Black metal, death metal, thrash metal and all styles of music in between will be celebrated in the Styrian mountains from August 18th to 20th. Kaltenbach Open Air is a festival of extremes, which is celebrating its 15th anniversary this year, so get your fucked up metal clothes out of the closet – the Stuhleck is calling!
The organizers have spared no expense for the KOA anniversary to put together a superlative line-up. SODOM, SEPTIC FLESH and SUFFOCATION are the culmination of the festival and to the delight of thrash and death metallers. Aficionados of black metal don’t miss out, Norwegians TAAKE have rocked the mountain before and will do it again this year. Local extreme metal bands such as ELLENDE, MORTAL STRIKE, DARKFALL and many more honor the Austrian festival of extremes with their presence.
Because of the Covid measures, we had to wait two years for Austria’s most popular metal event to reopen its doors – now it’s time. For three days the mountain is shaken to its foundations, the religion fanatics are shown the middle finger and pure evil is glorified in all its musical facets.
