HERETOIR belong to the German spearhead of the atmospheric Black Metal of newer construction and have recently with Nightsphere delivered a concept album that has it in itself. The band relies on long songs, wild frenzy and profound melodies, coupled with an exuberant tendency to emotional cold-warm showers.
A constant in German Pagan Metal are the men of OBSCURITY. At work since the mid-90s, the band looks back on the proud sum of 9 albums and is a constant guest on Germany's (festival) stages. So it's high time to play in Schlotheim as well.
"Pack your swimming trunks - we're going to Party.San!" - when STILLBIRTH enter the stage, no one stands in position afterwards. The German Brutal-Deathers have convinced us with their performance at PSOA 2019 so much that there was no way around a second run.
"Behold the fall of man" - this is how the band name of REGARDE LES HOMMES TOMBER can be translated. Sounds apocalyptic?! It should! The French mix modern Black Metal with a lot of Sludge and create a pretty dark soup for you to spoon out!
RITUAL DEATH fuse the best of Death and Black Metal under a satanic guise. The Norwegians could win some new listeners in 2022 with their self-titled album and also underpin their status as an excellent live band.
HELLRIPPER is the name of the sinister solo brew of the Brit James McBain. The ingredients consist of a good portion of Speed Metal, some riff loads of Black Metal and a lot of snottiness. With the new album Warlocks Grim & Withered Hags in the luggage, the guys will heat you up until you burn up.
Ancient Greek Black Metal please! Here you go - VARATHRON! Unconventional, eccentric and always true to themselves, the men around singer and last founding member Necroabyssious have been touring for 35 years now. High time for a guest performance in Schlotheim!
German Black Metal "new old" design is difficult to discuss without naming ULTHA. Boundaries are offered to the total work of art, but are explored to the hardest and condense in sinister loneliness and emotional madness. We are looking forward to welcoming the band for a second time.
