It’s Wacken Battle season again across Canada, and so many local bands are gearing up to duke it out with their peers for a chance to play 2019’s Wacken Open Air Festival in Germany. With Edmonton being a staple city in the battles, round one of the Edmonton shows took place at Temple last night, featuring Within The Fury, Haxor, Apollo Spitfire and Rising Sun. The four bands battled it out with thrashers Rising Sun shredding their way to victory, and granting them passage to the next round where they will go up against 3 other yet to be determined Western Canadian finalists.
