The best gig at the festival!! Everyone went crazy and even the photopit was packed by band folks from backstage and a couple of most die hard fans. Truly a show to remember and the new line-up is a killer!!:D Didn´t have that much lights to play with but here´s what ever I managed to get
“The Canadian outfit known as Blasphemy was formed in 1984 in Burnaby, BC.. They are known for creating a small sub-genre known as “war metal”. Each member does not go by their real name, but use ‘’ritual’‘-style titles instead. Blasphemy is considered a black metal band, and while the guitar riffs/solos and blast beat drumming certainly fit the black metal mold, the vocals and general instrumentation are more death metal derived, similar to Von or Sarcófago. They are recognized as being one of the first, if not THE first, band to play black metal in Canada, at a time when few metal scenes around the world had even heard of black metal”– LastFM
Line-Up: Nocturnal Grave Desecrator and Black Winds – Bass / 3 Black Hearts of Damnation and Impurity – Drums / Caller of the Storms – Guitars / DeathLörd of Abomination & War Apocalypse – Guitars
“Founded in Stockholm, Sweden in 2010. They play a hybrid of Death/Thrash/Black metal in the vein of classic bands such as Bathory, Hellhammer, Sarcofago, Tormentor and Masters Hammer.”
Didn´t find any clips from Black Harvest, so sharing one from a previous gig in Stockholm and a couple from their demo Ancient Bell Chimes
[Edit way later: added the “Sadistic Fornication” vid from 2018 because my pics from this gig]
Black metal band born in 2001 from Gainesville, Florida. Their first full-length album, Et In Saecula Saeculorum, was released in 2006 by Ajna Offensive.
Line-up: Nameless Void – Guitar, Vocals / Bestial Devotion – Drums, Backing vocals / D.G. – Bass

From the Dust Returned: “Every so often, a band will come along and give an established genre a firm kick in the ass by breaking it down into its constituent elements and producing a distinct work that hearkens back to a time of ‘innocence’ for that niche. I realize it’s hard to use that word ‘innocence’ in conjunction with the black metal medium, pretty much the antithesis of that particular virtue.”
“YOB, as with all things that actually matter, there is only one. They have built their temple with a foundation concreted in absolute truth. The truth is the riffs, the truth is in the delivery, it’s in the unwavering commitment, and in the handshake and the look in their eyes. If you don’t know them, then you are fucking up your own lifes’ truth.” – Scott Kelly, NEUROSIS
