KOSMOKRATOR is another pitch black hopeful from Belgium and active since 2013. The foundation of KOSMOKRATOR's sound is slow motion old school Death/Black Metal with heavy and slow guitars, so heavy that also Doom/Death of the late 80s/early 90s is a big influence in their sound. Check out their live show at the tentstage.

KALMAH stands for melodic Death/Heavy Metal made in Finland. Kalmah is a band that has its niche hammered out very well, and continues to offer both classic examples of its successful formula, as well as slowly fleshing out its sound to incorporate a few more interesting elements. A must for fans of Insomnium, Wolfheart and maybe Amorphis.
