Servants of Chaos recap

"We saw lots of gear used to record the festival. It would be truly unique if we could play back the festival on YouTube or somewhere online. We would watch it over and over again!"

Nine months have passed since curtains closed on the first DMP Servants of Chaos gathering – organised in collaboration with Parasite Gallows - in Oberhausen, Germany, yet the weight of what unfolded still resists full comprehension. More than just a festival, it was a convergence of spirit, sound, and shadow.

Over two nights, the ineffable and singular artists – AKHLYS, ARCHGOAT, ARKONA, AVERSIO HUMANITATIS, DHG, EITRIN, LIGHT OF THE MORNING STAR, MÜTTERLEIN, PESTIFER, SLIDHR, THROANE, and ULCERATE – summoned something enduring that etched itself into all who attended.

For those who walked with us through those hours, and for those who could not, we are now proud to unveil the official Aftermovie – a glimpse into what was, and a whisper of what may come:

As testament to the memories forged during the gathering, we also wish to share some reflections from the SoC crowd in the festival's aftermath:

"Absolutely loved the festival. Perfect size, and good bands. I'm definitely coming back if there's another one!"

"I would like to hail the amazing merch crew here! Super friendly, patient and helpful. I can only imagine how hard it is to be there standing and taking care of each and every request, and weird-at-times questions, but these guys were flawless."

"I just want to say again how great it was to see longer sets than what I'm used to at metal festivals. All in all, a great festival for its size with nothing to complain about."

Additionally, both full concert and selected performance footage from several of the artists can be found via the below YouTube links:

Lastly, a limited number of ex-libris prints to honour each Servants of Chaos artist – designed by Førtifem and meticulously printed by Le 7e Œil – remain available, either individually or as a complete set, through our EU store.
