“We’re thrilled about this. Having a legendary player such as Jeff Waters judging and travelling across the country is something I think the bands will really appreciate. It will push them to perform their absolute best, and that’s exactly what we want. A big thanks to Thomas Jensen and Wacken for helping make this project possible.” comments WMBC organizer JJ Tartaglia. In addition, a video ‘Battle Report’ will be filmed that will follow Jeff Waters judging, travelling and interviewing competing bands/members during Wacken Metal Battle Canada.

Jeff Waters comments: “Well it looks like I get to have some good metal fun in the next few months! Thanks to the Wacken Battle Canada, and my affiliation with my old German friends who run the mighty Wacken Festival, I will be crossing this fine land of ours soon to judge the many talented bands involved in the “Battle“. This is such an amazing opportunity for Canadian bands and I am honoured to be a part of it! I will also be filming for a “Wacken Battle“ report. Come down to the shows & say “Hi“! Let’s show the world how good our bands are and how much we love our music!”
