Mystic Festival Adds Midnight To 2025 Lineup
Happy New Year! May this whole year be willed with experiences as unforgettable as the shows of Turbonegro, Municipal Waste, Midnight and Absu that you are all cordially invited to this June in Gdansk.
Turbonegro
Hello, party animals! Are you ready for apocalyptic punk’n’roll? The legend of Turbonegro was born at the end of the 80s and in the following decade, its tale reached more and more pairs of ears, in part thanks to Norwegian black metal stars naming the Scandinavian Leather creators as one of their biggest sources of inspiration. Provocative lyrics, offensive humour, hymn-like choruses and captivating live shows – these are the trademarks of this cult band. We’re sure that Happy-Tom, in his sailor’s uniform, will take to our stage like a duck to water…
Municipal Waste
Turbonegro’s challenge certainly will be answered by the Americans of Municipal Waste, who kicked the art of partying into a higher gear and made crossover thrash great again. They formed at the beginning of the century and ever since they’ve been dropping shard-sharp riffs and refrains that make you pump your fists into the air without even thinking. Come and join the tango by the stage – black tie optional, but helmets, suspensors and mouthguards may come in handy.
Midnight
Black/speed metal bastard child from Cleveland, Ohio. They have Venom blood running in their veins and running in their bloodstream – an extract from these old-school speed and thrash metal records that never had even a single radio ballad on their tracklists. “Expect Total Hell,” the opening track of their latest record, Hellish Expectations, is an apt description of the kind of concert you can expect from Midnight, but there are also others equally to the point, for example “Fucking Speed and Darkness” or “You Can’t Stop Steel.” There will be no creating ambience, there will be no time to take a breath. Just metal and even more metal.
Absu
The legend from Texas is coming back. They’ve played death metal, and black metal, and thrash metal, but really, they’ve always made their own unique music – Mythological Occult Metal. Going against the current, paying no mind to trends or what others were doing. 2025 marks the 30th anniversary of the release of Absu’s sophomore album, The Sun of Tiphareth, a momentous occasion the band is planning to celebrate on stage. Proscriptor McGovern remains the brains behind the band and in this new iteration of Absu, he is joined by the full line-up of the equally iconic Greek band Zemial. More...

Cannibal Corpse Brutalises The Bristol Beacon
When it comes to death metal, there are thousands of imitators and generic clones, but there are those who sit upon its thrones, daring anyone to take their place. Since their first album, "Eaten Back To Life," was released in 1990, Cannibal Corpse has been standing tall, achieving commercial and critical success for three and over four decades, despite bans, censorship and smear campaigns. In 2024, this is as true as ever and the Buffalo born quintet are as determined as ever to keep their crown and are currently proving this with a huge tour of Europe, that includes fellow veterans and the young & hungry. On September 25th, they brought the tour to the beautiful Beacon venue (formerly the Colston Hall) in Bristol.
It may have been an early kick off, but there was certainly no lack of excitement for those who arrived early, as Belgian death metallers Schizophrenia opened proceedings. Having released their debut album in 2022, they're still relative newcomers, though they perform with the precision and cohesiveness of veterans. It's an interesting time to see Schizophrenia, as they've just released a live album, so comparing the release to the real thing is quite fun, in particular when it comes to their cover of Slayer's "Necrophiliac," which is included on the live record. There seems to be something of a resurgence in the popularity of old school death metal among younger bands, which is cool to see, and Schizophrenia take that formula and like many of their best contemporaries, modernise it just enough to make it fresh. A great way to start the show. More...
