On a night when light retreats before shadows, Vintage Industrial Bar becomes a temple of darkness. On that day, Zagreb will host a ritual of sound and vision, where dreams turn into nightmares and music into magic. Two entities from the depths of the subconscious take the stage!

From the shadows of Colorado comes Akhlys, a project by Naas Alcameth, known for the bands Nightbringer, Aoratos and Bestia Arcana. Akhlys is not just music — it is a vision, it is a dream that turns into a nightmare. Their sound is a fusion of dark ambient and black metal, shaped as a ritual, as an astral projection through dimensions that do not know light. Their first album, Supplication (2009), was a pure ambient journey through inner landscapes, while The Dreaming I (2015) marked a transition into black metal — an album that sounds like it was recorded in a dream, in a world where time doesn’t exist.
With Melinoë (2020), Akhlys reached the pinnacle of hypnotic aggression, an album that is at once demonic and elegant, like a ghost dance. The latest release, House of the Black Geminus (2024), is introspective and esoteric, a musical labyrinth in which you get lost and not found.

From the Zagreb catacombs, from the forests that never bloom, comes Frozen Forest — a band that has been nurturing raw, ritualistic black metal since 2005. Their releases, such as Ancient Ritual, invoke the spirits of the past, but also forebodings of the future. Demos, splits and limited editions, often handmade, testify to their dedication to underground aesthetics and philosophy.
