This year, the fortress will welcome BEWITCHED with their "pre-thrash black metal", occult thrash/black MORTUARY DRAPE, and pure evil at top speed from Poland's TOTENMESSE. Also coming for the first time - from America huntress of darkness EMMA RUTH RUNDLE, from Australia instrumental djent trio THE OMNIFIC, and from Belgium progressive stoners MY DILIGENCE.

Returning to the brutal stages will be avant-garde jazz-black IMPERIAL TRIUMPHANT, sophisticated SYLOSIS, and folk-black-death trolls FINNTROLL.
