As the ninth edition of SonicBlast Moledo gets closer, we start our usual preview of the festival by presenting five must-see bands from the first day of the festival.

Mgła will return to Portugal in September to perform at both RCA Club, in Lisbon, and Hard Club, in Porto. Martwa Aura and Above Aurora will be the opening bands in both dates.

This coming October will see Hexis return to Portugal with Teethgrinder for four shows of pure sonic desctruction.

Alcest will headline the seventh edition of Under The Doom but those aren’t the only surprises the festival has in store for us.

Stoned Jesus, Giöbia and Viaje a 800 are just three of the seven names that complete this year’s lineup of SonicBlast Moledo.

Next week, the incredible metamorphosing Thou will perform at Dürer Kert in what will be the band’s very first show in Budapest. Joining the band as special guests will be Yautja, with Torn From Earth and HEGY providing additional support.

This coming Fall, High Reeper and Crypt Trip will join forces for a co-headlining tour around Europe, which will see each band present their latest records, “Higher Reeper” and “Haze County”, respectively.

This year’s edition of Laurus Nobilis Music is closing in fast, so we bring you a preview of the festival which will feature performances by Hypocrisy, Samael, Fleshgod Apocalypse, Entombed A.D., Soilwork and Analepsy, among many others.

Later this year, Ghost will embark on an European headlining tour to present their latest record, “Prequelle”, for the last time. Joining the band as special guests will be All Them Witches and Tribulation.
