29 bands. 29 bands to grace one of Hellfest 's 6 stages this Thursday, June 15, the first day of the 2023 edition of the legendary metal festival. So, which artists will you be seeing on Thursday? Kiss, Parkway Drive, Behemoth... let's take a look at the 5 bands not to be missed this June 15, 2023 in Clisson for the new edition of Hellfest.
They're Americans, and they're into avant-garde black metal. They are the members of Imperial Triumphant, and they intend to deliver some heavy metal at Hellfest on Thursday June 15. If their powerful, devastating songs are likely to wake us up in the late afternoon, their performance is also likely to blow our minds. The three masked musicians of Imperial Triumphant are ready to conquer the French public, so hang on!
Another Kiss assault at Hellfest! While the American glam rock band announced a farewell tour some time ago, Kiss continues to hit European stages. This new concert at Hellfest on June 15 is likely to be their last. But with them, nothing is certain. A word of advice: make sure you're there for what promises to be an epic musical moment, filled with confetti and pyrotechnics. So, are you ready to sing " I Was Made for Lovin' You "?
For a unique musical experience set against a backdrop of post metal as bewitching as it is spellbinding, head to the Valley stage this Thursday evening to (re)discover Amenra. With these Belgians, all you have to do is close your eyes and you'll be carried away on a twisted, powerful and soaring journey. Singer Colin H. van Eeckhout is incredible, offering a transcendent spiritual communion you won't soon forget!
From Poland, BEHEMOTH are likely to electrify the first evening of Hellfest! With 12 albums to their credit, Behemoth have been proving themselves for some time now. Led by the impressive Nergal, Behemoth have become one of the must-see black/death metal bands on the live scene, because their energy is so communicative and powerful. As a reminder, Nergal was already at Hellfest last year, but with his side project, Me And That Man.
Australians know how to make extreme music too! The proof is in the form of Parkway Drive, whose explosive and invigorating live performances have become benchmarks. With 8 albums to their credit, including the latest"Darker Still", metalcore band Parkway Drive are set to cause a sensation at this year's Hellfest. The band, led by singer Winston McCall, is the very last on Mainstage 2 for the first night of Hellfest 2023.
Of course, this list is by no means exhaustive, and there are plenty of other bands not to be missed at Hellfest on June 15. What are you planning to see and hear on Thursday in Clisson?
