The Inferno Metal Festival has become a sold out success each
year, as well as an annual gathering of the international metal
industry. In 2006, in collaboration with MFO, we started the
Inferno Music Conference (IMC) as a professional get together for
the metal and rock scene during the festival. Three days of total
musical mayhem surely rocks Easter, and in addition having the
people in the industry, getting together in day time - connecting,
inspiring each other, having loads of discussions, sharing ideas
and pushing metal business one step further - that's good.
This year we're launching the second edition of IMC: Promoters,
journalists, designers, artists, managements, labels, venues,
booking agencies, photographers - If metal music is your business…
join in!
