Grind Masters Napalm Death And Doom Legends YOB Added To Mystic Festival

Napalm Death and Yob stand at the two opposing ends of the heaviness spectrum, and Henge and 802 will take you on a journey into the unknown – deep into outer space or back in time, whatever you prefer. Only in June, in Gdansk, at Mystic Festival.

Napalm Death

Can noise change the world? We’re not entirely sure, but respect Napalm Death, nonetheless, for their continuous efforts to prove otherwise. At the beginning of the 80s, they created grind and they’ve been perfecting it ever since, moving along the spectrum with hardcore at one end, industrial at the other, and death metal somewhere in the middle. Brutal sounds and visceral lyrics are their weapons of choice in their fight against bigotry, xenophobia, omnivorous corporations and dirty politicians. These pioneers and masters of truly extreme music will perform at Mystic Festival on June 12.

Yob

Darkness and heaviness will be heralded from Oregon by the cult trio Yob. Since releasing their debut album Elaboration of Carbon a quarter of a century ago, they’ve given their blood, sweat and tears and worked in the cacophony of distorted guitars to make their name as one of the most important doom metal players of today. They’ve found a way to blend the vulgar rawness of primal riffs with an invitation to entrancing, fascinating journeys that have no beginning and no end. Yob will roll over you on June 12.

Henge

Earth, over! Henge is landing, they come in peace. This cosmic four-piece, with its docking station on Earth in Manchester, specialises in the intergalactic escapades that run on a high-octane mixture of acid rock, electronic, psychedelic and funk. They’ve been cooking a new record, to be released in January, entitled HUMANS, and so our race is not entirely alien to them… Henge will land in Gdansk on June 12.

802

For years now, the Danish scene has mesmerised with its vibrancy, diversity and quality, the spectacular and fluorescent proof of which is the trio 802. The band combines heavy metal and thrash riffs with glam rock bravado, shoegaze fog and synthpop melodies that, back in the 80s, had their spot at the top of the charts. 802 are what you’d get if Spinal Tap ever visited the Stranger Things universe. Get ready for them on June 12.

Mystic Festival 2027 will take place in Gdansk, Letnica, Poland from June 10 to 12.
