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.

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.
