The Scene Magazine Presents Wacken Metal Battle Canada Fan Favourite Contest; One Band To Rule Them All!
Last year’s first ever Wacken Metal Battle Canada was witness to Toronto, ON’s epic power/death metal band Crimson Shadows not only winning the 2013 Canadian final but conquering the international final in Wacken, Germany where they performed in front of thousands unknown to their behemoth sound of metal.
This year over 100 metal bands from across the country have been selected to compete.
As an official sponsor The Scene Magazine is offering an Ultimate Feature to the winner of the Wacken Metal Battle Canada Fan Favourite contest.
The winning band and one lucky fan will also be given a Honey Bubble Multi-Vaporizer kit, so they can vape their favourite herb, wax or oil, anytime, anywhere! (value of $79each) courtesy of 180smoke.ca
The winner will be interviewed by The Scene and have a track featured on the home page for 1 month.
The contest is open to all bands competing in Wacken Metal Battle Canada and the winner will be announced at the finals at the Opera house in Toronto June 7th.
The WMBC Fan Favourite contest does not guarantee any placement in the competition itself and all bands even those who have been eliminated from the live competition are qualified to win.
Fans can vote once per day
