I think I might be more sorry about missing a festival than ever. The lineup for Hellfest 2008 - which occurred this past weekend in Clisson, France - was possibly the most stacked I've ever seen. In order to ease my grief, and yours as well, I have compiled a select list of some of the best footage that's been uploaded from the festival. Check it out:


Morbid Angel are back together and killing it with David Vincent back behind the stick and new guitarist Destructhor shredding away. Where the fucking slime live!



Carcass are back as well to reclaim their throne as the kings of gore:



Cavalera Conspiracy is the Cavalera brothers' best work since early Sepultura:



Will anyone ever be cooler than Motörhead?



NOFX may seem misplaced on this bill, but seriously, who doesn't like them?



In Flames were up to their usual melodic tricks:



Helloween and Gamma Ray played some sort of joint set. Try and count how many guitarists are on stage at once. *Hint: Six!*



Guess who else is back? At the Gates!



Finally, what metal fest would be complete without Slayer playing "Raining Blood"?
