18:30 – Moment Of Clarity Easily one of the country’s most promising up and coming bands across the board! Moment of Clarity offer live music fans an electric set of metal with a more listener-friendly edge. We could not think of a better band to kick off the METAL4AFRICA STAGE
19:30 – COLD HAND CHEMISTRY Still holding onto the slightly less extreme side of things, to ease you into the nights entertainment, Cold Hand Chemistry should not be missed! Female fronted hard rock with some breathtaking instrumentation, and no shortage of chills to send up many a spine
20:30 - The Warinsane “…Let slip the Dogs of War!” SA extreme metal in your face! The Warinsane features veteran metal musicians from many-a-band of yesteryear… but today! By the time these guys are done, there will be no doubt that you found the right place.
21:30 – Day Turns Night Are a gem from the darkest corner of the Cape Town region: Strand. And over the last two years, Day Turns Night have been proving to a nation that through hard work and dedication, mountains can be moved! Make sure you don’t miss these guys.
22:30 – New Altum Needs no introduction to the Alternative music scene in SA. This band has a track record of live shows that will not be out-done! They have toured with international vsitors and delighted crowds everywhere. Now, we will have them do so at Ramfest.
23:00 Facing the Gallows Bringing the mixing pot back to the boil, Facing The Gallows are likely the most exciting band to come out of Guateng in years. No strangers to Ramfest, we welcome them back to continue the slaughter…
00:30 – Reverse The Sands It would hardly be fitting to end the night on a low note, therefore we bring you Reverse The Sands! High energy, high speed, and highly recommended that you don’t drink yourself into a stupor before this band takes to the stage. These guys are guaranteed to keep your ears ringing till the M4A Stage re-opens at 15:30 on Saturday 27th.
Line-up for Saturday 27 February
15:30 – Symphonic Schizophrenia Instrumentally inspiring! Come and see Bruce Sonnekus (Shredder Showdown winner) and his band rip the stage to pieces with their impressive instrumental set.
16:30 - A B TURBO Setting a moderate pace for the day, A B Turbo are one of the cities fast uprising heroes of the Alternative/Hard Rock scene. If you have not seen them yet, this is your golden opportunity!
17:30 – Enmity One of the most interesting bands in the hard/alternative/extreme scene, Enmity offer a diverse cross-over between a multitude of genre. This will be their first time doing both a Ramfest or M4A event, but we have every confidence that they will blow your minds wide open!
18:30 – Betray the Emissary Bringing the M4A stage back to it’s roots in the hardest of SA music, Betray The Emissary need no further introduction. For some reason, they have not yet played Ramfest, and now we have the opportunity to right this wrong. Don’t miss em.
19:30 – Pestroy The fact that these guys are still going after all these years must stand testament to their excellence. Another fine example of metal crossing-over into other genres, but without losing an ounce of heaviness, we are very excited about seeing Pestroy coming to Destroy…
20:30 – Mind Assault Cape Town’s longest surviving protagonists of extreme metal return for another electrifying set at Ramfest with an onslaught of classic SA metal tracks. Beware not to miss this band, as they have developed a reputation for pulling all sorts of surprizes at live shows…
21:30 – Sacrifist Metal Legends of note! SacriFist seem to find themselves in Cape Town every 2 years or so, and we took the opportunity to snatch them up to grace our M4A stage with their presence. Come and see a band that has been dominating the SA metal scene for some 16-odd years!
22:30 – Strident Somehow, and from out of nowhere, Strident have burst forth into the Cape Town metal scene with the force of a dragons flame! We could not deny them this well-earned slot at the Western Cape’s premier alternative and extreme music festivals. Make sure you save your strength for the battle which promises to ensue.
23:30 – Guns Go Bang Once again ending the night with a burst of energy, to send you to your sleeping sack comletely broken and ready for a good nights rest… yeah, whatever – the party will go on! And to wish you well on your late night-till-dawn revelry, Guns Go Bang from Gauteng!
