“Catchy melodic metal-inspired punkrock, the bastard child of Darkthrone and Turbonegro: call them what you will. Kvelertak is a relatively new band from Stavanger, Norway and they will blow you away with their self-titled debut album.”

Spits: “Extreme metalheads blijken extreem relaxed.”

De Gelderlander: “Een groot feest.”

OOR: “De toekomst van Nederlandse metalfestivals.”

LiveXS: “Iedereen kan terug kijken op een geweldige dag. We mogen trots zijn dat we in NL toch een groot metafestival hebben met een gevarieerde programmering voor breed metalpubliek.”

Retecool: ““Al met al was het een geslaagd festival. Het was nergens te druk waardoor je snel je hapje en je drank had en het publiek heeft zich voorbeeldig gedragen. Ik ben blij dat de Nederlandse traditie van een metal festival door deze organisatie word voortgezet en volgend jaar ben ik er zeker weer bij.””

Musicfrom: “Als eendaags metalfestival heeft FortaRock zich wederom bewezen.

Roarezine: “De organisatie kan terugkijken op een geslaagd festival.”

Gitarist: “…er was geen band die teleur stelde, het geluid was overwegend uitstekend en de catering was op en top verzorgd.”
