March 20, 2009, 15 years ago
The 2009 edition of Norway's Hole In The Sky festival (Bergen Metal Fest X) is scheduled for August 26th - 29th in Bergen, Norway.
Festival organizers have issued the followng:
"We’ve said before that our 10 year anniversary will have a stronger emphasis on the Norwegian scene, highlights from previous years and black metal in general, therefore we’re immensely proud to announce the return of Bergen's own TAAKE and the brilliant bringers of ultimate darkness, Germany's NECROS CHRISTOS.Taake has been flying the flag of Norwegian black metal since the early nineties. Hailing from Bergen folk music and nature has played an important role in their musical heritage, which has been omnipresent in all their releases, from the debut Nattestid, to their recent 2008 effort Taake. The band has graced the festival with magnificent performances earlier on. We’re happy to welcome Høst and his warriors back.
Obscure and unholy death metal with a dark aura rarely experienced nowadays. Germany's Necros Christos is a rapidly growing force in the underground, yet their live performances are seldom and exclusive. Needless to say, we’re proud to have them on the bill for our 10 year anniversary. Make sure you check out their somber Triune Impurity Rites album."
Acts confirmed for the festival now include: VOIVOD, AURA NOIR, PORTRAIT, TAAKE, NECROS CHRISTOS. More bands to be announced.
