Band Line Up 2018

Skybrudd delivers dark, melancholic music with relentless live performance. 

The Norwegian band invites the audience adventurous journey through dark catacombs with their heavy, sluggish rhythms and hard-hitting vocals, further into cold and inhospitable groves where hard, piercing riffs and sinister lyrics bear witness of pain and suffering, before one is finally guided towards the light – a glade in the mighty forest, a transient where alluring harmonies mask the trauma and pain. All while still reminding you that the worst is yet to come. 

Skybrudd´s soundscape can best be described as a melting pot where doom, sludge, black metal and all that is dark, malevolent and agonizing is merged into a massive, heavy and dark matter. The music comes across as immense and complex, while simultaneously comprehensible and captivating. Their stage performance is energetic and playful, leaving room for minor improvisations and variations making every live concert a unique experience. 

The name Skybrudd derives from a weather phenomenon where extreme amounts of rain appear without warning, often causing floods and destruction. Adopted as a metaphor for self-hatred and depression, this clearly influences Skybrudd´s sound and artistic expression. 

We are very excited to play the Newblood stage at this year’s Bloodstock Open Air! This is a grand opportunity for us to show the Bloodstock audience what we are made of. We promise to put on an amazing show that you will not regret seeing!
