PRIMORDIAL

Irish black metal band Primordial started in 1987 under the moniker Forsaken, covering classics from bands like Bathory and Venom. In 1993 the band changed the name to Primordial and in 1995 their debut album "Imrama" saw the light of day. The band was critical acclaimed from the very start, but not until 2007, when the release of "To the Nameless Dead", hit the streets, the band conquered the world. From then on the band has played in every corner of the world and it is time for Primordial to return to Inferno Metal Festival for the 2017 edition! https://www.facebook.com/primordialofficial/ INSIDIOUS DISEASE

Insidous Disease was formed in late 2004 by Silenoz (Dimmu Borgir) and Jardar (Old Man’s Child) with drummer extraordinary Tony Laureano (Angelcorpse, Nile). Later (Napalm Death, Brujeria, Lock Up) joined the fold to complete the pounding pulse and rhythm section. The band later on found their distinct main voice in non other than Marc Grewe (of former German death metal cult act Morgoth) to handle vocal duties since his maniacal screams perfectly fit the rabid sound of the band. Musically, lyrically and visually the 2010 album “Shadowcast” is one hell of a ride down to the core of honest, brutal and violent death metal at its very best, and should leave no fan of the genre dissatisfied. The band has been working on the long awaited as of yet untitled follow up album which will finally hit the streets in 2017. Expect an even more refined back to basics groovy old school approach, and sick, filthy, twisted abhorrence! This will be their first appearance at Inferno Metal Festival. https://www.facebook.com/InsidiousDisease

SLAGMAUR

Those battle ants are back again! With a new album called “Thill Smitts Terror”, soon to be released on Osmose, Slagmaur will enter the stage at Inferno Metal Festival for the second time. For those who were lucky enough to witness this band live the last time you know that Slagmaur delivers some scary, dark, heavy and creepy Norwegian black metal. Don't expect the band to be ordinary in any way. This band know how to make the visuals right for the perfect mood for their weird and creepy kind of music. Welcome to an extraordinary show with Slagmaur at Inferno Metal Festival 2017! https://www.facebook.com/slagmaurofficial/
