TULUS (Wednesday 2nd of December 2020) Tulus is a Norwegian black metal band that was formed in 1991. The band released three classic albums before they disbanded in 2000 and members of Tulus later went on to form the band Khold. In 2006 Tulus returned and the following year they released “Biography Obscene”. This lead to an exclusive gig at Inferno in 2008 – performing for the second time in the history of the band. (Their first gig was at Mars in 1999). In 2012 the band released “Olm og bitter” and in 2014 the band offered another exclusive gig at . Tulus released their solid new album “Old Old Death” in March 2020! https://www.facebook.com/TULUSband

OBLITERATION (Thursday 3th of December 2020)

Kolbotn's Obliteration started in 2001 when the members of the band was still just young teenagers. Today they are regarded as one of 's finest death metal bands because of classic albums like “Perpetual Decay” from 2007, “Nekropsalms” from 2009 and “Black Death Horizon” from 2013. Obliteration's latest album “Cenotaph Obscure” came in 2018 and proves that the band still knows how to make supreme death metal with lots of variation with distinct flavors of both doom and black metal. Obliteration performed at Inferno Metal Festival as early as in 2005. It is a pleasure to have them back at our kick off party! https://www.facebook.com/obliterationofficial

VED BUENS ENDE (Friday 4th of December 2020) Back in 1995 something completely different was released and it came from the Norwegian underground black metal scene. This unique masterpiece was called “Written in Waters”. It was no ordinary black metal album – far from it – it was music that no one had heard before. Some people would even argue if it was black metal at all – and some would just call it avantgarde black metal. It does not matter what you call it, it was something vast and distinctive that still feels unique even almost 25 years later. Ved Buens Ende was laid to rest soon after and the band has not released anything after “Written in Waters”. With members and ex-members from such bands as , Cadaver, Dødheimsgard, Satyricon, Arcturus, and Virus. https://www.facebook.com/vedbuensende1
