House of Metal Festival

House of Metal Festival 2026 takes over Umeå Folkets Hus in Sweden on November 6-7 for a weekend of extreme metal. This autumn edition features The Crown, Swedish veterans of death metal and melodic death metal, whose brutal thrash metal has shaped the Scandinavian scene since 1990. Intensity rises with FIRESPAWN, a death metal supergroup formed by members of legendary bands, delivering a devastating performance. Germany's THRON completes the bill with their explosive fusion of black metal and grindcore, bringing intense darkness to the event. In the dark atmosphere of Nordic November, House of Metal Festival offers total immersion in extreme metal, celebrating the Scandinavian roots of the genre with an uncompromising lineup that will delight fans of devastating riffs and relentless blast beats in the university city of Umeå.
