Official press release:

2021 will be the year where 22 outstanding bands will be performing live at the very first edition of the virtual festival GRIM FEST 2021. The festival will be streamed on YouTube and shared to various social media portals, on Saturday, 14th August.

Sharing the festival with these talented bands we will be having 22 major music celebrities sending their special shout outs to both bands and fans alike. The idea behind this is to entwine both major and upcoming artists in a single showcase to deliver one simple message to:

“Stay Safe! Stay Metal! Each celebrity is coupled with an artist and will be delivering their message with each band performance.”

Some of the major celebrities partaking are: The Maltese nationals Noel Mifsud & Mike Bugeja (Rock DJ/Journalist), Frank Godla (Metal Injection), Sakis (Rotting Christ), Aaron Stainthorpe (My Dying Bride), Flegias (Necrodeath), Mariangela Demurtas (Tristania/Ardours), Tina Gunnarsson (Hexed), Axxel (Stallion), Marc Storace (Krokus), Guernica Mancini (ThunderMother), Rob Moschetti (M.O.D/Pro Pain), Marcelo Leal (Ill Niño), Trevor Strnad (The Black Dahlia Murder), Frank Calleja (Beheaded/Slit/It Came from the Desert), Diva Satanica (BloodHunter/Nervosa), Ingar Amlien (Crest of Darkness), Zel (Ancient), Jørgen Munkeby (Shining/Emperor), Justin Biggs (Sorcerer), Rob the Witch (Necronomicon) & Tony Dolan (Venom Inc). Industry professional Matt Bacon of Dropout Media will be presenting the fest!
