Taking
Place on August 25, 2012 on the USS Hornet Aircraft Carrier in Alameda, CA
Slaughter
By The Water 3 is
pleased to announce that USTREAM.tv will be joining up to stream the festival
live from the USS Hornet! Fans can watch the main stage performances at the
festival on USTREAM.tv for just a one-time payment of $1.99. The stream will be
located here: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/sbtw3.
“I want to
express how extremely happy I am. After all of the time, effort and love that
we put into the festival last year, 23,000 people watched the festival online
via USTREAM.tv,” states Slaughter By The Water organizer Nicholas
Gomez. “This year, to let the world share in this uniquely historic annual
event with us just as they did before, we’re pleased to be teaming up with
UStream once again!”
“The
purpose for the live stream… we have Exodus performing on a
military ship! Although that seems like reason enough, we’re here in the Bay
Area throwing the largest metal event to depict the Bay Area’s rich musical
history to the entire world,” adds Nicholas. “That’s why we’ve chosen Exodus as
the headliner, because they are the originators of Bay Area thrash and got the
world to “waltz it up”. What place more metal to do this than on a WWII air
craft carrier?”
Aside from
Bay Area thrash headliners Exodus, the main stage will also include
performances by Philm, Severed Fifth, Absu, Witchaven, Impaled,
Autopsy, Fog of War and Abysmal Dawn. The Pier stage
will include performances by Enemy In Peril, Desecrator, Necrosin,
Hemotoxin, Mudface, Scars of Envyand ZH.
The third
annual Slaughter By The Water event will take place on August
25, 2012 on the USS Hornet Aircraft Carrier in Alameda, CA. Sponsored by
Monster Energy Drink, Lock & Shock, Rock The Bike, Bay Area Rocks, Scion,
Native American Health Center, Dunlop, Anchor Bay Tattoos, Ustream, and
Expressions College. The event is hosted by Testament’s Chuck
Billy.
“Slaughter
By The Water is a music festival that stands out from the rest. This
is not your ‘normal’ American metal festival,” states Nicholas. “We like to
keep it interesting by adding some distinct and unique notables. Also, fans can
undergo the ‘nautical festival experience’ without having to leave a dock, pay
expensive cruise prices, or pop some Dramamine.”
