Every year, the Norwegian Beyond The Gates Festival brings metalheads from around the world to Bergen. This year, the festival was held from August 2nd to August 5th, 2023. Not unlike the other editions we attended, there are always a lot of familiar faces, many stages to cover, and events to attend. The festival hosted bands like KREATOR, DEICIDE, GORGOROTH, ALCEST, PERTUBATOR, and many more!
We started the first day a little late with the performance of POSSESSED at USF Hallen. They played a varied setlist, with among others: “No More Room in Hell,” “Pentagram,” “Beyond the Gates,” and “The Exorcist,” arousing enthusiasm among the audience. After POSSESSED, BÖLZER was set to play on the smaller stage, making USF Verftiet fully packed. As always, this duo brings pure darkness with only a glimpse of backlight on the stage, creating an atmospheric performance. The festival’s first day ended with a performance of the death metal band, DEICIDE in USF Hallen.
