CORPSESSED – Steelfest 17/5 2024
Death from Järvenpää, Finland since 2007
Not bad at all! Would go and see again if possible.
“Abyssal and Harrowing DEATH METAL; a combination of suffocating and crushing DOOM METAL, ghastly ominousness of BLACK METAL and HORROR Movie soundtracks, weaving it all within the style of Rotting early 90s style DEATH METAL, especially in the Finnish tradition….
This is what CORPSESSED are all about, a 5-piece band spawned from putrescent slime in 2007 in Järvenpää/Finland” – Corpsessed Bandcamp

INFERNO – Steelfest 17/5 2024
Needs more listening. So far I´ve only heard the latest album Paradeigma (Phosphenes of Aphotic Eternity). Sounds promising!
“INFERNO came into existence 1995 in the Czech Republic, with first demo offerings “Peklo Na Zemi” (1996) and “Temná Poselství Dávných Předků” (1997) gaining significant acclaim in the Czech scene and beyond, opening many possibilities within the Black Metal underground.” – debemur-morti.com

CHAMBER OF UNLIGHT – Steelfest 17/5 2024
Allstar blackmetal combo from Tampere, Finland.
Formed in 2016 and all the guys are involved in several bands & projects since forever. Good stuff.
“CHAMBER OF UNLIGHT began as the solo work of multi-instrumentalist Necrosis. The man stands as a prolific veteran of Finland’s esteemed extreme metal landscape; during the past 20 years, his credits include Deathchain, Ajattara, Shade Empire, and Trollheims Grott. Joined by drummer Kassara – himself an equally prolific Finnish veteran whose credits likewise include Deathchain and Trollheims Grott but also Horna, Bythos, Forgotten Horror, Striges, and Black Death Ritual among others – CHAMBER OF UNLIGHT released their self-titled debut demo in 2017.

CADAVERIC INCUBATOR – Steelfest 17/5 2024
Necroterror Oinonen, Pentele @ Noisehunter = CADAVERIC INCUBATOR. Great gig and the guys (And the crowd. And the photographers xD) totally defied the sun & the heat. There are always 2 sides to great weather:) Also couldn´t get the lights right in many of the pics so not so many of them.
“Cadaveric Incubator was formed in 2005 by Necroterror (bass/vocals) and Humiliator (guitar/vocals) with the help of various drummers who came and went during the band’s first incarnation, which lasted around two years. The aim was to create old-school disgusting sounds influenced by early Carcass, Repulsion, Autopsy, early Xysma, Mortician, Blood, the early Mexican Disgorge, and such. No fun and no political garbage usually associated with the more grinding side of things – just raw, filthy brutality and total death!” – hellsheadbangers.com

GORGOROTH – Steelfest 16/5 2024

As an extra treat: THE legendary Krakow gig from 2004.

ANTIMATERIA – Steelfest 16/5 2024
As I probably have mentioned before, the “atmospheric” stuff could be whatever, but when it´s good, it´s really good. And this is an awesome band! Just heard that they may come over to Sweden for a couple of gigs in the spring (-25). New album coming up also. First single below the live clips.
Very few pictures. Very very foggy on stage.
