After last years show got prematurely concluded, I'm glad to see this festival making a recovery and trying again this year.

I'll definitely try to make a go at this again. First handful of bands have been announced and 3 day passes are already on sale. Extra precautions for ticket sales are being made in light of last year's events though. https://www.sepulchralproductions.com/p ... de-3-jours



Announced bands:
- Nargaroth (Germany, exclusive North American date)
- Enthroned (Belgium)
- Profanatica (USA, for the first time in Canada)
- Arkhon Infaustus (France, for the first time in North America)
- Baptism (Finland, exclusive North American date)
- Hetroertzen (Chile/Sweden)
- Gaahls Wyrd (Norway, playing an assortment of Ghaal material)
- Asagraum (Netherlands/Norway)
- One Master (USA)
- Sargeist (Finland)
- Behexen (Finland)
- Ifernach (Quebec, new band)
- Bois (Quebec, new band, unlisted on Metal Archives)

OP updated with some bands. Some interesting inclusions. I'll have to do some research listening for most of these.

If I'm going, it will be only for 1 of the 3 days as I think the lineup is super weak.

Yeah, I'm only familiar with three of these bands. They still have plenty of time to announce something huge, but I might only go two days anyway because my work schedule is going to pick up exponentially by Cyber Monday.

I'll be there again. Bought my tickets the day they went on sale.

Weak lineup, not sure I'll go this time.

We got Sargeist now. Still waiting for more. I already saw them in Maryland Deathfest this year and they were great plus Shatraug is a cool guy. Not sure I really need to see them again.

Bought a 3 day pass as soon as they went on sale as I enjoyed last year despite being robbed of a day. Interested to see Ghaals Wyrd as its a mix of Gorgoroth, God Seed, and Trelldom material. Hetroertzen was great at the North of the Wall fest in Glasgow. Sargeist and Behexen are great live. Wondering whats up with Arkhon Infaustus and what other bands will be added. This year Ill travel without my wife so I lose my translator but theres something fun about being surrounded by people who I cant communicate with. And poutine.

Are you kidding me? I can guarantee that everyone at the show who speaks French as their first language can also speak English.

So they announced the full bill of day 2 which means they can still get two more headliners as it's rather unlikely that Sargeist is headlining and they're the only other thing close to a "big band" announced thus far. The thing I'm pondering is this: where are the Sepulchral Productions bands?

Honestly wasnt my experience at the show or some other places in Montreal. I found it a little weird. Obviously there were some that spoke English but I do remember being in line when the festival was held up by protesters and I was asking a few people around me what was going on and they didn't know English (or pretended not to?)
