After several stormful winternights the mighty Frosthardr is back! These men from the icy North will play their black and cold metal so that you may feel the chills down your spine. With their dark, raw and Norwegian sound they will captivate their listeners like a furious blizzard!

Imagine the sounds of a desperate voice in a stormful night. A woman crying in the howling wind. That is the sound of Leonov. Behind a wall of distorted guitars and crashing cymbals you can hear the voice of a woman, full of emotion and melancholy. The members of Leonov are folks from the Sub Church so this is the chance to see Leonov play at home!

We got to know Necroblation when we first saw them at Elements of Rock in 2013. The Swiss guys made a big impression on us and now we have brought them to Norway! They have newly released a great album called Stab Your Self. Necroblation play the way we like it: brutal, catchy, fast, extreme … thrash!!!

From the west coast of Norway we have the dark and heavy Dalit. Their melodic death metal tells tales of mourning and sorrow, yet there is hope. Fat guitars, steady drums, and deep vocals bring an atmosphere of awe and wonder. Bring a tissue, a friend may shed some tears …

Nordicfest without a Finnish band would be like a cowboy without his favorite boots. So this year we give you the promising Profound Desire from the land of the thousand lakes! Progressive and melodic death-metal driven by beautiful guitarwork and interesting vocal arrangements. There are low odds for long haired and pale shirtless guys on frontrow at this gig!
Get your tickets at nordicmission while they last! We want this to be a real family reunion and looking forward to meet you all!
