Penultimate artist announcement

As Høstsabbat is getting closer by the day, preparations are in full swing.

To leave summer behind doesn't feel that bad at all anymore.

Souls and minds are slowly gearing up for the annual assault of volume, goodtimes, fringes, beers and the needed, deadly amount of murderous, earth shattering rumble.

To welcome you, as the church bells chimes in honor of the Sabbat, we have invited the greenest of wizards, the weirdest of men - our long time acquaintances in Tusmørke.

Even though they are, for us at least, Høstsabbat heavy weights, they haven't been featured on our festival lineup since 2013. Our very first year.

That's some occult wizardry for you right there!

To balance these veterans, we obviously need some youngsters. Haxerband has been flying high since there debut EP earlier this year, and it's a no brainer to have their piercing energy transform to Witch Punk before our very eyes.

Another no brainer is the Høstsabbat introduction of Oslo based two-piece UMA. No strangers to any metal head with half a foot in the underground. They have crushed skulls with their progressive, neanderthal sludge for years albeit their young age.

Two guys, massive and intricate, growls and filth.

This time Høstsabbat will be their ritual.

To round up this batch of bands, we are excited to welcome what will probably be one of Norway's hottest new acts in the coming years. Kosmodome from Bergen managed to score a record deal with the VERY magnificent label Stickman Records, and their label debut will be unleashed just in time for their appearance at Høstsabbat.

Kosmodome floats around in an intriguing sphere of proggy, lush, psych rock with some kind of updated flare to it. It's almost catchy even.

We're glad we are invited for ride!

Please welcome these four beautiful bands to our October gathering!
