Contra Proudly Presents: Accept’s legendary vocalist Udo Dirkschneider is coming to BOOGALOO ZAGREB for the first time on February 25, 2025 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the cult album “Balls to the Wall”.
DIRKSCHNEIDER will add other surprises to the setlist with the 45-minute *Balls to the Wall*—which includes legendary songs like the title track, “London Leatherboys,” “Love Child” and the closing ballad “Winterdreams”—and will perform it all with a new production. Everything is ready to celebrate the 40th anniversary of this historic album and to create an unforgettable tour for every metalhead.

After a string of triumphant performances in South America, where Marko Hietala joined Tarja as a special guest for several sold-out concerts, the dynamic duo is now set to wow European audiences with their stunning collaborative performance.
The European tour, which kicks off in Germany in September, promises to be an unforgettable experience as these two renowned voices reunite on stage.
Tarja recently released her first greatest hits album titled “Best of Tarja – Living the Dream”. The concert will feature a selection of songs from her career, including fan favorites and her personal selections, which are also featured on the Best Of album.
Adding to the excitement is Tarja and Marko’s recent collaboration on the duet single ´Left On Mars´, which has received widespread acclaim and further cemented their status as musical icons.
Marko will perform his songs with his band before joining Tarja on stage for what promises to be an unforgettable evening.
Expectations are high as the duo continues to delight fans with both old and new songs, building on the success of their South American tour.

Sediment began in the winter of 2018 when a group of friends decided to play dirty death metal, inspired by the extreme cold of Quebec City, Canada. They soon released a four-song home-made demo, which was praised by critics, which quickly attracted the attention of record labels around the world.
They then recorded several split 7” releases, played everywhere, and in 2022 released their first full-length album “Suppuration morphogénésiaque”. This was a heavy return to the past, imbued with the influence of scandi and English OSDM bands. Punchy rhythms, unbearably slow parts and unusual Finnish-style riffs blend perfectly on this album of modern death metal with a production that is neither too clean nor too dirty, but has just the right amount of chaos to give the record an ominous vibe. Now they are ready to take the stage and crush skulls all over the world, which leads them to the premiere performance in Močvara.

𝗃𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 have also been on the road to despair since 2018. They will soon release their debut demo “Infesticide”, and soon the underground will take an interest in their work, releasing several releases, of which “Persecution of the Living” is certainly the crowning achievement. The band has a sound that effortlessly synthesizes every bit of the darkness of the late 80s, when this genre was everything we still love to hear today. Influences from Morbid Angel, the Swedish buzzsaw scene with a pinch of Repulsione are something these young men carry in their hearts. If you like OSDM that reeks of the not-so-distant past, then this is the ride for you.

Met is a Zagreb death/doom metal band formed on the initiative of fans of the genre as a result of long-standing friendship between the members who played in numerous Croatian bands. Already in its first year of existence, the band recorded the full-length album “Infra” where it sets a clear stylistic direction and creative path that they intend to follow. Lewd and evil harmonies, a dark funeral slur contrasted with sharp death metal riffs and occasional blasts guarantee a decrepit, harsh atmosphere and, above all, the putrid smell of a grave. Here we meet members of 𝗣𝘀𝘂𝗱-𝗮, 𝗝𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗮 𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗷𝗲, 𝗤𝗮𝘃𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗷𝗲𝗻 𝗶𝘁𝗱.

𝗞𝗮’𝗿𝗮𝗵 have slowly and surely made their way around Zagreb and the surrounding area. They have just recorded their first tracks, which are slowly and surely transforming them into a monstrous mix of death and thrash metal. Their energy is fierce, and they will present us with new tracks and old hits. This is what Chuck Schuldiner’s band would sound like if he woke up in Črnomerec one day and started making fucked-up riffs.

𝗚𝘂𝘁𝘀𝘄𝗮𝗺𝗽 is a young Zagreb death metal quintet. The foundation of their sound is everything that is rotten and evil, from belching Danish and Finnish bands to the disappearing blasts of American brutal death metal bands. Here you will see some of the members of Vaktalo and Emberam. The band has been around since the end of 2023 and this is their first swamp performance. No official recordings for now! Just rot and death.

𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗶𝘂𝗺 is a death metal five-piece from Koprivnica formed in mid-2023. The sound style is characterized by a combination of modern and traditional. The band celebrates its one-year anniversary with this concert while the album “Abomination of Flesh” is in the process of being recorded, which you will have the opportunity to hear at the place where this dark journey began.

𝗜𝗻 𝗗𝗮𝗸𝗵𝗺𝗮 is a brand new modern old-school variation on the death metal theme. We’ve started in earnest, videos, the first album “He Who Sows the Ground” and now the gigs are starting! The album is inspired by metal bands like Entombed, Bloodbath, Cannibal Corpse, Alkaloid, Gojira, Opeth and Morbid Angel combined with doom-inspired low guitar tones. Lyrically, it explores the meaning and concepts of life and death. So, never better! Another swamp premiere!

A great black metal spectacle is being prepared on Saturday, May 10th at Boogaloo! On this occasion, the masters of Norwegian blackness will be presented to the Croatian audience for the first time: 1349! They will be joined on the European “The Wolf and the King” tour by three other great bands: the German The Ruins of Beverast, the American Vitriol and the Swedish Sarcator. Early bird tickets for the price of 29 euros can be purchased through Hangtime ticketing, and after that the pre-sale price will be 33 euros. On the day, if there are any left, they will cost 36 euros. Tickets are also available at the Dirty Old Shop!
1349 was formed in 1997 in Oslo, marking the year when the plague came to Norway, and the members were previously in the band Alvheim. In that initial phase, they did not hide the influences of bands such as Mayhem and Celtic Frost. “I didn’t like the direction black metal was going in the mid-90s,” recalls Ravn, vocalist and spiritus movens of the band 1349. “It started to lose everything I loved about black metal—the darkness, the eeriness, the primal emotions that had captivated me and brought me into that world. Suddenly, bands were appearing that were using, wearing pirate shirts, and looking like goths. It destroyed something that was really close to my heart.” He gathered bassist Seidemann and then-guitarist Tjalve around him to realize his vision of reviving the original spirit of black metal. The long-standing lineup, consisting of Ravn, Seidemann, guitarist Archaon, and drummer Frost (Satyricon), has remained unchanged since 2001. “I found people who felt the same way I did,” Ravn says of his bandmates. “We wanted to bring back the distinctiveness of Norwegian black metal as it was in the early 90s. Every time we release an album, it’s our inspiration and foundation.”
The Wolf and the King is the latest foray into that mission. 1349’s eighth album shows how they channeled the primal energy of black metal’s second, revolutionary phase through ancient mysteries and the relentless global chaos of the 2020s.

The Ruins of Beverast is a blackened doom metal project formed in 2003 in Aachen under the leadership of Alexander von Meilenwald. “Beverast” is its derivative of the word “Bifröst”, influenced by the Old Norse term for the bridge between Midgard and Asgard. At performances, Alexander has a backing band, while on all six studio albums he did the vocals and instrumentals himself. Even Der Spiegel wrote about his albums. On this occasion, along with a section of the biggest hits from a very rich career, he will also promote the most current album “The Thule Grimoires”.

Vitriol is an American death metal band formed in 2013, and they come from Portland, just like their black metal counterparts UADA. They began their story eight years earlier as Those Who Lie Beneath. They have two albums behind them, and the fresher of them, Suffer & Become with 10 songs, was released by Century Media.

Sarcator is a black trash/metal band formed in 2018 in Trollhättan, Sweden. Interestingly, they named themselves as a combination of their role models: Sarcofago + Kreator. It is a very young band as some of the members were in their early teens when they started it. They used this very youth as a powerful flywheel in their creation, so they already have three albums behind them, while “Swarming Angels & Flies” saw the light of day in the middle of January this year. It is interesting to point out that the son of Marko Tervonen, guitarist of the legendary The Crown, also plays in the band.
