The first edition of the Angelfall Festival in Lublin's Zgrzyt is a dose of the best black metal performed by Polish genre legends.


Arkona was formed in the prehistory of Polish black metal in 1993 in Perzów, Wielkopolska; the same year they released their first demo, The Unholy Wars. The only permanent member of the group is its founder Khorzon; members of Christ Agony, Plaga or Fury have also passed through the band. They currently have seven albums to their credit, the most recent of which is 2019's Age of Capricorn, as well as several splits and EPs.

Joining them are Bestia. The origin of the project goes back to 2013, when its founders Savnock and Nihilist – inspired by the dark forests of central Poland and the theme of death – set about creating an uncompromising album that would express the spirit of unbridled black metal. In late 2018, the band entered the Sphieratz studio. Beast's first album Cold Winds of Death was released in early 2020.

Next up, Besatt. This Bytom-based crew was formed by bassist Beldaroh, drummer Dertalis and guitarist Veronis in 1991, and entered the studio for the first time five years later. They currently have twelve full-length albums to their credit; they have also collaborated with Roman Kostrzewski himself, among others. While somehow controversial in their native Poland, Besatt enjoys a great deal of popularity in Brazil. For the time being, the event's line-up is rounded off by pagan-metal band Popiół, formed by members of genre stalwarts Thy Worshiper, aiming to resurrect shelved compositions from their past. Popiół has since released two records: the debut Zabobony and its 2022 follow-up Szeptun. The band is signed with the Polish extreme metal stalwart Pagan Records.

Remaining artists are to be announced shortly.
