded in 2007 Materia from Szczecinek can look back on a very successful past: The release of an EP and LP, roundabout 150 shows including a tour with Decapitated and a festival appearance at Sonisphere festival where they shared stages with bands like Slayer and Metallica are only a few to name. Now they are heading straight to Wacken!

Renaissense are the winners from Slovakia. At the national finale the band from Rožňava won against 5 competitors. The Wacken audience can look forward to an impressive mix of power and progressive metal. Be prepared!

Last but not least we want to introduce you to Scratch the Floor - the winner from Metal-Battle Caucasus. The self titled Modern Metal band already shared the stage with bands like Thrashless, Lake Of Tears, Dead By April, Vader and also Diary Of Dreams.
