Mystic Festival Announces Changes In Program
With so many bands and the festival being planned months in advance, changes are inevitable. This year Sun Dont Shine, Necrot and Health will not be able to come to Gdansk. The first two bands canceled all their participation in European festivals, while Health had to reschedule their trip to Europe.
“Unfortunately, we’ve encountered significant logistical complications beyond our control that have made our appearance impossible. We are devastated to miss this opportunity to connect with our Polish fans”, said the band's statement published on Instagram.
Kirk Windstein, one of the founders of Sun Dont Shine, also issued a special statement for you: “I (We), would like to apologize for having to cancel the June 2025 run for Sun Don’t Shine overseas. We were really looking forward to doing it but are unfortunately unprepared. Our album will not be released in time and we all have not had the opportunity to get together as much as we planned due to obligations from our other bands that we are committed to also. We will be there soon and are so sorry. We just want to deliver 100% and we feel that with the other obligations we have and the album delay, that we would not be able to”.
Luckily, we were able to find fantastic replacements for all the those who have cancelled their performances.
The Bug is Kevin Martin, well known back in the 1990s to fans of GOD, Techno Animal and Ice, genre-breaking projects in which he collaborated with Justin Broadrick of Godflesh. Later, by the time as The Bug, Kevin drifted off into dub, dubstep and hip-hop, but always remained a faithful follower of bass, heaviness and noise. No wonder his latest album, Relapse released “Machine,” is described by the label as a dub version of Swans. Are you ready to be grinded by this machine?
Ufomammut celebrated a beautiful anniversary in 2024 - 25 years of existence, 10 studio albums. It was enough to establish themselves as one of the most remarkable European representatives of that wave of heavy music, which we owe to Kyuss and Neurosis. The one that carries with it the piled-up influences of classic hard rock, and also doom, and stoner, and sludge, and psychedelia. These Italians will bring us the perfect soundtrack for space rituals.
Drab Majesty is the coldest wave - or, as they call themselves, Tragic Wave - straight out of Los Angeles. They're actually more than a band, more of a stage experiment in which Deb DeMure and Mona D ask themselves and their audience questions about identity and the nature of creativity. And at the same time, it's damn good dance music, lined with darkness and despair.
New York hardcore? That flame will never be put out. Stray From The Path fuel it with fuel drawn not only from veterans of the scene, because in the group's music you can also hear the influence of Rage Against The Machine and nu metal. They called their live album “Smash 'Em Up,” and yes, there is a legitimate concern that they will smash you up.
Employed To Serve have titled their latest album “Fallen Star” (due out April 25), but this British band's star is rising and shining brighter and brighter. The metalcore quintet perfectly balances emotionality and technique, and Justine Jones, who fronts it, keeps on cutting with her razor-like voice.
Sphere released an album titled “Blood Era” in 2022, but in fact the bloody death metal era of this Warsaw-based band has been going on for two decades. No shortcuts, no compromises - pure brutality straight from hell. And that's right, “Inferno,” Sphere's newest album, will be released later this spring.
The festival will feature, among others: King Diamond, Sepultura, In Flames, Bullet For My Valentine, Opeth, W.A.S.P., Apocalyptica, Suicidal Tendencies, Cradle Of Filth, Turbonegro, Jerry Cantrell, Blood Fire Death – A tribute to Quorthon and the Music of Bathory, Exodus, Perturbator, Jinjer, Landmvrks, Eagles Of Death Metal, The Bug, I Am Morbid – “Domination” set, Hatebreed, The Crazy World of Arthur Brown, Dark Tranquility, Tiamat, The Kovenant, Cattle Decapitation, Whitechapel, Death Angel, Elder, Municipal Waste, Polaris, Nile, Alcest, Beherit, Oranssi Pazuzu, Ufomammut, Midnight, Vader - "Litany" set, Imminence, Paleface Swiss, Eyehategod, Halocene, Green Lung, Pentagram, Combichrist and Skeletal Remains.
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...

Employed To Serve Reveals New Album Details
Today, Employed To Serve officially announce their fourth album, "Conquering," their most metal offering yet. The record will be their second full-length record to be released via Spinefarm and is due to drop on September 17th 2021. The band has also released a new music video for the song, "Exit," which can be seen below.
"Conquering," is a fully realised metamorphosis into the band they’ve always wanted to be. Drawing influence from the music of their youth and a new perspective on how to nurture the positive aspects of humanity and individual growth, Conquering is a celebration and acknowledgement of triumph in the face of a world that can be relentlessly adversarial.
Employed To Serve frontwoman Justine Jones says, "'Conquering' is about rising above adversity and self-doubt. We're really excited to share our latest album, I feel it's our best work to date. We wanted to go a more metal orientated direction with this album and see how far we could push our musical capabilities."
Meanwhile, first single "Exist" arrives like a call to arms.
"'Exist' is a song that celebrates the highs and lows of existing," says Justine Jones. "For this video I really wanted to capture the excitement of being a pre-teen and discovering the absolute joy that is music. I loved the idea of getting into someone's head at that time and them daydreaming about being on stage with the band you love, like we did when we were that age and recently in the past year when we couldn't play shows!"
Justine continues; "It took 6 months of planning due to the pandemic and because we had to source someone who could create one-off figures of each band member. We were lucky enough to come across Mattachine Society from Brooklyn, who creates awesome bootlegs. For the model stage and backline, Sammy and I channelled our inner Art Attack and made that during the winter lockdown to keep our minds from the apocalypse.
"When having meetings about how to dress the set and actors, we wanted to shout out as many of our mates' bands as possible and leave little Easter eggs for people to find with each re-watch of the video.
"The most important aspect of the video for me was finding a young energetic girl to play the really stoked kid. When I was growing up, metal was a very male dominated genre and I always felt a bit out of place. I feel that this is a different story now with so many women in bands, working in the industry and in the crowd, it's becoming normalised which is really exciting." More...
Employed To Serve Posts New Music Video Online
British metal outfit Employed To Serve has released a brand new single entitled "Party’s Over" via Spinefarm Records. You can check out the music video for the song below.
A band that knows no way to go other than hard, the message of the track is equally hard-hitting. ETS vocalist Justine Jones explains; "'Party’s Over' is about the fast decay of the unsustainable world we live in. Frustratingly, despite our best efforts, the quest for a sustainable way of living feels hopeless due to what humanity deems a birth right rather than a luxury. What we think we need in order to live just does not seem compatible with our eco system, making me feel like we’re aliens that have taken the planet hostage."
"Party’s Over" will be made available on red & blue 7” vinyl (limited to 500, never to be repressed), alongside a reworked version of "Harsh Truth" ft. Drew Dijorio of Stray From The Path
