Like three nails driven in to the body of Christ, this Dublin trio of musicians are fast gathering a name for themselves in the underground. The debut album was recorded in the aptly named Devils Mark Studios in Italy and released by invictus productions who have a skill for spotting the best talent. Sure to be a highlight of the festival before they go off to conquer the rest of the world!

As wolves among sheep Vircolac have wandered! This band from Ireland have a unique and fresh take on death metal. Live performances are a treat in their rarity and The Abyss Festival is to be no exception. Signed to Sepulchral Voice Records in Europe & Dark Descent Records in the US soon after forming 'Masque' is a strong follow up to the acclaimed 'Cursed Travails of the Demeter' EP

Armed & Dangerous for the first time in Sweden Canadian speed thrashers Razor need little by way of introduction. Underpolished and overlooked compared to their US counterparts, Razors aggressive raw style of playing has always been at the heart of true underground thrash metal. Our first big act we are proud to present the Evil Invaders are sure to win the black hearts of all at the Abyss Festival!

À en juger par le 1er communiqué du festival au regard de la 2ème édition, on pourrait encore s'attendre à un pilier du Death Californien, l'instigateur de l'Epic Doom à l'européenne -lorsqu'ils ne préfèrent pas annuler leur présence pour d'obscures raisons-, un lunatique chanteur toxico' de Doom de Washington -à moins que ce ne soient les deux rescapés d'un quartette de Thrash/Death Chilien-, et enfin d'anciens membres d'un éminent power-trio de N.W.O.B.H.M.

MANIACS!!
HOT DAYS AND HEAVY NIGHTS GOT YOU FEELING ABYS(S)MAL? LOUSY SMARCH WEATHER WILL SORT YOU! WHO'S READY TO BE AT THE GATES OF THE ABYSS FESTIVAL 2020. WE'RE SHARPENING OUR RAZORS AND READY FOR OUR THIRD AUTOPSY! THE CANDLES ARE LIT THE MASS IS PREPARED, THE PENTAGRAM BURNS!

WAR!
The Swiss are not known for going to war except for perhaps the very early 90s when Samael put out their first 2 releases.
Worship Him and Blood Ritual have often been overlooked in Samaels live performances in favour of the equally memorable Ceremony of Opposites and more electronic dark arts.
The Abyss Festival proudly presents Worship And Ritual playing these 2 black gems in full

ATTENTION!

Dark, sticky and sickly sweet is best to describe Molasses. This newly formed group, from the ashes of The Devil's Blood, brings forth haunting melodies, dark ambience and bittersweet melodies- drawn from the rich eclectic history of each member. Haunting and memorable.

Formed by one of the best vocalists the heavy metal world has ever experienced, front lady of The Devil's Blood, Farida Lemouchi is accompanied by old cohorts Oeds Beydals, Job van de Zande, and Ron van Herpen alongside Bob Hogenelst (Birth of Joy) and Matthijs Stronks (Donnerwetter). Molasses has arrived.

After their 1st performance at Roadburn Festival, they will grace our stage at The Abyss Festival 2020. We are honoured.


The unholy, the hell-bent, the servants of darkness return! The best of the Swedish underground, the one and only NIFELHEIM.

They will deliver an exclusive show for the Abyss Festival and ONLY Swedish date for 2020, a ritual celebrating 30 fuck off rotten years of NIFELHEIM.

BE FOREWARNED: This is a special set, a visual spectacle never seen before and a show FULL of surprises
More spikes, more leather, chains speed, darkness and gore, but most of all FUCK OFF!!!
