The recently resurfaced Dokken will be among the hard-hitting acts heading to Cleveland next month for the fifth annual World Series Of Metal.

The band, which recently delivered a "Best Of" collection to stores, will join Overkill, Mushroomhead, Criminal, and 54 other bands for the three-day metal smorgasbord August 6-8 at Cleveland's Agora Complex.

Those who can't make the pilgrimage to Cleveland will be glad to know that the festival will be carried on the Internet at www.liverock.com.

Here's how the World Series will play out:

Sanctorum, Coinmonster, 216, Profane, Hate Theory, Sporadic Still, Puzzle, Soul Destruction, Resin Dogs, Mud Box
