BFTP 2025 Line-up
Band Information
Medieval Steel
Formed in the early ‘80s in Memphis, Medieval Steel became known for their iconic track “Medieval Steel” and their no-frills, powerful heavy metal sound. After decades of building a loyal fanbase around the world, they’re finally making their Belgian debut — and we’re honored to have them!
Toxikull
Portugal’s Toxikull, fronted by brothers Lex Thunder and Michael Blade, delivers classic heavy metal with touches of speed and thrash. 🤘 Their music is inspired by legends like Ozzy Osbourne, Dio, Judas Priest, Accept, and many more. 🔥 The duo has quickly risen in the European underground metal scene, with razor-sharp performances on every stage. 💥 They’ve toured Europe and opened for major acts like Exciter, Angelus Apatrida, and Crystal Viper. 🎤🎶 They’re ready to rock the Belgian crowd at the Blast from the Past Festival! 🇧🇪🤘
ADX
French heavy/speed metal legends ADX are bringing their furious riffs and epic, history-inspired lyrics to the stage! Formed in 1982, these veterans still hit hard — just listen to their latest album L’Empire du Crépuscule (2024)!
Thorium
Belgian heavy metal force Thorium delivers classic twin-guitar attacks with a modern twist! Featuring members from Ostrogoth, Magic Kingdom, and Lord Volture, this band is steeped in metal history and forged for the stage! 🎸🇧🇪
Opium Heathen
𝗢𝗽𝗶𝘂𝗺 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻 (𝗕𝗘) is a doom/stoner trio out of Mechelen, formed in 2015. Their sound is rooted in the darker corners of ‘70s heavy rock, layered with sludge and slow-burning psychedelia. Gritty, hypnotic and loud by design. With Mel Pirquin on guitar and vocals, Gianni Vuylsteker on bass and Thomas Pultyn behind the drums, they’ve carved out a live reputation built on weight and atmosphere. No frills, no polish — just raw power and deep grooves. At Blast From The Past, expect to be pulled into the swamp and left there buzzing.
