Under the Black Sun

Festival in Friesack, Germany, organized by Folter Records. It puts a strong emphasis on being a non-political festival with ad slogans like „Keep your politics out of Metal“, but it has a reputation in Germany of being less strict about bands or merch with ties to the NSBM scene on the festival site and lineup than other German BM-themed festivals.

In 2025, the concert of Thorybos sparked some controversy, resulting in a statement (on Facebook) by the organizers, which read like this:

As the show of Thorybos, especially a certain song and its introduction, sparked some controversy, we want to set some things straight. Therefore, upon private request on our behalf vocalist V. Tyrant answered:

„Well, plenty of our songs lyrically incorporate subjects, motifs, scenarios of ancient mythology, historical events & literary accounts from a broad variety of perspectives (Assyria, Carthage and the Punic Wars, Hellenistic Kingdoms of Eastern Anatolia,…). This particular one is inspired by the 1st century AD Roman Siege of Jerusalem, its title stemming from the inscriptions on the beautiful coin issues by Emperor Vespasianus. Therefore, I was technically correct. Any other interpretation is a creative effort of the interpreter alone, and not our problem.“

We hope, that clears things up.“

T.B. of Thorybos is quoted in the comments as this: „Black Metal is infected by woke people, we must reclaim our cult. This song is about killing jewish people.“ while announcing the Song „Iudaea Capta“.

Also in 2025, Ricardo Mota of Sardonic Witchery was wearing a patch of the German NSBM band Absurd on stage.
