Lineup
CATTLE DECAPITATION (San Diego, USA)
FFO : Technical Death Metal, Grindcore, Animal Rights.
Believe it or not, it has now been over twenty years since Cattle Decapitation has been waging an intense battle against animal abuse by condemning the human species. The Americans are known for smashing our faces with brutal Death Grind, and this is just a continuation with their latest album, *Terrasite*. The poachers of Lake Gruyère had better watch out...
RENDEZ VOUS (Paris, France)
FFO : Grunge, Post-Punk, Rock Alternatif.
We can finally stop longing. The French band is back with their second album, just a decade after their remarkable first EP. *Downcast*, a succession of tracks that leave behind their new wave influences for sounds and rhythms that are undeniably more grunge and garage than what Rendez Vous had accustomed us to. The strength of age? Perhaps!
BORGNE (Lausanne, Suisse)
FFO : Black Metal, Industrial, Misanthropie.
The return of the iconic and pioneering Swiss underground black metal band will take place at the Abyss! Borgne rekindles the fury after more than ten albums, often considered inaccessible and unconventional, and promises us a grumbling renaissance with their destructive instruments: mechanical blastbeats, keyboards, guitars, and icy vocals.
EMERALD (Düdingen, Suisse)
FFO : Heavy Metal, Iron Maiden, Warriors.
The return of our favorite Singinois and Singinoises will also mark the band’s 30th anniversary! The quest for the emerald continues its saga with traditional Heavy Metal soundtracks, where restless souls roam through warm nights, where the winning reaper reigns with his legion of fear.
IGGOR CAVALERA (Belo Horizonte, Brazil)
FFO : Electronic, Experimental, Sepultura
Iggor and his older brother Max Cavalera are the founding members of the Brazilian thrash metal band Sepultura. Since 2004, he has been a DJ and electronic music producer, touring the world and performing at festivals such as Glastonbury, Bestival, and Reading. Respected and often imitated for his creativity and underground vision, Iggor is preparing a unique electronic experience with modulars and percussion pads.
REVEREND BEAT-MAN (Bern, Suisse)
FFO : Blues Trash, The Cramps, Satan
The most terrifying and fiery One Man Band you can find on stage. Preacher from hell, electric demon, space bluesman. Touring around the world, Beat Zeller summons the ghosts of rock'n'roll like Screamin Jay Hawkins, GG Allin, Hank Williams... From the first notes, the spell will be cast on the Abyss Festival audience, and the “Jesus Christ Twist” will electrify the souls present.
...and much more to come!

Support Us
The Abyss Festival is a completely independent event, driven by passionate enthusiasts with the sole desire to share their love for rock and metal.
Revenue from bars and food stands, along with the incredible commitment of our loyal volunteers, helps us cover part of the significant budget for an event like this. But it is not enough, especially as we receive little financial support from public institutions.
Since the beginning of this decibel adventure, we have been fortunate to count on the invaluable support of many individuals and companies, happy to associate their name and image with a unifying event.
Feel free to contact us for any support.
