Our friends at Nordic Mission are back with a new edition of their own metal festival, Nordic Fest will be held 28th. October 2023 and the place is as usual in Sub Scene, Oslo downtown, Norway. They checked in with the following:

Nordicfest is coming up!…

These past weeks we had to make a serious decision concerning this year’s Nordic Fest.

In the spring time we were enthusiastic and made an optimistic budget based on the good ol’ glory festival times. However, we had too much going on and were late with band announcements, ticket sales and most importantly: PROMOTION!

So should we just CANCEL Nordic Fest this year? It might have been an easier thing to do since the risk was too high with the current line-up, but at the same time a decision we really did not want to make. Instead, we give you a one-day festival on the 28th of October. There will be 4 bands on stage: WYTCH HAZEL from the UK, MORGARTEN from Switzerland, CRIMSON MOONLIGHT from Sweden and Norway’s fresh new doom metal band ZEBULON.

WE WILL NOT YIELD!

We still lack bands for a full program, so we’re cutting the festival down to one day, Saturday only. Tune in at our YouTube channel on Saturday.

The live stream will be FREE and accessible globally for everyone and start at 6 PM CET on Saturday! There will also be a stream with Spanish translation available.

Due to COVID-19 blowing up like crazy in Oslo, we are saddened by the news that Cloth, Flukt and Dalit can’t play at NF this year. Luckily, Renascent was able to play, and we’re super excited!

In addition to the 4 bands, we’ll also talk about our past and future releases as well as answer questions. We have more stuff planned, but for that you will have to wait and see..

It is time to gather the FAMILY again! As all of you know making plans for the future became hard with this blasted virus, but the skull grinding metal train that is Nordic Fest, will not be stopped by negative thinking and worst-case scenarios. So….

We are proud to invite you ALL to the 14th edition of Nordic Fest. For the first time the festival can be experienced from your living room, as we are producing a 5-camera livestream with professional sound and picture. This is to welcome the entire extended Nordic Fest and Nordic Mission family to the venue we all hold close to our hearts: Sub Scene in downtown Oslo.

The stream will be available via our YouTube channel and is free to watch. With the help of Exodo Fest in Mexico and Die X Live in Chile, the streamed festival will also be available to Latin America, with some Spanish subtitles. Not only will the festival have bands playing, there will also be a live studio between the show including reports, interviews and greetings from the scene, news from Nordic Mission and a grand ending with the celebration of the Holy Communion. Be ready with wine and bread!

We will ask humbly for donations during and after the streamed festival. We accept PayPal, Vipps (Norway), Swish (Sweden) and Mercado Pago (Mexico). The money will help cover the production of this festival as well as helping the future of both Nordic Fest and Nordic Mission.

And Jr Rife interviewed the band and asked them about their past, their reunion and the re-release of their 1994 album “Ascension.” The interview can be watched in the video below.

Nordic Mission is VERY proud and happy to announce that GROMS (God Rules Over My Soul) will play at this year’s NordicFest in Oslo, Norway!

This is a dream come true, since GROMS was among the very pioneers of Christian Extreme Metal in Norway and Europe, playing their pure heavy oldschool death metal.
GROMS released their only album “Ascension” in 1994, and the band has not performed live or even met together since 1996!That is also why it was a hard task finding a crisp picture of these fantastic musicians. Do NOT miss this!

Nordicfest will be held in Oslo, Norway from 1-2nd of November. Other bands playing are: War of Ages (USA), Drottnar (NOR), Hortor (MEX), Opus Irae (GER), Antidemon (BRA), The Weakening (SWE) and Sawol (FIN). Continue reading »
