Desertfest Berlin 2025 Adds Eyehategod, The Devil and the Almighty Blues and Khan
The only real danger in posting the next three bands to be added to Desertfest Berlin 2025 a couple days late, I suppose, is falling behind. The flagship German edition of the world’s foremost heavyfest brand has three-at-a-time’d it now-three times since Sept. 25, and if they were to continue in this fashion until the full lineup is revealed, well, that’d be fine. I’ll do my best to keep up either way, and I’m all for shaking up the batch-at-once modus generally employed. In this hellish content-driven modernity, the more is apparently the merrier regardless, and somewhat unsurprisingly, Desertfest has been thoughtful in how it’s laid these things out so far.
To wit, this round is Eyehategod, The Devil and the Almighty Blues and Khan. Last announcement was Elephant Tree, Wine Lips and Kant. The first was Elder, Lowrider and Castle Rat. Each one is a mix of up and comers and acts likely to be higher on the bill. That’s the pattern to this point, and of course it could change, or not. Either way, nine bands in, Desertfest Berlin already looks pretty killer. If they put up three more bands before this goes live or it comes over the weekend, so be it.
From social media or wherever these things come from when I find them stoned:
Coming in hot and heavy: OUR NEXT BANDS FOR 🌵DFESERTFEST BERLIN 2025! 🌵
⚡️ EYEHATEGOD ⚡️
Get ready to dive into a world full of mayhem with sludge legends Eyehategod – notorious since 1988. Their music is a raw and unfiltered outcry, with lyrics questioning the system, all tied together with brutal riffs. With over 30 years of stage experience, their live performances are nothing short of intense. Eyehategod is here to guide you straight into the abyss!
⚡️THE DEVIL AND THE ALMIGHTY BLUES ⚡️
The heaviest of all Norwegian Blues Rock Bands joins Desertfest Berlin again! With a deep love for the old heroes of the blues – hand in hand with rock, metal, country and punk, The Devil and the Almighty Blues is armed with old Gibson guitars and tube amps. Their new take on blues rock is heavy without being metallic, slow without being doomy, bluesy without being boring. It’s slow, heavy, melodic and raw!
⚡️KHAN ⚡️
Khan meld hazy psychedelia and heavy stoner riffs with a penchant for progressive rhythms and almost dirge-like, industrial- scale crescendos. The songs are lyrically evocative, exuding a sense of despondency and melancholy. Vocally, their songs waver from ethereal falsetto and hypnotic crooning to impassioned wailing punctuated by occasional guttural screams.
Riff ‘till we die,
Your Desertfest Crew
