Pure Fucking Metal FestEvil

Metal in the Woods

The Pure Fucking Metal FestEvil is an underground metal festival held at the Waldgasthof Hart, Hart 1, in Laberweinting, Lower Bavaria, in the district of Straubing-Bogen. The manageable grounds nestled in the woods can accommodate around 350 visitors, creating an intense, familiar atmosphere typical of the Extreme Metal scene.

»By Fans for Fans«

The festival explicitly sees itself as an event »by fans for fans«. Instead of large commercial stages, the focus is on the music, the community, and the shared experience. Camping is available free of charge directly on the festival grounds, emphasizing the festival character of a weekend among like-minded individuals.

Uncompromising Lineup

Programmatically, FestEvil focuses on Death, Thrash, and Extreme Metal. The stages feature both internationally renowned bands from the scene and underground and emerging acts – a mix that has made the festival known beyond the region among die-hard metal fans.

Lower Bavarian Underground Institution

With its rustic Waldgasthof ambiance and consistent focus on heavy sounds, the Pure Fucking Metal FestEvil is a fixture in the Lower Bavarian festival summer and a deliberately small, sweat-drenched alternative to Germany's major metal open-airs.
