Beyond the Gates 2024: Full Lineup Announced!
The frost-kissed peaks of Norway beckon once more, for Beyond the Gates 2024 promises an unparalleled pilgrimage into the heart of Nordic metal. This year, the festival takes on an even more mythical status, with the announcement of a special performance by ex-Bathory members alongside legends from Aura Noir, Darvaza, Emperor, Enslaved, Gorgoroth, Mayhem, Primordial, Satyricon, Watain, and Whoredom Rife. This unholy union promises to unleash a torrent of black metal history upon the hallowed grounds of Bergen.
Also included next year, Beyond the Gates and Satyricon proudly presents: ´Horns & Diadems' - two unique concerts with no repeats.
For over 30 years, Satyricon has redefined the boundaries of Norwegian extreme metal. Their relentless innovation, both musically and visually, has cemented their place as one of the genre's most influential forces. From the raw aggression of their early works like "Dark Medieval Times" and "The Shadowthrone" to the groundbreaking experimentation of "Rebel Extravaganza" and chart-topping successes like "Now, Diabolical" and "Deep Calleth Upon Deep," Satyricon has consistently pushed the limits of what black metal can be.
Now, at Beyond the Gates, they prepare to embark on a Supersonic Journey through their own history. Both sets will boast completely different setlists, featuring songs that haven't been performed live in decades alongside their latest sonic creations. This is a chance to witness the evolution of a legendary band, from their raw beginnings to their current status as masters of the genre.
As Satyr, frontman of Satyricon, proclaims: "This residency feels like a natural next step following our appearances at the Norwegian Opera and Ballet and the art exhibition, Satyricon & Munch. We will try and show everyone exactly what this band is about, and we very much look forward to it already."
Echoing this sentiment, festival manager Torgrim Øyre adds: "We've always strived to offer our festival audience something unique – to take them on a journey that you can't experience anywhere else. Working with Satyricon on this project is the epitome of that goal. These two shows will be a testament to the band's rich history and their unwavering commitment to pushing boundaries."
But the experience doesn't stop there. Horns & Diadems will also include guest musicians who have played a significant role in Satyricon's journey, further enriching the event with their presence.
But Beyond the Gates is more than just a singular spectacle. It is a gathering of tribes, a celebration of sonic savagery, and a testament to the enduring power of metal. And the full lineup has just been announced!
This year, the call of the north has reached the distant shores of Australia. A growing horde of Australians are preparing to embark on their own viking voyage, drawn by the promise of icy air, ferocious music, and the camaraderie of fellow metal devotees. This influx of southern spirit promises to add a new dimension to the festival, creating a truly global metal experience.
Beyond the Gates 2024 is not just a concert; it's a ritual, a communion with the spirits of the north. It's a chance to forge lifelong bonds with fellow metal warriors and witness some of the most legendary names in metal history share the stage. So, sharpen your horns, pack your warmest clothes, and prepare to embark on the ultimate metal pilgrimage to the frozen north.
