New bands for MetalDays 2023.
German thrash metal pioneers DESTRUCTION have been added to
the MetalDays 2023 lineup, and we couldn’t be more excited. With a career
spanning over four decades, the band has cemented themselves as one of the most
influential acts in the genre. Their blistering riffs, lightning-fast solos,
and aggressive vocals have earned them a dedicated following and influenced
countless other metal bands.
CRYPTOSIS is a Dutch progressive thrash metal band. With their unique sound and
concept-driven approach, CRYPTOSIS is quickly becoming a rising force in the metal
scene.
But that’s not all – we have added another package of bands
from Slovenia and the region to the lineup, including BLACKOUTT (SLO, Instrumental
Grunge Stoner Rock), DIAMOND DUST (HR, Heavy/Thrash Metal), EXTREME SMOKE 57
(SLO, Grindcore), GORAGORJA (SLO, Sludge, Post, Dark Metal), IN HEAVEN (SLO,
Depressioncore), KAOZ (SLO, Thrash, Groove, Nu metal), SPIRITS OF STYGIA (SLO,
Deathcore).
With such a stacked lineup, MetalDays 2023 promises to be one of the most
exciting metal festivals of the year.
