Naxen & Wandar

Two powerful forces of German black metal unite for an intense night at Valhalla. NAXEN and WANDAR bring cold atmospheres, raging intensity, and deeply immersive soundscapes to the stage. NAXEN NAXEN is a black metal band from Münster, Germany, blending Scandinavian coldness, bleak Eastern European melodies, and the atmospheric intensity of the U.S. black metal scene. Following their debut EP To Abide in Ancient Abysses in 2018, they released Towards the Tomb of Times in 2020. Their latest album, Descending into a Deeper Darkness from 2024, presents the band at its darkest, most focused, and refined. Known for intense and immersive live performances, NAXEN have established themselves as a distinctive force in the new wave of German black metal. WANDAR Formed in 2006, WANDAR deliver dense and atmospheric black metal rooted in Scandinavian tradition and shaped by modern influences. Their music moves between raging intensity, painful melancholy, and ominous atmosphere, creating an immersive and emotionally charged experience. WANDAR have shared stages with bands such as Watain, Helrunar, Taake, Bethlehem, Der Weg einer Freiheit, Imperium Dekadenz, Eis, and Darkened Nocturn Slaughtercult. Every show is a ritual—intense, uncompromising, and deeply immersive.
