Doom rock bands seemed to be more prominent at this year's Inferno Festival. Sweden's Witchcraft, who are out promoting their latest album, Legend, brought the house down during the Norwegian festival a couple of weeks back. The combo replaced fellow countrymen Ghost B...

Getting to interview doom legends Saint Vitus was my 4th "pinch me" moment in my 8 years of being a music journalist. The scene went down at Norway's Inferno Festival a couple of weeks back. Their set at Inferno was one of the festival's best...

While at Norway's Inferno Festival last weekend, Noisecreep had the pleasure of running into Moonspell vocalist Fernando Ribeiro. The Portuguese band was there for their second performance at the famed festival, and they delivered a breathtaking performance for the huge crowd in attendance...

No matter how many times I've caught them live throughout the years, Suffocation is one of those bands I'll never tire of. At least year's Inferno Festival in Norway, I was hoping that after seeing Autopsy turn in a crowd favorite performance, that the promoters would bring in a band like Suffocation to the main stage, and my wish came true last weekend...

After a brief touring hiatus while Satyricon were locked away in the studio working on new material, Inferno Festival was a triumphant return for the influential black metallers...

Once again, this year's Inferno Festival in Norway featured top-notch headliners such as Suffocation, Saint Vitus and Satyricon. But one of my favorite headliner performances this year came from death metal giants Deicide.

Devil is a band that I was curious about when I first moved to Oslo. I would always see Stian Fossum (guitars) out and about and I was told he played in a really great doom rock band, Devil. The name was simple enough so I went ahead and downloaded a few tracks from their 2011 album, Time to Repent...

If you were in Europe this past weekend, Inferno Festival 2013 was the place to be this Easter! Instead of spending a traditional Easter in California, I decided to go back to cold Oslo, Norway to see my friends, and most of all, to celebrate a very "black" Easter at the famed festival, which had one of the best lineups in their decade-plus history...
