Västerås Doomfest 2025 Announces Lineup

Fitting that Västerås Doomfest 2025 should announce its lineup right before the New Year hits, as that was how the Swedish newcomer festival announced its first edition last year too. The 2024 Västerås Doomfest was held in June — as the 2025 one will be — and was headlined by Domkraft10,000 Years, who are also part of making the thing happen behind the scenes, are the only returning act, and fair enough. Switchblade top the 2025 bill, with Alastor10,000 Years as noted, Eyes of the OakKLPS, El Gordo and Fatherus rounding out the seven-band all-dayer set for June 7. Looks like a good time if you like having your face blown out with volume. So, yes, a good time.

Tickets are available, as the festival posted on socials:

O’Learys Västerås presents, in collaboration with Merchprint and Death Valley Productions: Västerås Doomfest 2025!

After a successful debut festival, on June 7, 2025 it is once again time for all worshipers of the Riffet to go to Västerås and the second edition of VästeråS Doomfest.

Space on stage for:

SWITCHBLADE

Switchblade has been a fundamental bolt in the Swedish, and international, underground since 1997 and the name has no respect wherever one turns. Switchblade has been called everything from sludge metal and drone to avant-garde but we just know it’s damn heavy, damn slow, and damn good. And with seven albums, countless gigs and nominations for both Grammis and Manifest in the luggage, it is undeniably a fine visit of rank that is needed when Switchblade takes over Västerås Doomfest 2025. That it is their first live performance since 2023 (and the first time in Västerås since 2001…. ) does not make the exclusivity less directly.

ALASTOR

Sweden’s number one digger. With a heavy mind and murder in sight Alastor carves out reef-worshiping doom that is equal parts leady and melodic and packed with hooks to die for. And die you learn to do when these gentlemen invite you to black fair.

10,000 YEARS

Can you have a husband as early as the second year? At least we have 10,000 Years and after their ecstatic performance last year, it feels great that they will take the stage in 2025 with their crushing stoner metal.

EYES OF THE OAK

From the dark forests of Sörmland, the oak sweeps its gaze and finds a fresh, innovative interpretation of a proven grip. Progressive stonerdoom has a face, and that face is Eyes of the Oak

KLPS

Postmetal with hardcore vibes in the border between Cult Of Luna and Neurosis where the beautiful frontal rocks with it in all the inherent darkness. With a new plate in the forthcoming steam, KLPS (formerly Kollaps\e) over everything in its path.

EL GORDO

After several years of hibernation, El Gordo started the diesel unit again in 2022 and is now back with full power. Let the desert dust whip over you and enjoy when stoner frock of the most classic cut is delivered as if the calendar still showed the turn of the millennium.

FATHERUS

Vasterås own Fatherus likes his stoner airy and with big scoops Seattle. Throw on some QOTSA swing and a generous dose of fuzz pedals and you’ve got a swinging moment ahead.
