Gli inglesi BOLT THROWER, dopo aver ricevuto l'offerta di suonare al Wacken Open Air Festival avevano lanciato un sondaggio tra i propri fans per chiedere se avessero mai dovuto partecipare.
Ora vi riportiamo il comunicato con cui la band ha comunicato che non prenderà parte al festival tedesco:

"Thanks a lot to the 17,484 people who voted in the poll, it was very much appreciated! Poll results here.

"As you know, this time we decided not to decline the Wacken Open Air offer as usual, but to have a poll and hear your views on it first-hand, before making our decision. Obviously we realized that a lot of people who would be voting would not necessarily be into BOLT THROWER, but we were very interested in the comments you would send. In the end we received hundreds of comments, and the huge majority confirmed what we were already thinking, that Wacken Open Air 2008 is not the right festival for BOLT THROWER.

"We would like to thank the Wacken Open Air organizers for their very unique offer and wish them every success, and for those of you going to Wacken Open Air 2008, and who voted in favour of us playing there, we hope you have a great weekend.

"We will soon be deciding and confirming which festival BOLT THROWER will be playing next summer.

"Thanks again to all of you who participated in the poll."
