Underground Metal in the Oberlausitz

The Godless Mountain Open Air – GM-OA for short – is a young metal festival in the Oberlausitz region. Held in the Commerau (Klix) district of the Großdubrau municipality in the Bautzen district, the two-day festival has carved out its own niche in the German festival landscape since 2021: deliberately small, deliberately underground, deliberately promoting newcomer acts.

Ambition: Listening Pleasure for Metalheads

The festival organizers clearly state their ambition: a "listening pleasure for metalheads and lovers of handmade music". This means:

Diversity of metal subgenres: Black, Death, Thrash, Doom, Pagan, Folk Metal, among others.
Conscious promotion of newcomer bands – applications via the festival website.
A mix of established underground headliners and up-and-coming acts.
Compact festival atmosphere with two days of programming.

Klix and Großdubrau

Klix, a district of Großdubrau, is located north of Bautzen, on the edge of the Sorbian settlement areas. Here, in a landscape of forests and ponds, the festival sets up its grounds. Großdubrau in the Bautzen district is a Sorbian-German municipality that has become an unusual tourist magnet thanks to the annual metal festival.

Camping and Atmosphere

Camping is usually included in the ticket. The festival cultivates a family-like atmosphere – festival guests, organizers, and bands meet on equal footing. Anyone involved in the German metal underground has the GM-OA on their radar.
