Debut edition set for 26-27 June 2026 in the historic port city of Szczecin, Poland

Early Bird weekend tickets on sale now

More bands to be announced

Tickets: https://hellsbells.pl/

Szczecin, Poland; 26 January 2026: Hells Bells Festival has unveiled the first wave of bands for its debut edition in the heart of Szczecin in Poland. Taking place across 26-27 June 2026 at the scenic Plac Gryfitów on Łasztownia – a historic island district in Szczecin known for its iconic “Craneosaurs” (historic port cranes) and stunning views of the Oder River – the festival will deliver a mix of international legends, top domestic acts and younger new bands.

The first wave of confirmed bands is led by the absolute titans of Polish death metal, Vader. Known globally as pioneers of the genre, Piotr “Peter” Wiwczarek and his cohort return to Szczecin for a highly anticipated performance, ending a long absence from the city’s stages to deliver a set of pure carnage. 

Joining them are British hardcore punk icons, Discharge. As the architects of the D-beat style and the legendary 1982 classic “Hear Nothing See Nothing Say Nothing”, their appearance completes the “Big Three” of British punk in Szczecin, following recent visits from The Exploited and GBH.

The announcement is bolstered by two further legendary Polish names. Dezerter, the pioneers of Polish punk rock, will celebrate their 45th anniversary at the festival. Following the release of a new studio album in February 2026, fans can expect a career-spanning set ranging from foundational hits to fresh anthems. 

Finally, Furia will bring their hypnotic and boundary-pushing black metal to the Łasztownia waterfront. This appearance is currently the band’s only confirmed festival set for the 2026 summer season. It follows the band’s recent, highly acclaimed “Furia gra kino” (Furia plays cinema) performances, which saw the band perform live to archival film material.

Early Bird weekend tickets are available now via the official festival website until the 9th of February or until they sell out. In addition to standard passes, the festival offers reduced rates for minors (ages 13-18) and special family tickets (for children under 13 with a guardian).

FURIA – To Take Their Unique Black Metal To The Cinema This April

A unique music and film project to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Silesian Film Archive in Katowice

Images of Silesian cities recorded on film tape, history, tradition, everyday life, industrial heritage. Cinematic alchemy of image, music and Silesian spirit.

Only a few tickets left for the second concert on 6th April. Tickets for the 5th April concert sold out in 2 (!) days

Polish black metal titans Furia will take part in a unique project on 5th and 6th April at Kinoteatr Rialto for the 25th anniversary of the Silesian Film Archive in Katowice, Poland. Furia will play its songs accompanied by unique materials from the only regional film archive in the country. 

The band has chosen archival films, which show, among other things, how the Silesian region was created and developed, how the legendary Spodek in Katowice was built, how life changed in Silesian cities and towns. We will also see artistic impressions inspired by the industrial landscape of the region or local crafts; recorded on film tapes, full of nostalgia, images of ordinary life: everyday activities that our grandparents, parents or ourselves engaged in years ago. 

During this anniversary concert, we will see materials from the Silesian Film Archive, which Furia will illustrate with compositions from its albums, transferring the images of old Silesia to a completely different, surprising and hypnotising dimension.

Furia is one of the most original Polish black metal bands. The band was formed in 2003 in Katowice by vocalist and guitarist Michał “Nihil” Kuźniak. The band also includes Kamil “Sars” Staszałek (bass), Grzegorz “Namtar” Kantor (drums) and Artur Rumiński (guitar, since 2013). Furia has several album releases under its belt, performances in Japan, Romania, UK, at OFF Festival and at the Primavera Sound Festival in Barcelona, among others; a nomination for the “Polityka” Passport and cooperation with Jan Klata and the Krakow Stary Theatre on the adaptation of Stanisław Wyspiański’s “Wesele”. An important source of inspiration for the Katowice band is the tradition, culture and art of Upper Silesia: its mythological universe, to which they willingly and often refer in their work (e.g. “Guido”, “W Śnialni”).

The Silesian Film Archive was established 25 years ago in Katowice and is run by the Silesia Film Institute. It is the first and only regional film archive on the cultural map of Poland. Located in the basement of the Kosmos Cinema in Katowice, the Film Archive is mysterious because the relatively little-known space is filled with traces of film history. There you will find stills, posters, scripts, press clippings and over 10,000 film copies. Above all, thousands of old film material (including 8 mm, 16 mm and 35 mm tapes), especially those related to the subject of Upper Silesia. The Film Archive carries out its mission by collecting, storing, restoring, digitising and making available old film materials. www.filmotekaslaska.com

FURIA And BLOODTHIRST To Tour Poland With SAMAEL

Posted in Black Metal, Metal, Music, rock music with tags , , , , on June 12, 2015 by Metal Odyssey

Samael - Furia - Bloodthirst - promo tour flyer - Poland - 2015 - November

The legendary Swiss act Samael will visit Poland on four dates this November. The band will be celebrating their cult album Ceremony of Opposites (1994) by performing it in its entirety. Support on these dates will come from two Pagan Records bands that have already performed together plenty: Furia and Bloodthirst. Dates and ticket info below.

To the black metal connoisseur, Furia should not need an introduction. They are one of the most important bands to come out of the Polish underground in the last ten years and their latest release, Nocel, has received overwhelming praise with No Clean Singing calling it “a fascinating album that won’t grow old quickly” while Zero Tolerance Magazine named it “an eccentric BM album with something for everyone”.

Check out Nocel via Bandcamp: https://paganrecords.bandcamp.com/album/nocel

Calling themselves “hateful antichristian thrash”, Bloodthirst deliver just that and some more: their thrash consists of angry and brutal black metal with a few drops of that old-school Swedish death metal which we all love. With three full-lengths under their belts, the band has become an important name in the Polish underground. Their latest release is Chalice of Contempt (2014) and should be tasty for fans of Aura Noir, Desaster and Destroyer 666.

Check out Chalice of Contempt via Bandcamp: https://paganrecords.bandcamp.com/album/chalice-of-contempt
