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!
