On Sunday, June 25, 2023, in the Athens Olympic Sports Center, the strongest music festival in the Greek capital took place again with the sensational AthensRocks concert experience.
Ghost of Papa Emeritus IV and Nameless Ghouls performed as part of Imperatour, and proved to the audience why they are considered the most popular metal band in recent years. After all, among their declared fans are Dave Grohl and James Hetfield, while they entered the average American home with an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel’s show. Aside from the sui generis theatrics, the mystery surrounding their identity and the debate over whether they’re metal after all, the Swedes at the end of the day play a great feel-good musical idiom that speaks to both Gen Z and those who grew up in the glorious ’80s.
Also performing at the AthensRock festival was the epic Candlemass, a historic band with a fanatical following and one of the big four of doom metal, who joined their compatriots in creating the ultimate metal line-up this summer at the AthensRocks festival.
Studio Berar was in charge of the construction and the stage.
