HELVETE UNDERGROUND: Swiss Underground Black Metal Festival

[droningbones]

Renowned worldwide for the past 30 years, Swiss Black Metal scene owes its fame primarily to bands like Hellhammer, Celtic Frost and Samael. In parallel to the major formations mentioned above, Swiss Black Metal scene did not know any peace between the formation of Hellhammer in 1982 and today. Quite the contrary.

More than 30 years and a bit after its first Black Metal band was born, a handful of activists from Geneva’s Underground culture are gathering to organize a major cultural event which focus is to rehabilitate and pay tribute to Black Metal, this hidden part of Switzerland’s musical heritage.

Therefore, it’s with infinite honor and pleasure that we announce you the full line-up for this very unique three-days celebration.

With the likes of DARKSPACE, BORGNE, BÖLZER, RORCAL, and many more, we intend to pay tribute to the greatest facet of the Swiss Underground Black Metal scene.




Extreme music fanatics Worldwide : welcome to the HELVETE UNDERGROUND FESTIVAL. Please reserve the dates - October 2-3-4 - and organize your trip to Geneva, Switzerland, for this is going to be one of the greatest extreme music festivals of the year.

More than 30 years and a bit after its first Black Metal band was born, a handful of activists from Geneva’s Underground culture are gathering to organize a major cultural event which focus is to rehabilitate and pay tribute to Black Metal, this hidden part of Switzerland’s musical heritage.

"Rehabilitating Swiss BM"....what a joke/insult. During the 1990s/2000s was indeed underground-activity in the Swiss BM scene, but it had not much to do with the Romandie and surely nothing with Geneva. So you should choose your big words carefully as a promoter, especially if one third of your bands are shit and one third not even BM.

"Activities for children and families".....go shoot yourself.

[Graf von Hirilorn]

Utterly ridiculous!

But this is the face of BM in 2014! Not rehabilitating, but degenerating...

[Bernard Gui]

"Le Black Metal et moi", "Activities for Children and families"...

Sinder eigentlich nümm ganz putzt?

[vampyr supersusi]

Genau, Gui, das klingt natürlich wirklich nach trve UG!

[Bernard Gui]

Ach, deine Ausführungen zum "substantiellen Existenzialismus" würden eigentlich noch ganz gut in eine "Le Black Metal et Moi"-Philosophenrunde passen...

[vampyr supersusi]

Nee. Meine Ausführungen hatten mit Familienfreizeit nichts zu tun.

[Bernard Gui]

davon redete ich auch nicht, sondern von "Le Black Metal et Moi"...

[vampyr supersusi]

Aha. Na wenn Du meinst...

[Imperial Warcry]

Mi regt das so uhuere uuf.

(nein, Susi, nicht du)

[vampyr supersusi]

Ah okay alles klar Imp. ... , ein Glück!

[Graf von Hirilorn]

Es ist, wie schon gesagt, das Abbild von dem, was das Inet aus dem sog. UG gemacht hat: Etwas das genauso für ALLE (including friends & family) jederzeit verfügbar ist wie ein HAMBURGER...

Und genau so schnell gefressen, ausgeschissen und vergessen...



Und es ist halt so...

(lebt damit, regt sich aber wenigstens trotzdem (auch) auf)

[Imperial Warcry]

Eigentlich schliessen sich ja die beiden Begriffe "Underground" und "Festival" gegenseitig aus.

Impfall.

[droningbones]

Hey. Looks like you have nothing else to do than criticize, again and again. Anyways, we are looking forward to this festival.

A playlist featuring all the bands of the festival is available over there for those interested:

[Graf von Hirilorn]

There's a big difference between criticising and pointing out the truth!
