Epic doom metal legends Candlemass are coming to conquer Crete!
The iconic Swedish pioneers will headline Over the Wall Festival IX,
delivering a once-in-a-lifetime performance on the island for the very first time.
From the genre-defining Epicus Doomicus Metallicus to their latest powerful releases,
Candlemass have carved their name deep into the history of heavy metal.
For over four decades, Leif Edling’s legendary band has shaped the sound of doom and continues to mesmerize audiences worldwide
with their massive riffs, dark atmosphere, and commanding stage presence.
This is more than a show — it’s a historic moment.
One of the most anticipated highlights not only of the festival, but of the entire island.
Because Crete demands it…
…and Heraklion will deliver.
KAIVS, inspired by the classic early ’90s Stockholm death metal sound,
make a crushing entry with their debut EP “Horrend” (2023) and their first full-length album “After The Flesh” (October 2024, Brutal Records).
Hailing from Rome, the band has signed with Brutal Records and is ready to unleash pure, unfiltered death metal:
crushing riffs, savage vocals, and relentless intensity.
Featuring artwork by Juanjo Castellano and produced at Kika Studios,
KAIVS are not just reviving the past — they’re carving their own path of darkness.
Prepare for total death metal devastation.
