Back in the shadows of Munich—Dark Easter Metal Meeting 2025 sharpens its edge on April 19 and 20. The full schedule has been revealed, and the gates are nearly open. Each act gets its time to carve into you—uninterrupted, uncompromised. From cult to chaos, this year’s edition speaks in tongues: Gorgoroth, Belphegor, Moonsorrow, Tsjuder, Aura Noir, Absu. And that’s only the beginning.

The Scarred Soundscape
Whether you get scorched by Tsjuder, spiral into Thy Light, or sink with Dymna Lotva, Dark Easter Metal Meeting 2025 isn’t built for casual encounters. It’s curated collapse. The deeper you go, the darker it gets: exhibitions replace signings this year, with Afrarina’s photographs and visuals by Manuel Scapinello and View From The Coffin haunting the Reitknecht Lounge. Open from 14:00 to 21:00 both days.

Preludes & Pints
Before the second day descends into full chaos, there’s a softer opening. On April 20, from 13:00 to 14:30, George brings metal to the piano in the Backstage beer garden—bending riffs into melodies as the crowd filters in. A curious prelude to what’s coming, and a rare moment of calm before the walls shake.

The timeline is set, and the chaos is coming. As the acts take their place, the exhibitions add another layer to the experience. This is where music, art, and darkness converge—grab your mug, it’s about to get interesting!
