The Extremefest is a three-day metal festival that has been taking place in various cities in German-speaking countries since 2007.

Extremefest 2012
In the run-up to the sixth edition of the festival (the first, however, under the new name “Extremefest”), there were strong criticisms from festival visitors about the name change. One fan wrote on Facebook:
“Whoa, folks Arkona and Disawoved on a stage, I'm going to throw up! RIP Death Feast !!!!!! “, 'Fuck off !!! So the best festival we have in Germany is history ... I don’t feel like such a misch-masch shit festival with any black metal honks ... rest in fucking peace Deathfeast Open Air .... ', and " Tzz used to be slam clubs from Vomitous and Devourment, now bad freezing rain and Whitecheapel. Rip, I will NOT go to the Extreme Festival "
On the same day the organizer made his statement about the name change, which can be found on the homepage of the Death Feast Openair. He emphasizes that the lineup will continue to focus on death metal and grindcore . As one of the main reasons, the organizer cited the annually increasing costs for hosting the festival. Among other things, fans accused the organizer of “betraying the scene”. The organizer of the Extreme Festival is Rock the Nation .

On May 31, 2012, the organizer of the Extreme Festival published the running order for this year's festival. In Hünxe the bands will perform as follows:
There were also difficulties in the run-up to the first edition of the Austrian edition of the Extreme Festival. Originally the festival was supposed to take place in Henndorf near Salzburg . Despite a written promise from the residents, the municipality withdrew the offer. A new venue was quickly found in the VAZ in St. Pölten .
criticism
One group tried to influence the festival negatively by accusing the organizer of “glorifying” violence, cannibalism and satanism. The organizer said in an interview with Earshot that although there are “always negative influences”, it also rejected the group's allegations as “character assassination”.
The diocesan bishop Klaus Küng warned in advance of the Extreme Festival in St. Pölten against a mixture of bands with “aggressive-occult band names, allusions to blood and violence and disturbing images”, as well as from the names, in his opinion, offensive to several participating bands, where he is under Cannibal Corpse , Suicide Silence and Hellish Crossfire , among others . He is of the opinion that this mixture is not good for the listener. The organizers were calm about the criticism. They are glad that Mr. Küng has resorted to "the peaceful means of criticism". In addition, he was "cordially invited" to get an idea of how the festival was going.
