MetalHearth Festival – 5ème édition

Two days, six bands, six ways to make metal resonate: get ready for an event that’s as intense as it is committed, where the decibels will also serve to highlight a very real urgency: that of preserving the oceans.

Concerts, stalls, videos, exhibitions and awareness-raising activities will punctuate this socially conscious weekend, with the participation of Surfrider Foundation France and Pass’Savant. On stage, six bands will each showcase their own vision of metal, ranging from black metal to industrial metal, via thrash and modern metal. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to partner charities.

Line-up:

- Friday 13th:
SETH — Melodic black metal
Pioneers of French black metal, they immerse themselves in dark, theatrical and majestic music, driven by French lyrics. Their world draws on darkness, spirituality and the downfall of religious symbols.

HEXEСUTOR — Black thrash metal
Hailing from Rennes, they blend the fury of thrash, the urgency of speed metal and the darkness of black metal. An old-school, fast and venomous mix, fuelled in particular by references to Breton history and legends.

BELORE — Epic black metal
With them, black metal becomes an invitation to journey. Epic riffs, majestic atmospheres and medieval-fantasy imagery combine to create music inspired by nature, legends and forgotten worlds.

- Saturday 14 November
DUST IN MIND — Modern nu metal
The Strasbourg-based band returns with *HCNO*, a darker, more direct and abrasive album. Blending modern metal, industrial influences and metalcore energy, it promises a powerful and unifying live show.

HEARTLAY — Industrial metal
Led by Aaron Sadrin, they blur the lines between modern metal, industrial and metalcore. Their music is cold, mechanical and cathartic, where sonic power and emotional tension converge.

KOZORIA — Modern metal
The band crafts modern metal featuring catchy riffs, massive choruses and contrasts between melodic and guttural vocals. Their music is both powerful and theatrical, drawing on thrash, death and progressive influences.
