W:O:A - Book - We The People of Wacken

Over the past two and a half decades, Wacken Open Air has evolved into the world's largest heavy metal festival, attracting a massive fan base each year to celebrate the music of their heroes, their lifestyle, and themselves. Photographer Pep Bonet has uniquely captured the inimitable atmosphere of this cult festival in detail, from the fans' perspective. From the entrance to the exuberant party in front of the stage, and even during the shared celebrations and relaxation at the campsites, he accompanied the crowds, capturing them in captivating, evocative, and often deeply moving images, which have since been artfully edited. As a reader of these 180 richly illustrated pages, you are instantly immersed in the action and can easily drift through the grounds of the mother of all festivals. As a soundtrack to this exciting journey, the package also includes the "Live at Wacken 2013" double CD, featuring legends like ANNIHILATOR, MOTÖRHEAD, NIGHTWISH, PRETTY MAIDS, AMORPHIS, and even the venerable DEEP PURPLE and ALICE COOPER, all taking turns performing to give you a fantastic time. W:O:A® reveals itself here as more than just a music event; it's a way of life.
