Paradise Lost And More Added To Mystic Festival

Paradise Lost with a special program to be selected by fans, as well as Dark Funeral, Blood Command and Mimi Barks join the Mystic Festival 2024 program. Unfortunately, despite earlier announcement, Scowl will not perform in Gdansk this year.

Paradise Lost
From the cold, dank dungeons of "Lost Paradise" to the bleak brightness of "Obsidian", Paradise Lost follow their own path through the dark, meandering between doom and death metal and gothic rock. The Brits have been writing their history for more than three decades, and it can be read in many different ways - there are so many cult albums in their discography, so many immortal anthems. But this time it's not the band that will decide what will be played, the setlist for the Gdansk concert will be compiled by the fans! How? When? We'll keep you posted... In the meantime, listen carefully to Paradise Lost's albums and take notes, because decision time will come.

Dark Funeral
One of the mightiest forces in the Swedish black metal scene, also worshipped in Poland since their furious debut "The Secrets of the Black Arts". Years pass, but Lord Ahriman and his horde remain faithful to the darkness, as they proved most recently, in 2022, by successfully spewing blasphemies on the album "We Are the Apocalypse".

Blood Command
The title of the Norwegians' last album to date, released in 2023, is "World Domination" - and it's all true. The panzer punk from Bergen, with charismatic Australian Nikki Brumen at the front, is already a global phenomenon. And they take no prisoners.

Mimi Barks
She may have titled her mixtape "DEADGIRL", but reviewers had no doubt - a new star was born into dark, twisted music. "Mimi Barks is becoming one of the most essential artists in modern alternative music" - this is "Kerrang!", with a score of 5/5. You can call it grime metal, you can call it doom trap, and you don’t have to name it at all just come closer and experience it.

Unfortunately, Scowl, who canceled their visit to Europe around this time, will not appear at Mystic Festival 2024, despite earlier announcements. Their place on the program is taken by Blood Command.

Mystic Festival will take place in Gdansk, Poland at the Gdansk Shipyard on June 5th through 8th, 2024.

Tickets are available now on the Mystic Festival homepage here More...

Aberration Premiere New Single & Music Video

Minneapolis-based death metal quartet Aberration is set to unleash their debut full-length album titled "Refracture" next month, March 22nd via Sentient Ruin. While their influences include bands like Portal, Antediluvian, and Altarage, Aberration's sound transcends these references, as evident in their latest single "Interstitial Enmity," streaming via YouTube for you now below.

Upon initial listens, it may take some time to fully grasp the intricate layers of Aberration's music. Harsh feedback intertwines with relentless riffs and drums, creating an atmosphere that feels like a sonic labyrinth. Drummer EC's precision and consistency are remarkable amidst the chaos, providing a solid foundation for the band's cacophony.
