Pontins is associated more with family holidays than heavy metal, or hell for that reason, but the Hard Rock Hell will again blast the cobwebs out of the system and Betty from Room 52's perm straight off of her head.

Around 40 massive monsters of metal are set to descend on Pontins in Prestatyn, North Wales to rock the resort in December. Last year Cradle Of Filth, My Dying Bride and Turisas performed so expect similar axe-thrashers for the three-day event in 2008.
