ABOUT

Furia is arguably one of the most creatively potent forces in the Polish scene today. While they remain the undisputed heavyweights of the black metal underground, the Katowice outfit has transcended the genre into an “open category,” earning widespread critical acclaim (including a Paszport Polityki nomination) and a massive, diverse following. Their discography is a masterclass in conceptual depth, featuring award-winning LPs like Księżyc milczy luty and Huta Luna, as well as site-specific live recordings like Guido (tracked 320 meters underground in a coal mine) and W Śnialni. Their integration into Jan Klata’s staging of Wyspiański’s The Wedding cemented their status as a trans-disciplinary powerhouse. At this year’s festival, they present “Furia gra kino” (lit. Furia plays cinema), a multisensory performance where their signature wall of sound meets haunting archival film imagery of Old Silesia.
