2019 Copenhell crowd

Looks like 2019 Copenhell was my final Copenhell. I would have been there in 2020 and 2021 had they happened, but they didn’t. Covid killed not only those years but my summer job in Copenhagen as well.

Seeing who was playing at 2022 Copenhell made me super depressed (Mercyful Fate, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Suicidal Tendencies, Mastodon, Opeth, Devin Townsend, Emperor, Denial of God, Nyredolk, Redwood Hill, etc.), but the announced acts for 2023 so far aren’t having the same impact on me. Sure, I’d love to see Kellermensch again and a few others, but you couldn’t pay me to see Motley Crue or Def Leppard.

No Copenhell for me this year. This will be my first miss since 2015, and I would have been there the last two years (had they happened). So disappointing!

If I were going, I’ve highlighted the bands I would want to see on this schedule/running order. The really tough choice this year would have been deciding between Devin Townsend and Denial of God on Thursday night. Unless Devin Townsend was playing at another festival I was going to, I’d probably pick him as I saw Denial of God last summer, and I’ve never seen Devin Townsend before. However, that Denial of God show was soooo great…

Bersærk, Redwood Hill, and Svartsot is also a tough overlap. I’d go with Redwood Hill, though, as I saw the two other bands last summer as well.

Having Death to All, Xenoblight, and Gatecreeper at the same time is odd as they are somewhat similar.

The bands I wouldn’t miss a second of include Suicidal Tendencies, Nyredolk, Hällas, Vreid, Mastodon, Iron Maiden, Mercyful Fate, and ORM.

Timetable for Saturday of Copenhell 2022
