Upcoming gigs!
25 September 2026, Nalen Klubb, Stockholm
An evening of dramatic metal and hard rock at Nalen Klubb. Join us for medieval folk metal, gothic rock, and heavy riffs.
Orbital Decay open the night with their self-described “Moody Metal” — raw, nostalgic 80s hard rock built on heavy power chords with clear echoes of Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath. As reviewer Bear Wiseman put it, in a scene this oversaturated, Orbital Decay’s sound is “music that brings you back” to the glory days of Iron Maiden and Sabbath-era metal.
Black Magic Fools continue with bagpipes, violin, hurdy-gurdy and flute in their medieval-tinged metal. Active since 2008 and steeped in tales of plague, superstition and gallows humour from Sweden’s past, the Gothenburg band deliver a full folk-metal spectacle, not just a gig.
Nocean close the night. The Stockholm-based cinematic metal band blends melodic, progressive and symphonic metal with full theatrical storytelling — most recently touring their concept album Aurora: The Weight of a Shadow across 18 Swedish theatre stages. New single “Beware” is out now.
