Norway’s biggest extreme metal festival Inferno Metal Festival and Germany’s Summer Breeze Open Air launch a band exchange program.
The fact that Norway and Germany have excellent underground scenes with first-class bands is proven year after year with great releases and thrilling live performances by up-and-coming bands, as well as with countless applications reaching the festival organizers.
Inferno Metal Festival and Summer Breeze Open Air are launching a band exchange program from 2024, with each festival offering a slot to one Norwegian and one German band. The aim is not only to give up-and-coming bands the opportunity to perform abroad, but also to gain new fans. Thus, Summer Breeze will present a German band at the Inferno Metal Festival in Oslo for the first time in April 2024, while Inferno Metal Festival will send one of the most promising Norwegian extreme metal newcomers to Dinkelsühl for Summer Breeze in August.
VORGA
Vorga is a German black metal band from Karlsruhe. The band released their debut album “Striving Toward Oblivion” in 2022 to great acclaim.
From Chris ‘Jagger’ Jäger, head of booking at Summer Breeze Open Air:
Vorga came to our attention practically out of nowhere and we loved them from the very first second. With their wonderfully driving, majestic, atmospherically dense, and melodic black metal, the guys from Karlsruhe were preaching to the choir, so we immediately invited them to play a show at Summer Breeze. After they had convinced not only us, but also numerous fans live in Dinkelsbühl in August, it was obvious for us to propose this band to the Inferno Metal Festival for Easter 2024. If you like blackened (death) metal with captivating melodies, you shouldn’t miss the debut show of the Germans in Oslo!
