TAAKE
Taake goes one step further in their battle for world dominance with their newly released full-length album “Stridens Hus”. With a 20 year long run in the service of Norwegian black metal, the band doesn’t really need any introduction for the Inferno-fans. We all know the most important things; they are a great band and they always deliver the best live performances. We proudly welcome Taake back to Inferno Metal Festival to destroy Blå at our club day. http://taake.svartekunst.no

KRAKOW
Kraków from Bergen is one those bands that are hard to describe. You can hear inspiration from such artists as Neurosis, Isis and even Iron Maiden. The band has members from Aeturnus, Kampfar and Havarikommisjonen, and within Kraków they have founded their own sound that feels completely unique. Kraków will mark their 10 years anniversary in 2015 and return to Inferno Metal Festival for another great gig. http://www.krakowofficial.com

GALAR
Melodic folk black metal band Galar was formed in Bergen ten years ago. Their style is black metal with a lot of folk inspired music added to make their unique sound. Combined with the use of instruments like bassoon, grand piano, double bass, cello, viola and violin Galar sure sounds like something else. The two-piece act will add to their live performance several guests well-known from the music scene in Bergen when they play live at Inferno Metal Festival 2015. http://galar.no

MOMENTUM
There is something going on in Iceland where lots of quality music within the metal genre has been rising lately. But Momentum is no newcomers. The band actually started out as a black metal band under the moniker Afsprengi Satans more than ten years ago. The band has evolved it to something new and original over all those years and today Momentum got their own sound. Their first album on Dark Essence is called “The Freak Is Alive” and will be out in the near future. We are looking forward to that and to their very first appearance at Inferno Metal Festival. http://www.momentumiceland.com

DARK ESSENCE / KARISMA
Dark Essence Records is a metal sub-label of Karisma Records. The Bergen based label has become one of the most important Norwegian labels specializing in metal. They are well-known for producing high quality music products in all formats which are distributed worldwide. Dark Essence has collaborated with Inferno Metal Festival for years now, with their own label night during the club day. http://www.darkessencerecords.no
