Words of Farewell - Dong Open Air 2023

What power metal is to Hamburg, melodeath is to the Ruhrpott. Words of Farewell and the Dong simply happen to be a match made in heaven, so it’d just be plain wrong, not to invite the demolition crew around front man Alexander Otto for another dance. If you don’t know the band yet, be advised: Words of Farewell don’t do compromise. Instead, their multi-vocal Gothenburg sound brings together proggy guitar arrangements, keyboards and brutal growls.

Clean vocals? Negative! The Marl based Sweden death commando uses their new EP “Inner Universe” - which earned them rave reviews in the press - to blast their distinctive sound right through the eardrum into your cerebellum.

Side effects may include, but are not limited to: complete exhaustion in the moshpit, neck pain of death, and immense thirst for beer!
