WEEKEND RITUALS #04 - WE WERE BACK AND SO WERE YOU

After the cancellation, the changes of venue and the unfinished plans, we spent 2024 regrouping and dealing with the losses.

But in 2025,   WE WERE BACK AND SO WERE YOU! 

Last week’s BACKSTAGE NOTES revisited some of the things that went wrong and the people who helped keep the festival going. This weekend, we move on to 2025 and the bands that brought us together again at INVICTA REQUIEM MASS VIII
.

SOERD, MALLITIAE, BAXAXAXA, ULTRA SILVAM, OSCULUM INFAME, ZMYRNA, NÄCHTLICH, AWAKETH, GRIEVANCE, TOMB VENERATION and MORTE INCANDESCENTE feature in this week’s selection, with records, tapes and merchandise from across their catalogues.

For those who were there, something to revisit. For those who weren’t, the music can still be enjoyed without the wristband.

Up to 25% off selected records and merchandise, from November 13rd to 15th.
