King Diamond Dazzled Mystic Festival On Day Two
All morning long, I was fighting exhaustion from the marathon of bands I covered yesterday. The upside was that I knew that it was going to be a lighter load today in regard to the number bands I wanted to check out. The rain forecast appeared to be hit or miss during the festival hours, so that was another bonus. The first band that I was going to see wouldn’t take place until early evening so that freed up my afternoon to wander the Motlawa riverbanks that serpentine through the middle of Gdansk.
Last year, there was a lot of construction on the banks of the river, limiting how far you could walk, but now it was finished and that made it possible to see more of the sights. I’m not going to give you breakdown of the shops, restaurants, etc. because this report is about Mystic Festival itself. However, if you ever think of attending Mystic Festival you should know that Gdansk is a really picturesque city and that’s a bonus if you decide to go to this underrated festival. There’s more to do and look at other than just tents and trees.
I arrived at the festival grounds a few minutes before the first band of the day, Hatebreed. Love them or hate them, they’ve been around for several decade. They must be doing something right eh? With the intro music of Quiet Riot’s “Bang Your Head” blaring from the PA, I looked around and saw an excited crowd patiently waiting for the metalcore legends to take the stage. After the show started, the crowd was vocal every time Jamey Jasta walked to the front of the stage waved his arms towards the crowd. I think he’s more popular here in Gdansk than the local resident, Nergal from Behemoth. I’m serious!
This was my first ever Hatebreed show so I was pleasantly surprised that there were some pyrotechnics involved. Fire is always a bonus! I recognized some of the songs in their set, mainly “I Will Be Heard” and “Perseverance.” I felt complete after hearing those songs and was now headed to see another 90’s band that is still going strong today, Opeth.

Jamey Jasta of Hatebreed
I saw Opeth a couple of years ago here at Mystic Festival and I wondered what the big deal was about this band. Like In Flames, this is one of those bands that started out really heavy and became more mainstream over time. I wasn’t a fan of them at the peak of their popularity and nothing’s changed since then. They’re super talented but the music and live show does nothing for me and this is the last time I’ll ever report on them. I can only report that they had some cool stage props to look at.
Opeth playing “§1”
The next band on my list could care less about what anyone thinks about them. It’s a DGAF attitude and it’s what makes Eyehategod such a fun band to see live. They secrete that N.O.L.A. trademark sludgy sound on every stage they infect. After what seemed like 5 minutes of screeching feedback, they erupted into “Agitation! Propaganda!” and never looked back throughout the remainder of their set.

Death Angel To Play Mystic Festival In 2025
Thrash, sludge, industrial metal and other plagues… Death Angel, Health, Eyehategod and Halocene confirm their participation in the upcoming edition of Mystic Festival.
Death Angel
We diligently bring thrash legends to the Mystic Festival stages – a genre which joins fans of classic metal variants with the zealots of the extreme. In 2025, we will host Death Angel, whose two first, perfect records – The Ultra-Violence and Frolic Through the Park – are inscribed into the genre’s canon. They have been looking for their identity also in different landscapes, but the blade of Death Angel’s music still cuts mercilessly, evidence of which can be found on their latest studio album Humanicide (2019) as well as on the two-year junior live album The Bastard Tracks. If that’s how they will play in Gdansk, ye should be prepared for ultra-violence.
Health
Visions made famous by science fiction films translated into the idiom of music. Dark, pessimistic, dystopic visions, we should add. They started out touring with Nine Inch Nails, and on their latest record, Rat Wars, they have a song featuring Godflesh. Their music is equally good a fit for a metal music festival, club dancefloor, and video games, the best evidence of which is their Max Payne 3 soundtrack or contributions to the GTA V and Cyberpunk 2077 soundtracks.
Eyehategod
Even if you inhaled toxic fumes from the swamps of Louisiana since the cradle… you still wouldn’t be able to play like that, for Eyehategod is truly a one of a kind band. They are pioneers and kings of sludge metal from a time when it hadn’t yet crossed anyone’s mind to call by such a name this disgusting mixture of thrash, doom and hardcore with a little seasoning of blues. During their set, you will learn that metal does not mean a fun time – metal means suffering.
Halocene
The band was formed in Phoenix, Arizona, but its real place of origin is the world wide web. It is one of these internet phenomena which through their online activity – in this case, Twitch live shows consisting of mostly covers, not necessarily of songs of the extreme pedigree – built a fan following and then proved their worth with original material and fantastic concerts. You can expect absolutely everything during their live gig, but above all – amazing energy.
Mystic Festival will take place in Gdansk, Poland at the Gdansk Shipyard on June 4th through 7th, 2025.
Tickets are available now on the Mystic Festival homepage here More...

Eyehategod Teams With Church Of Misery In London
When it comes to tours, everyone loves a good pairing. It's always a treat to see one of your favourite bands, but if they come to town with another awesome group, then it makes the tour even more appealing. This is the case when it comes to the current European tour headlined by Eyehategod, New Orleans' answer to the question, "What if Black Sabbath and Discharge were locked in a room together?", who are currently stomping across the continent with Japanese serial killer historians Church Of Misery. Add returning English band Hang The Bastard to the mix and the show at the Dome in Tufnell Park, North London was irresistible, as evidenced by the fact that the show sold out.
Opening the show was recently reactivated London outfit Hang The Bastard. It's been nine years since their last album, "Sex In The Seventh Circle" but their fan base are as thrilled to see them as ever. Mixing doom and sludge metal with hardcore aggression, Hang The Bastard immediately grabbed everyone's attention with their combination of riffs and breakdowns. It was a little hard for the more metal orientated fans to fully enjoy themselves, thanks to the tank on two legs swirling around the floor performing the most rhythmless spin kicks you've ever seen, creating a significant gap which the crowd were reluctant to fill, but nevertheless, it's fair to say that no one in attendance was disappointed by the music itself. The band has tremendous energy and this comeback will no doubt win over plenty of fans. More...

Desertfest UK 2022: Day 3
There's no feeling more bittersweet than the last day of a good festival. On the one hand, you know that you've still got another day of fun ahead, but on the other, it's back to the real world tomorrow and all that goes with it. If it's time to go though, it's best to do it in style and so it was that the final day was spent entirely at The Roundhouse, a beautiful venue a little further away from the others in Camden, but well worth the small trip. It's hosted so many legendary bands over its history and has been the setting for live albums from such bands as Kreator, Opeth, X-Ray Spex and Paradise Lost to name a few. There really was no better place to experience the atmosphere and spirit of Desertfest, which by now has become as important in the doom fans' calendar as Roadburn.
While there were of course many upset fans when it was revealed that The Obsessed were unable to perform, the announcement of Dvne as their replacement was met with a great deal of excitement. Promoting their latest album, "Etemen Ænka," it was easy to see why people were so fascinated to see them. The band are hard to pin down, taking elements of doom, progressive and post metal and creating a soundscape which borders on the ethereal. Despite having two albums under their belt, it seemed to be only songs from the aforementioned "Etemen Ænka" on display, which didn't seem to bother their fans at all, who were lost in the atmosphere created by the Edinburgh quintet. If you're interested in music that paints a picture, then Dvne should definitely be on your list. More...

Diamond Oz Presents: The Best Of 2021
Well... This was another eventful year wasn't it!? In yet another twelve months dominated by political issues, a global pandemic, hatred, division and injustice, all the ingredients were there for metal music to have plenty to tuck into. Musically, 2021 was a solid year with some superb offerings from bands all over the world, including some wonderful debuts and returns. However, before we get to the best of the brutal, it's only right that we acknowledge those who have left us since January.
How I Wish You Were Here
Sadly, 2021 has seen some of metal's most beloved leave us. From teenage favourites to cult heroes and those who weren't on stage but still made an impact, metal was left poorer for such losses. Entombed/Entombed A.D. vocalist Lars Goran Petrov, one of Swedish death metal's most recognisable and favourite voices succumbed to bile duct cancer aged only 49 in March, with three more singers following him into the aether in June in the shapes of Skid Row's Johnny Solinger, Sven Gross of Fleshcrawl and John Lawton of Lucifer's Friend/Uriah Heep. Only a month later, former Slipknot drummer Joey Jordison, himself an inspiration for so many of today's young drummers, passed away at the age of 46. The COVID-19 virus also claimed a legend in former Trouble singer Eric Wagner, who died at 62, just before a scheduled tour with his band, The Skull.
As sad as death always is, some felt particularly tragic this year, including the suicide of ex Metal Church singer Mike Howe, who initially spent eight years with the band between the eighties and nineties, before returning to the fold in 2015, recording two more studio albums with the seminal group. The metal world was also affected by terrorism, when vocalist Andrea Haugen was killed in the Kongsberg this past October.
Behind the stage, some of our most important figures would also pass on, including Malcolm Dome, the British journalist credited with coining the term "thrash metal," who was a walking encyclopedia of metal knowledge, appearing in numerous documentaries and penning several books on some of metal and rock's greatest icons. Early on in the year, we also said goodbye to Megaforce co-founder Marsha Zazula, who was responsible for signing so many of the most revered names in thrash, as well as Mick Rock, an iconic photographer who captured some of the best shots of such names as Ozzy, Motley Crue and Thin Lizzy to name a few.

Gwar Announces Tour With Napalm Death & Eyehategod
Human Scum, have you received your 5G chip implan-...we mean 'vaccine' yet? Now that you've gotten your shot in the arm, Gwar will give you a shot in the mouth (of spew) this fall as they return to the road in North America.
The first part of the Scumdogs 30th Anniversary Tour will kick off September 16 with a show in the band’s adopted hometown of Richmond, VA and will run through September 19 in Pittsburgh, PA and also includes a stop at RiotFest.

The band then returns to the road October 28 in Norfolk, VA and will criss-cross this mudball planet through December 13 in Washington, DC. Support will come from the legendary Napalm Death and again Eyehategod.
Gwar will also make an appearance at this year’s Welcome To Rockville festival. A complete list of tour dates can be found below. Pre-sales start tomorrow, June 17, and the general on-sale is this Friday, June 18.
"We’ve been saving it up, and we are ready to explode all over the face of this nation with a dazzling flood of chaotic shock rock load. But don’t even try to come to a show on this tour unless you are unvaccinated, covid positive and willing to submit to an enthusiastic rectal temperature check at the hands of our degenerate road crew," says lead throat thing The Berserker Blóthar More...
