post-metal

Formed in 2018 from the pyres of time spent in Swedish post-metal outfit The Moth Gatherer, Alex Stjernfeldt’s Novarupta has gone on to envelop almost every corner of Sweden’s underground rock and metal community.
 

From years the decadence has a great interpreter: its name is Helfir. The new creation, “The Journey” will see the light on November 6th, 2020 on CD and digital format.

The cover artwork was done by Antonio Leo.

Bloodstock’s motto has long been “by the fans, for the fans” and today the independent, family-run festival reconfirms that sentiment remains firmly at its core, by announcing the recent government VAT reduction will be passed on to its customers.
