Prophecy Fest announces KALL performing LIFELOVER ‣ CVLTARTES

Prophecy Fest 2025 announces a special concert from Kall. In addition to their regular show the Swedes will perform a second set with songs from Lifelover.

Also, 2025 would have been the 20th anniversary year of the legendary depressive black metal act from Stockholm. Given that Kall rose from the ashes of Lifelover and include former members of the latter, grants this tribute legitimacy.

Martin Koller comments: “Having Kall as the legitimate heirs of Lifelover in the cave obviously asked for a special performance”, the founder of the fest writes. “We are thrilled and admittedly a bit proud that Kall have agreed to do just that at Prophecy Fest 2025. This will be a rare treat and we intend to announce more soon.”

Prophecy Fest 2025 will bring dark, forward thinking music with an attitude to one of the world’s most fascinating cultural locations, the legendary, natural Cave of Balve (“Balver Höhle”). The three-day event will commence on Thursday, September 11 and it will conclude with a final concert starting before midnight of Saturday, September 13. The price for a 3-Day-Pass 2025 has been set at 149 € (plus service charge).

These acts have now been confirmed, with many more bands to be added in due time (in alphabetical order): Arthur Brown, Dornenreich, Kall, Soror Dolorosa, The Vision Bleak.

Prophecy Fest was founded in 2015 and sold out its first edition. This singular event for dark and innovative music takes place in the Balver Kulturhöhle (“Balve culture cave”) in the Hönnetal (“Valley of Hönne”) near the town of Balve in the Sauerland region of the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia.

The naturally formed karst cave has been used by humans since the early Stone Age (palaeolithic). This important archaeological site has yielded remains from many periods through the ages until medieval times. According to Germanic legend as told in the old Icelandic Thidreksaga, the mythical blacksmith Wayland came to this cave to learn his magical craft from the dwarven masters that were dwelling there.

The gravity of its history and the special acoustics of the Balver Cave provide a unique atmosphere that perfectly echoes the musical spirit of Prophecy Fest.
