GALLERY: 16.8.2024 Midgardsblot Festival – DAY 3 @ Borre, Norway

Every year, we head down to Borre in Norway to attend the mystical Midgardsblot Festival, one of the highlights of our summer! This year, Midgardsblot Festival took place from August 13th, 2024 to August 16th, 2024. As per usual, Midgardsblot boasted a diverse lineup with bands like AMON AMARTH, GRAND MAGUS, KALANDRA, VADER, GÅTE, EMPEROR, TESTAMENT, and many more!

The third day of Midgardsblot was a captivating blend of atmospheric metal, ferocious thrash, and dark, ethereal sounds that perfectly matched the historic setting.

We started the day with British post-black metal band FEN, followed by DESTROYER 666, who sped up the festival’s intensity by unleashing their brand of blackened thrash metal. Their performance was raw and aggressive, with ferocious riffs and savage vocals. The band’s rebellious energy and chaotic sound provided a sharp contrast to the day’s earlier acts, sparking an adrenaline-fueled atmosphere.

DESTROYER 666 was followed by NYTT LAND‘s performance, rooted in Siberian folklore and shamanic traditions. Their haunting vocals and traditional instruments transported the audience to ancient, mystical realms, creating an immersive experience that resonated deeply with the festival’s Viking theme.

Closing out the night, Norwegian legends SEIGMEN delivered a mesmerizing performance. Their moody, textured sound and charismatic stage presence captivated the audience, with both long-time fans and newcomers drawn into their dark, hypnotic world.

The third day of Midgardsblot was a masterful showcase of contrasting styles, with each band leaving a unique mark. Check our photo gallery here…
