RAW EMOTION SHAPES SUFFOCATING BLACK METAL WITH FOLK INFLUENCES
The Danish black metal force Afsky collides melancholy and fury in a pitch-black blend of folk and second wave metal. At the heart of the project is Ole Luk, who masterfully weaves raw emotion into captivating melodies and a suffocating atmosphere. An Afsky live show takes the audience on a moving journey through light and darkness, approaching black metal as more than just an outlet for negativity.
Support: Mýrdal
Leipzig-based Mýrdal sound like they crawled out of an Icelandic lava cave. Expect black metal with fiery riffs and mystical spoken word. With debut Helvíti under their belts, they’re bringing the heat to EKKO.
About Doomstad:
Utrecht is already known as the music capital of the Netherlands, but could use a dose of raw energy and hellfire from time to time. Doomstad is all about the heavy and the dark—black metal, doom, sludge, stoner, drone… as long as it’s loud, intense, hypnotic, and damn good. EKKO, TivoliVredenburg, and Never Mind The Hype share a passion for this sonic niche and are determined to spread its gospel across the city.
