Following the release of “Despondency Chord Progressions” earlier this year, the South American project Selbst will bring its music to a UK stage for the very first time with a UK debut and exclusive set.

Celebrating the 10th anniversary of its debut album “Syner”, Grift will perform the album in full with a UK exclusive set.

Perennial Isolation will perform its iconic 2021 album “Portraits” in full in what will be a UK debut and exclusive performance from the Barcelona-based atmospheric black metal band.

Akhlys said: “Akhlys is honoured to take part in Fortress Fest 2025. We will bring our brand of darkness to a region we have never been before, and I couldn't think of a more fitting festival to do this.”
