Basinfirefest 2024: Confirmed bands information
Rise! Cradle Of Filth is coming to Basinfire! The Suffolk pioneers have been masters of dramatic metal for over 30 years. And if Cradle Of Filth will keep making records like 2021’s Existence Is Futile, the thirteenth entry in their rich discography, their existence will certainly not be in vain. Rightly, this Brno-English formation is placed among the most important bands of the hard genre and they were definitely not to be missed on the line-up of Basinfire.
After a sold-out show at Meetfactory, Fear Factory will return to the Czech Republic for Basinfire on Wednesday 26th June – thus we are extending the festival by one night!
The change of key member and vocalist Burton C. Bell has been one of the most discussed topics in the metal scene in recent years. But the answer to the question of how the band has coped with the change is already known to the fans – perfectly! Milo Silvestro represents the new leadership of the band and is not only the rebirth of the iconic voice of C. Bell, but literally the New Messiah of this musical factory, from which emerges another set of industrial components full of modern extremes, bringing to life the soundtrack of a dystopian post-apocalyptic future.
Also joining them on Wednesday will be Toronto deathcore quintet Brand Of Sacrifice. They’ve taken their next EP Between Death and Dreams a step further again. With an even more cinematic production, highlighted by massive choruses and brutal breakdowns, the EP is an exceptional evolution of their sound. With the new EP and other fresh singles – Awaken in Ashes and Erase You – it’s clear that the band has launched another, even fresher era from which there is no turning back.
Blind Guardian, the metal messengers mixing fantasy narratives with metal music under the leadership of Hansi Kürsch, are one of the most key power metal bands and will bring their epic stories with complex musical compositions to Spálené Poříčí, thus delighting all fans of this (not only musical) genre.
These metal legends have told stories from twelve full-length albums in their nearly thirty-five-year career. The latest one, The God Machine, was released in 2022 and shows how to awaken the fury of youth to a new magical life, and Blind Guardian are more in touch with the ghosts of their own past than ever on this album.
The epic line-up will also be continued by successful medieval bards In Extremo, who boast a range of musical achievements over a quarter of a century. Their last album, Quid Pro Quo, was released in 2016. But now the unstoppable crew have released the catchy single Weckt Die Toten and are enticing fans with photos from the studio after a long wait.
The masters of Viking metal Skálmöld will take you into the heart of the Nordic sagas with their unceasing fusion of thunderous riffs, mythical stories that transcend the boundaries of time and space. After five long years, the Icelandic six-piece presents the new album Ýdalir. Their intricate compositions pay homage to ancient heroic sagas and transport the listener to a world of epic battles, majestic landscapes and unyielding bravery – and the new record is no exception. It pays homage to such gems of Norse mythology as the poem Grímnismál.
Kataklysm, a Canadian death metal band founded in 1991, has established itself as a relentless force in the extreme metal scene. Led by vocalist Maurizio Iacono, the band has a career spanning over thirty years and consistently delivers riveting and uncompromising death metal. Their technical prowess is backed up by this year’s release of Goliath, which mixes furious riffs with Iacono‘s signature growl and a full charge of aggression that is no match for anything.
The melodic death metal lineage is continued not only by Insomnium with their intimate, melancholic and dark passages, unmistakable sound and concept albums, but also by death metal legends Suffocation with their new album Hymns From The Apocrypha full of celestial envy, the destruction of mankind and divine beings deceiving mankind.
For all lovers of a modern approach (not only) to rock music, Halocene will play – these rock virtuosos, known especially for their fan-oriented work and strong social media presence, promise an energetic and charismatic show. Athens’ Suicidal Angels will provide a fresh dose of thrash with their seven studio albums – the eighth is currently on the way and beckons with the soon-to-be-released single When The Lions Die.
