Another day in the lead up to Soundwave, another exciting announcement that’s made. A new Sidewave has been revealed and it’s a killer - Gwar, Amon Amarth, Satyricon & The Black Dahlia Murder all in one show? Sick! The only downfall is that it’s another to show to try and cram in that week, but hey, I’m not complaining! Details below, as well as all the other show’s we’re hoping to catch!
