**With one more band to be confirmed for the main festival shortly plus another 3-4 bands TBA for the festival pre-party**

Enter 2003, a feared and forceful enigma would soon be drawn to this flame; Hornper (vocals) had arrived. By the dark light of the morning star, the five bad points of IN SOLITUDE, who hail from Uppsala Sweden (the same town as Watain & Invidious) cast their first shadows. In 2004, IN SOLITUDE released the band’s first self-titled demo, filled with the incipient verses and music from the new beast. Copies soon dissipate into smoke.

In 2005 guitarist/vocalist Henrik Heleius strays off the burning path. The silhouette of another takes form and Mattias Gustafsson is conjured to enrich the sonic spells of these children of the night. In 2006 the band released the second demo Hidden Dangers, which breathes the night air briefly as it too, quickly dissipates into the aura of the European metal nightscape.

In 2008, Sweden’s S.M.P. Records released the EP Hidden Dangers as a 7” which quickly sold out. Under this same cycle, the band unleashes their nameless 8 song, full-length debut in the form of a CD on Pure Steel Records and cast in wax on High Roller Records. Captured at Burlesco Studios, the same as the demos, this now famous debut was produced by Hasse Bruniusson. The heat of the album spread throughout the land as both versions rapidly saw represses.

Heeding to a growing following, especially in Germany and their home country of Sweden, IN SOLITUDE embarked on a handful of European tours. Touted festivals also witnessed this glorious new beast, namely Keep It True, Up the Hammers, Pounding Metal, Metal Magic and Hell’s Pleasures festivals. Amidst these heighted tiers however, another member grievingly falls, and by the end of 2009 Mattias Gustafsson returned to the mist wherein he came.

2010 saw IN SOLITUDE signing a worldwide deal with Metal Blade Records. This is also the year that Henrik Psalm, vocalist and guitarist for the heavy punkers Sonic Ritual, passes the trials by fire and thus a new fury rises within the horde. Guitarist Henrik Psalm comments; “Soon it will be winter and I am very happy to be a part of the snowstorm of broken glass that is IN SOLITUDE. I’ve got a good feeling that we will pierce quite a few hearts. There will be some blood in the snow. My blood. Everyone’s blood. Ideas are growing into actions. More blood in the snow. It’s great. Passion. Fire. I love these guys. We are really doing something that will make motion. It’s in the air around us right now. We love each other and we love that fire that moves us. It’s something not of this world and I am one of the instruments that makes this happen, and that’s a beautiful thing.” The cultivation of a new sound nears perfection; one that bears the dynamic powers of youth and the embittered wisdom of the ages.

The week of November 15th, the horde entered Nicke Anderson’s (HELLACOPTERS) brand new studio Gutterview Recorders in Stockholm, Sweden with producer Fred Estby (DISMEMBER, DEATH BREATH) to record the band’s sophomore record, which will see release in the spring of 2011.

Follow the Owl. Follow your own burning blood into the night!

Fenriz says: “someone gave me their cd at the METAL MERCHANTS festival (i discovered when i emptied out my bag the day after). After listening, it was dead obvious that this would be the next band of the week, they play doom metal the way i like it, the 70s 80s style, not the dogmatic stuff that came later (when EVERYTHING is slow, what’s up with THAT?!). So this band is for fans of Trouble, Revelation demo 2&3, 1st Candlemass, black sabbath/pentagram usa and so forth”

Fenriz says: “Oh yeah, been following this band for a long time, i even wore their shirt in the DARK THRONES AND BLACK FLAGS album cover photo section. but when is the album finally coming, Igor? THE PUB(L)IC DEMANDS AN ANSWER!!! haha“

Fenriz says: “this is based on their phenomenal FROM THE WOMB TO THE TOMB album (thanks for bringing it to my house, Mirko!). Sometimes they even sound like a mix between first Death album AND first Autopsy album! HOLY MACKEREL!!!“

Fenriz says: got two tape demos of this band. probably no cd’s for sale. probably, MORE THAN PROBABLY no webpage or myspace page. They probably even hate me for putting them here in the band of the week “hall of fame” winning streak. but let’s not make it a WHINING streak, eh? i just refuse to shut up about great music. i saw this band LIVE this summer as i was dj’ing the even, and it was utterly mindblowing and RAW.

Antichrist started in 2005 by Sven Nilsson and Steken Sunesson but remained fairly unactive until 2008 when Filip and Gabbe joined the band. A demo (Crushing Metal Tape) was recorded in the summer of of 2008 but wasn’t released until the summer of 2009. After the demo was released the band started looking for a bass player to complete the line-up and their friend Gobbe turned out to be the man for the job.
