The lineup for the Brainstorm Festival 2019 is complete. The last band to be added is the Italian band Nightland. The band plays symphonic death-metal and have already previously played in Apeldoorn. That show made a deep impression, so we are very happy that Nightland will present their new album with us!

Nightland is no stranger to the Netherlands anymore. After the Brainstorm Festival the band regularly played in the Dutch club circuit. The band also performed at Occultfest. Finally an extensive European tour followed as support of Fleshgod Apocalypse and Carach Angren.

Besides the arrival of Nightland, we are very happy to announce that Kristian ‘Necrolord’ Wåhlin will be exhibiting. He is of course known for the album covers he made for artists like Dissection, Extol and of course In Mourning, which can also be seen at the Brainstorm Festival. Be sure to check out his exhibition!

Brainstorm Festival was formed in the beginning of 2008 with a clear mission to enter a new era of music festivals as we know it. Brainstorm Festival is known as an independent cultural rock- and metalfestival, that provides a stage to both new talent as well as metal-dinosaurs. The festival combines hardrock with extreme metal. Besides concerts Brainstorm Festival offers a program in the theater of the club with acoustic performances, interviews, debate and competitions. Also there is an exposition taking place each year, plus a small metal-market.
