BAEST brings its “Ozzy death metal” sound to Dürer Kert
The Danish band BAEST is one of Europe’s most promising metal acts, and with their album Colossal, released last year, they made a huge leap toward international recognition. Their explosive, often genre-bending music is described simply as “Ozzy death metal” and we’ll soon be able to hear exactly what that means live on September 24 at Dürer Kert.
The Danish five-piece was formed in Aarhus in 2015, and has evolved from an emerging death metal act into a boundary-pushing band that bridges multiple genres. Their discography includes Danse Macabre (2018), Venenum (2019), Necro Sapiens (2021), and last year’s Colossal (2025), which brought them their breakthrough. The album, produced by Tue Madsen (The Haunted), earned international acclaim for its blend of classic heavy metal, rock-driven energy, and progressive elements. Metal Hammer Germany even named Colossal “Album of the Month,” calling it a “colossal achievement.”
BAEST’s reputation is largely built on their overwhelming live performances. They haven’t been sitting still: the band has played more than 350 shows and shared the stage with acts such as Arch Enemy, Fit For An Autopsy, Krisiun, Abbath, and Entombed A.D., among many others. They have also performed at festivals including Wacken Open Air, Bloodstock, Kaltenbach, and Copenhell.
Their growing international reputation is further proven by the fact that their songs have been streamed millions of times, and they have received several professional accolades, including five GAFFA Awards (one of Scandinavia’s most prestigious music awards). With Colossal, BAEST has stepped beyond genre boundaries, creating what they call “Ozzy death metal”: a catchy, riff-driven yet often boundary-pushing sound.
In recent years, BAEST has become one of Scandinavia’s most innovative and promising metal bands, and now it’s time for audiences “down south” to pay closer attention. There will be a perfect opportunity to do just that on September 24 at Dürer Kert. Tickets are already available at www.livenation.hu and www.funcode.hu.
