Dear friends, for February we promised you another batch of bands confirmed for the upcoming 13th installment of our/your Czech metal feast, so here you go. Besides a visit to the Slovakian metal scene, we are sticking again to the local Czech scene, all the while moving across various sub-genres. Please welcome:

DYING PASSION (cz)

The legendary mood-makers DYING PASSION will captivate the fans with solid riffs, distinct melodies, melancholic passages, playfulness and excellent vocals of Zuzana Jelínková. Although they are still oftentimes presented as gothic/doom metal band, their music reach has been far wider for a long time now. The result is a singular music that is not devoid of emotions, subtlety or pomp. This year, the high-quality band discography will get another release entitled “Skylor”, wherein DYING PASSION are promising atmospheric rock with dark wave, dream pop and post-rock overtones. Definitely something to look forward to, as is their performance on MGCDF 2022!


PAČESS (cz)

In the recent months, PAČESS has been getting praise left and right with regards to their latest full-length “Poupě”, and rightfully so. An excellent epic black metal that gets under your skin, and though it now and then respectfully pays tribute to Bathory, it follows its own direction that pays no heed to current trends and whims. Simply put, an honest old school of seasoned musicians, including for example the bassist Paramba (Solfernus) or the guitarist Jakub Fritsche (Forgotten Silence). Behind the mic is then no other than Ing. Tomáš František Hanzl, aka Chymus, the frontman of the legendary Isacaarum.


ET MORIEMUR (cz)

With ET MORIEMUR there will come a time of funeral doom metal. Brace yourselves for the omnipresent ruin, pain and depression. A truly harrowing music that will surely be, as far as emotions go, one of the highlights of this year’s installment. The band is about to release their fourth full-length this year entitled “Tamashii No Yama” that will get a gorgeous collectors vinyl edition. And there is no denying the fact that it is well deserved for ET MORIEMUR, since they have been for years among the most essential Czech doom metal bands!


ĆAD (sk)

This will be a party with bulldozers! An absolute kick-ass that will get your blood pumping. After all, it is no accident that ČAD are considered one of the most distinct bands of the Slovakian metal scene in recent years. Their music is fun, with uncompromising drive and a zest to roll over anyone and everyone. Even their latest full-length “Medvede” shows no signs of fatigue. Great sound, great songs, great album. ČAD are still awesome!


WICTIMS (cz)

MGCDF 2022 will of course offer something also for the fans of modern metal. One of such heralds are WICTIMS that will assault all present with black metal laced with deathcore. You can gauge their current form from their latest single “Future Is Dead”. This will be a blast!

More confirmed bands soon!

Enjoy!
