About this listen

Beyond the Gates 2025, held from July 30 to August 2 in Bergen, Norway, was a must-visit for metal fans. This iconic festival, set across historic venues like Grieghallen and USF Verftet, delivered a killer lineup with King Diamond’s first Norwegian show in 19 years, Paradise Lost, Misthyrming and more.

Featuring 18 bands making their festival debut and epic sets like Gehenna’s original lineup and Abbath tearing through Immortal’s discography, it was a diverse celebration of black, death, and heavy metal.

Fresh from Bergen, here’s my review of the thirteenth edition of Norway’s legendary festival.
