Avantgarde Music FestivalFor over 30 years, Avantgarde Music has been at the forefront of the metal scene, championing unique and boundary-pushing artists. Now, we're thrilled to announce the first-ever Avantgarde Music Festival, taking place on Saturday, September 20th, 2025, at Legend Club in Milan.
= A Collaboration of Visionaries =
The Avantgarde Music Festival is proudly produced in collaboration with Occult Booking, an independent agency dedicated to promoting extreme and experimental underground music. Together, we aim to create an unforgettable experience that celebrates the diversity and creativity of the metal underground.
= A lineup never seen before =
This special event will feature eight incredible bands, including six from our roster and two exceptional special guests. Each of these shows will be unique.
🇳🇴 Dødheimsgard – one of the pioneers of avantgarde metal, a beacon and inspiration for generations of bands to come, playing one of their rare shows, the first one in Italy in almost fifteen years.
🌌 Mesarthim – the enigmatic cosmic black metal phenomenon that has captured hearts and minds worldwide will perform their only live show of 2025.
🇦🇺 Germ - has been silent for a long time, but Tim Yatras is a close friend and we are absolutely thrilled to announce that AM Fest will host the first Germ show since 2023 and their only exhibition of 2025!
🇮🇹 AD NAUSEAM needs no introduction: the masters of technical and dissonant death metal will lead us through their intricate structures on their ONLY live appearance this year.
🌍Defacement has been steadily growing their following and upping their game, incorporating new elements in their complex and challenging offering, making death metal a very partial description. The international band will release their new album in August, and our festival will serve as the official release party.
🇸🇮 Voices of Kamra is an obscure Slovenian black metal entity that delivered one of the most interesting yet overlooked records of 2022, will walk the stage to present their brand new studio record, to be released in September.
🇵🇱 🇮🇹 Amalekim - is a young band on the rise, a Polish/Italian black metal leviathan that recently released a new album, "Shir Hashirim", and embarked on a successful EU tour. Having them on stage was a no-brainer.
🇸🇪 Vrazorth - only appeared on the map in 2024, but so far the Swedish mysterious project has been able to nail a few absolutely stunning performances thanks to their mix of industrial black metal and strobe lights. A mandatory show for fans of Mysticum and deep space alike, Vrazorth's AM Fest appearance will be their first international gig.
Stay tuned as we unveil the rest of the lineup—expect a night of unforgettable performances and an atmosphere celebrating the power and beauty of underground music.
