Prophecy Fest gladly announces three more bands for the Cave of Balve in 2024: post-black metal outfit Dymna Lotva left the audience stunned with two memorable shows on the second stage last year. This time, the Belarusians will play on the main stage. Danish doom/gothic metallers Blazing Eternity have been away for a long time but will return to Germany with the show in Balve this year. Last but never least, German Valborg, after having to cancel last year's appearance due to conflicting obligations, is determined to detonate the cave with its hard-hitting sonic attack.
As for the cancellation, the two US bands with a shared line-up, Tchornobog and Aureole, sadly had to call off their shows this year. The reasons are medical issues of an essential member that will unfortunately take several months to be resolved. Hopefully, these two fascinating bands will be able to cross the Atlantic for a future edition.
Prophecy Fest and label founder Martin Koller states: "First of all, our well wishes go out to Markov Soroka's ill band member. We are of course sad that his acts cannot play, but the well-being of everybody involved with the festival always has highest priority. On the bright side, we are getting close to conclude our booking for the cave with Blazing Eternity, Dymna Lotva, and Valborg. We sincerely hope that you like these additions as much as we do. We will soon announce the bands for Thursday, so please watch this space".
Acts confirmed so far (in alphabetical order): Alcest & Nicolas Horvath, Arthur Brown, Arđ, Austere, Blazing Eternity, Dool, Dymna Lotva, Empyrium, Farsot, Fen, Fortíð, Germ, Hexvessel, In The Woods..., Paradise Lost, Perchta, Solstice, Thief, Triptykon, and Valborg.
