Modern metal – with attitude. AWS is a five-piece band from the Hungarian capital Budapest, playing modern metal. The core members of AWS started out on their musical journey as teenagers in 2006. With sixteen years of intense touring in Hungary and abroad, three LPs, numerous music videos and excellent feedback from both professionals and fans under their belt, they grew to be one of the most sought-after live bands of the Hungarian metal scene. They won the Final of A Dal 2018 with sweeping support from the Hungarian metal community and they lighted up the Eurovision stage in Lisbon with their song Viszlát nyár (Summer Gone) in 2018. During their stint at Eurovision Song Contest it was announced that AWS were invited to play at Wacken Open Air in August 2018.
