More than twenty years have passed since the metal world lost one of its biggest icons, Thomas âQuorthonâ Forsberg of Bathory.
Thomas âQuorthonâ Forsberg was instrumental in redefining metal as we knew it. With the seminal 1984 debut, âBathoryâ, Quorthon single handedly laid the foundation of what has become the world-renowned phenomenon, that is black metal. There was Venom before him, but musically he laid out the blueprint for myriads of bands that followed, especially from Scandinavia, in the coming decades.
Upon his passing a wide array of celebrated musicians from the Norwegian black metal scene was summoned to pay their tribute to the fallen pioneer. At the annual Hole in the Sky festival in Bergen, Norway, musicians from bands like Darkthrone, Emperor, Enslaved, Satyricon, Immortal, Gorgoroth and Aura Noir performed a carefully selected set of Bathory classics that helped shape the sound of the Norwegian scene.
At Incineration Festival, Blood Fire Death â A tribute to Quorthon and the Music of Bathory will feature the same band that fronted the 2024 edition on the 20th anniversary of Quorthonâs passing at Beyond the Gates festival:
Erik Danielsson (Watain) â vocals
Ivar BjĂžrnson (Enslaved) â guitar
Blasphemer (Vltimas, ex-Mayhem) â guitar
Apollyon (Aura Noir) â bass & vocals
Faust (Djevel, ex-Emperor) â drums
In addition to the band, the concert will feature guest singers and musicians such as Grutle (Enslaved), Gaahl (Trelldom, ex-Gorgoroth) and Frederick Melander (ex-Bathory) along variety of other exclusive guests that will be announced later.
The show is based on Quorthonâs own vision of how he pictured a Bathory concert would look like should he ever bring his music to the live stage.

At Incineration Festival, we are honoured to bring such a monumental show to the United Kingdom.
This day will go down in black metal history.
Tickets for Incineration Festival 2026 will sell out, so we urge all to buy early and avoid disappointment.
