Metallica's Orion Music + More in Atlantic City adds more names

Metallica promised much more names for this summer's Orion Music + Much more, the two-day festival the band is co-curating. The metal heroes also insisted they'd maintain the lineup eclectic.
Metallica is creating good on those pledges. This morning, Orion Music + More announced that nation star Eric Church, space rockers Wooden Shijps beats by dr dre, funky brass band Soul Rebels, and the Jim Breuer Heavy Metal Comedy Tour will join Arctic Monkeys beats headphones, Avenged Sevenfold, Modest Mouse Dr Dre Beats, the Gaslight Anthem, Titus Andronicus Dre Beats, A Place to Bury Strangers, and others at Bader Field Airport in Atlantic City on June 23 and 24. Orion also announced Harm monster beats, Inc. -- a stage at Orion dedicated to thrash and punk. Long-running Venice hardcore band Suicidal Tendencies and Brazilian metal band Sepultura will headline Harm, Inc. beats by dre studio, and Torche, Red Fang dr dre headphones, Kyng, Landmine Marathon beats pro, Thy Will be Done, and the ferocious Black Tusk will appear on the undercard
The Damage monster headphones, Inc. stage adds a bit more difficult rock heft and deafening thunder towards the Orion lineup. However the addition of Church confirms, if there had been any lingering doubts Beats By Dre, that this really is not going to become a regular midsummer metal festival. Eric Church does rock difficult for a nation artist: "Chief," his most current album, is an enjoyable exercise in Nashville swagger with a few ruminative moments thrown in to satisfy genre requirements (the latest single, pointedly titled "Springsteen," is really a good instance of that.) Wooden Shijps, too, play hard and loud, but the band is more thinking about psychedelic exploration than traditional headbanging.
Metallica has ambitious plans for the Orion Music + Much more. The band will play their chart-topping self-titled set -- popularly known as "The Black Album" -- in its entirety on 1 evening, and metal classic "Ride the Lightning" in its entirety on the other. "The Black Album" consists of "Enter Sandman," the band's best-known song, stomper "Sad But Accurate," brooding "The Unforgiven," and "Nothing Else Matters," the closest Metallica has ever come to penning a slow-dance number. "Ride The Lightning," on the other hand, is sheer metal force. The band will not reprise these feats elsewhere this year, so if you would like to determine these albums come alive, you've got to head for the Shore.
