ARTISTS 2025 (A to Z)
AEON (Sweden)
Aeon, the Swedish kings of technical death the American way, were booked for the 2022 festival which unfortunately had to be cancelled due to the pandemic. We have been trying to get the band back ever since and now it is finally time again. This will also be the band’s return to the live stage after 10 years. Prepare yourself for a pure anti-Christian attack where no prayers are enough to ward off this death squad from Jämtland.
BEWITCHED (Sweden)
Bewitched’s return to the live scene in 2020 was of course not missed by House of Metal, and the band was instantly invited to play the festival. Since then, the band has once again traveled around the world and played countless gigs. The band was formed back in 1995 and has since released five full-length albums of blackened Speed/Thrash/Heavy Metal, and it is also rumored that the band is working on a new album. Could there be a taste of it during the 2025 festival?
FRANTIC AMBER (Sweden)
Frantic Amber is a Melodic Death Metal-band based in Stockholm and currently consists of five female musicians. Their sound is an intense mix of heavy riffs and soaring melodies with elements of Thrash and Black Metal combined with aggressive growling vocals. The band will release a new album in 2025, and a new single with an accompanying video is promised to be released shortly. The band’s live show is described as an explosive whirlwind of energy with a strong stage presence and unique charisma. In other words, a band that you don’t want to miss live.
THE HAUNTED (Sweden)
The Haunted are already familiar in the House of Metal context as they have visited the festival during previous editions, in fact more times than any other artist. The band is currently working on their first new album in nine years, which will be the band’s tenth full-length since their start back in 1997. The band has also previously won Grammys no less than twice in the category “Hard Rock of the Year”. With both old and new material in their luggage, we welcome back this melodic Death/Thrash/Groove platoon for a fourth time to let them clash on the Idun stage.
LUCIFER’S CHILD (Greece)
Lucifer’s Child were formed in Athens, Greece during 2013 by George Emmanuel (ex. Rotting Christ) and Stathis Ridis (ex. Nightfall). The first full length album of the band, “The Wiccan”, was released in 2015, followed by their second album, ”The Order” released in 2018. The band has also released a split-EP together with Brazil’s Mystifier in 2022. A new album is also in the works for a release during 2025. The band deliver a Black Metal sound that is very unique for Greek Metal and will surely be appreciated by fans of acts such as Rotting Christ, Nightfall, Varathron and more.
VINTERSORG (Sweden)
Vintersorg made a grand comeback to the live scene during House of Metal 2017. Formed in Skellefteå back in 1994, they have since created a strong position among Viking/Folk metal fans around the world, but have also experimented with a more progressive sound on records like “Cosmic Genesis”, “Visions from the Spiral Generator” and “The Focusing Blur”. For the 2025 festival, the band returns once again with a new fresh album in their luggage and an exclusive evening in the Vintersorg spirit is guaranteed.
