“A wildly cathartic and brilliantly crafted blast of progressive metal” – that’s how Rolling Stone magazine described the album “Purple” (2015) by the American band BARONESS. The band, which was nominated for a Grammy in 2019 with their ambitious album “Gold & Grey,” will bring their latest sixth studio album “STONE” to the Fortress. It streamlines the multi-genre nature of the previous album, and as lead singer John Baizley describes, “STONE is much livelier, more straightforward.”
The lineup of stoner music will be expanded with the addition of Poland’s DOPELORD, with their doom-satanic songs, stoner rock band GAUPA with their folkish touch, and finally, THE OBSESSED featuring Scott “Wino” Weinrich, one of the pioneers of the genre, having previously played, for example, with the band Saint Vitus.
You can also look forward to a sharp dose of 80s thrash on the Josefov stages. Three names from the American scene will be there: FORBIDDEN and HEATHEN with their Bay Area thrash, and HIRAX with their characteristic maniacal blend of speed and thrash metal. German band EXUMER, known for their classic old-school approach, will complete the quartet – a must for all Exodus and Slayer fans.
