Blastfest 2016 - A One Time Only Celebration Of The Norwegian Metal Scene!
Blastfest 2016 – A One Time Only Celebration Of The Norwegian Metal Scene!
You heard it! Blastfest 2016 will be celebrating its national metal scene and will boast a lineup that will be 100% Norwegian. Has that even been done before?
It’s hard to imagine how when the first ever Blastfest took place in Bergen in 2014 organisers were going to beat the lineup that had been assembled. But, 2015 smashed its predecessor out of the park with bands such as Watain, Satyricon, A…

The first band launch for Blastfest 2016 is done!
If you’re In The Woods and in the woods, and there’s no one else around and a tree falls, would anyone hear the tree fall? Well, the answer is probably 42, so let’s just get on with it: the point is that we have gotten hold of a band oozing psychedelia throughout all eras of their career: In The Woods. The band has stood out by progressing immensely through their active years. They started out in the black metal vein with “Isle of Men”, presented extreme metal extraordinaire with ”Heart Of Ages”, and before calling it a day released “Three Times Seven On A Pilgrimage” where the band even included their own takes on King Crimson, Pink Floyd, and Jefferson Airplane. 2016 sees In The Woods back on stage, and better than ever, at Blastfest!
Feeling empty, feeling full of despair, feeling sad and gloomy? No worries, we’ll patch you up paradoxically with the flagship of Norwegian doom metal, Funeral. Pioneers of the funeral doom genre, the creators of such masterpieces as “Tragedies” and “From These Wounds”, and probably the only band to lyrically address the neurological condition tardive dyskinesia (involuntary, repetitive body movements). Funeral will definitely bring you a solid dose of tristesse. “La tristesse durera toujours.” Pft! Blastfest 2016 cures everything, Vincent!
Varden tennes, Kari Bremnes! We hereby welcome Khold to the Blastfest 2016 lineup. Since their formation in 2000 they have been devoted to parsimony in their musical expression, and are almost the equivalent of Occam’s razor as applied to black metal; groove and the good riff is in the main agenda here, not a bunch of gothic dresses and cheap synths. Their lyrics are also noteworthy, mainly written in their native Norwegian tongue, and written by the bands “fifth member”, Hildr, wife of vocalist and guitarist Gard. Recently the band released their sixth album, “Til Endes”, and we are really looking forward to hear that material in a live setting here in Bergen. Blastfest: der kulden rår!
