Mystic Festival 2027: Genre carousel and gothic shadows. Paradise Lost and Igorrr Added To Line-up

Mystic Festival 2027: Genre carousel and gothic shadows. Paradise Lost, Igorrr, Annisokay and Nekrogoblikon are the next four names to join the Mystic Festival line-up.

Paradise Lost

A metal that’s heavy, but not too speedy, with melodies covered in shades of gothic and a focus on building an irresistible ambience rather than building up to a final round knockout – that’s a British invention that back in the 90s conquered the world. Paradise Lost were the pioneers and leaders of that scene – and were the only ones to remain unperturbed by the changing times, reinventing themselves a couple of times. Over a decade ago, they returned to their death/doom metal roots to remind everyone with each subsequent album – including last year’s Ascension – whose house this is. Paradise Lost will perform in Gdansk on June 11.

Igorrr

When asked what genres he’d like to combine in his sound, Gautier Serre said “Oui!”. The French composer, producer, multi-instrumentalist and visionary clashes diametric opposed extremes into each other in his work as Igorrr – baroque music with futuristic breakcore, extreme metal with triphop fade out, folk with techno. And even if, as Gautier admitted, the song “ADHD” from Igorrr’s latest record has autobiographical background, it must be added that there’s an order in this chaos. Igorrr will welcome you into his world on June 12.

Annisokay

Only a decade ago, the German metal scene had the reputation as one of the most conservative out there. It got refurbished, however, by the metalcore revolution, and one of the country’s vanguard bands behind it is Annisokay. They can balance post-hardcore fieriness and metal guitar heaviness with melodies expressing the most difficult of emotions. The juxtaposition portrayed on the cover art of their latest album, Abyss – The Final Chapter, perfectly enculturates the spirit of their sound. Annisokay will perform on June 10.

Nekrogoblikon

The California-based band Nekrogoblikon is a one-of-a-kind creature. For two decades now, they’ve combined the absolutely serious, technically advanced, ass-kicking melodic death metal with absurd humour. Among their band members, you’ll find a green goblin – as fans will know, going by the name of John Goblikon – who will make sure that theirs is a concert you’ll never forget. Don’t forget also to come by the stage on June 10.

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