Vikinški dvojec Eihwar iz Francije sporoča, da je združil moči z založbo Season Of Mist. Band bo svetu predstavil svoj prvenec konec naslednjega leta, v živo pa jih bo moč videti naslednje leto na festivalih širom Evrope, med drugim tudi na znamenitem festivalu Hellfest.
Nemški black metalci Der Weg Einer Freiheit so objavili posnetek celotnega nastopa na letošnjem Hellfestu.
Založba AOP Records je objavila koncertni posnetek celotnega nastopa Harakiri For The Sky na letošnjem Hellfestu.
Francoski televizijski kanal Arte je objavil nastop norveških black metalcev 1349 na letošnjem Hellfestu. Tako se boste lahko predhodno pripravili na razvrat, ki nas bo pričakal na Tolminatorju.
Francoski temačneži The Old Dead Tree, ki so leta 2020 izdali album The End in z njim najavili konec kariere, so te dni predstavili komad Terrified. Vokalist/kitarist Manuel Minoz je ob tem poudaril, da je trajalo kar 16 let, da sta z drugim kitaristom Nicolasom Chevrollierjem napisala novo pesem. Zasedba je ob izdaji komada najavila tudi nastop na njim domačem festivalu Hellfest.
Ukrajinska post/black metal zasedba White Ward je bila zaradi situacije v Ukrajini žal primorana odpovedati vse načrtovane nastope in turneje. Spodaj lahko preberete izjavo banda:
»Dear friends,
With a heavy heart, we need to inform you that our April tour is canceled. Last 2 weeks we fought for the fate of the tour. We tried all the possible ways, but the system proved to be stronger.
So, let's make it clear about what happened and about the reasons for the cancellation.
Right now “wartime” restrictions are applied in Ukraine, and they include limitations for men in ages 18-60 to cross the border, because it is a range when men are available for military service. So, there is a need to get special permission from state authorities to travel out of Ukraine. During the year 2022 the Ministry Of Culture helped Ukrainian musicians and different artists and assisted in acquiring such permits (for a limited time) and that is why we, and many other bands, were able to play in Europe last year.
But a working algorithm that allows to control the “way back” was not created and responsibilities related to the violations of the permission terms - were nowhere written. And that is why some impudent people just used this opportunity to run out of Ukraine and decided not to come back. Very few cases are known, but after the last one, which raised a lot of noise and dissatisfaction in the media, the Ministry Of Culture decided to implement immediate changes and new rules, even for artists who have already sent a request for permit weeks before an accident - we have sent such request on February, 20th. That is the reason why many Ukrainian bands like Schizogen, Bezlad, The Hypnotunez, Kazka, and many more have already canceled or almost canceled their tours. Some bands were affected when they were already at the border and shows should take place the next day, but due to new rules, they were not allowed to leave Ukraine!
The new rules suppose some additional documents to a request. In our case, every member of the band has his own difficulties in acquiring that, even with an immediate start - there is no guarantee that the process will be successful and accomplished in time. Also, that is anyway not a guarantee that the request will be approved - our colleagues` request was refused even with all the requested documents. So, we just can't get this permission and it is over.
We have tried everything, and the media noise was our last hope. But it hasn’t worked, unfortunately. Months of work, preparations, money - all this is now in vain.
We sincerely apologize to our fans, promoters, and everyone who helped us with this tour. We hope that one day we will make this tour real, and you will wait for us. We will still try to figure something out before Hellfest and August festivals, but no new tour announcements till the end of the war will be made.
But, the one and only responsible for this is russia. They broke everything by invading our country, killing our children, bombing our cities, destroying our culture, and applying all fascist methods to destroy us and we will never forget what they DID and are still DOING!«
Psihedelični doom/stoner rokerji/metalci Duel so izdali live album Live at Hellfest, ki ga lahko naročite preko Bandcampa in preverite spodaj.
Francoski post metal/shoegaze dvojec Alcest sporoča, da si končno lahko na spletu ogledate njun nastop z letošnjega festivala Hellfest. Za objavo je na portalu Youtube ponovno poskrbel francoski televizijski kanal Arte. Setlista:
Les jardins de minuit
Protection
Sapphire
Écailles de lune - Part 2
Autre temps
Oiseaux de proie
Kodama

Francoski blackened death metalci Svart Crown so junija izdali polvečerec Les terres brûlées pri založbah Nova Lux Production in Les Acteurs de l’Ombre Productions. Prisluhnete mu lahko na Bandcampu.
Kmalu po izidu EP-ja je band, ki ga poganja JB Le Bail, prenehal z delovanjem. Svart Crown so imeli poslovilni koncert 26. junija na Hellfestu.
Francoski televizijski kanal Arte je na portalu Youtube objavil celoten nastop švedskih black metalcev Watain na Hellfestu. Posnetek bo na voljo za ogled do 16. junija 2023.
Setlista: Death's Cold Dark, Malfeitor, The Howling, Leper's Grace, Black Flames March, Reaping Death, Serimosa, Ecstasies in Night Infinite, Stellarvore, Towards the Sanctuary, The Serpent's Chalice.
Megadeth so eni izmed mnogih izvajalcev, ki so v sodelovanju z ArteConcert objavili celoten posnetek nastopa na letošnji različici festivala Hellfest. Zasedba je odigrala sledeče komade:
Hangar 18
Dread And The Fugitive Mind
The Threat Is Real
Angry Again
The Conjuring
Sweating Bullets
Conquer Or Die
Dystopia
A Tout Le Monde
Trust
Symphony Of Destruction
Peace Sells
Holy Wars
Steel Panther so v svoj dobre pol ure dolg nastop na festivalu Hellfest vključili priredbo komada Crazy Train (Ozzy Osbourne). Imitacijo vokalista Michaela Starra nekateri opisujejo kot nepotrebno žalitev, spet drugi pa kot enostavno »spot-on« prikaz pevčevih vokalnih in igralskih talentov. Oglejte si posnetek in presodite sami (priredba se prične na 19. minuti).
