V tokratnem Metal detektorju najprej zabava z nemškimi grinderji Excrementory Grindfuckers. Za ljubitelje brutalnejših zvokov sledijo Suicide Silence, Facebreaker, Asesino in Dark Age. Ne bomo spregledali Kalifornijskih mulcev Warbringer, ki prakticirajo thrash metal stare šole, za ljubitelje (melodičnega) heavy metala pa Stormwarrior, Rage in Crown Of Glory. V gothic vode s Crematory, nekoliko ostrejše z Norther in za na koncu grande finale z odličnimi black metalci Dark Fortress. Metal detektor je na sporedu ob 22:00 na Radiu Študent, 89.3 MHz ali www.radiostudent.si. /M.P.C./
