Prophecy Fest announces three more artists for the 2025 edition of the three day event, of which two will perform special sets: Norwegian pagan black & progressive metal pioneers ENSLAVED will travel back in time to perform their legendary EP „Hordanes Land“ that was released in the early days of the second wave of black metal in 1993. Eclectic German metal & gothic duo AUTUMNBLAZE have agreed to bring two sets to the cave: They will start with presenting songs from their first three full-lengths in an old school set, while their ‚best of‘ show follows up with material from the later albums. Last but never least, US avant-garde doom project KAYO DOT will pay Europe one of their rare visits to present a selection of their unique songs in Balve.


Prophecy Fest 2025 will bring dark, forward thinking music with an attitude to one of the world’s most fascinating cultural locations, the legendary, natural Cave of Balve („Balver Höhle“). The three-day event will start on Thursday, September 11 and it will conclude with a final concert starting before midnight of Saturday, September 13. The price for a 3-Day-Pass 2025 has been set at 149 € (plus service charge).

These acts have currently been confirmed, with more bands to be added in due time (in alphabetical order): ARTHUR BROWN, AUTUMBLAZE, DARKHER, DORNENREICH, ENSLAVED, GRÀB, IMHA TARIKAT, KALL, KAYO DOT, MOONSPELL, NYTT LAND, SOROR DOLOROSA, THE VISION BLEAK.
