The band will be joined by the Icelandic black metal conjurers of Svartidauði, who are continuing to promote their 2018 album “Revelations of the Red Sword”.

Within the extreme metal spectrum also, the domestic group Denial Of God will also make an appearance, bringing with an assortment of new material from their 2019 album “The Hallow Mass”.

Only a limited number of 4-day tickets now remain for the festival, so if you intend to attend all of them, we’d suggest securing a partout + warm-up ticket now via Ticketmaster.dk. For more information, see the official Facebook event.
