BAEST has cemented their place as a leading force in modern metal since their explosive debut, Danse Macabre (2018). Featuring an all-original lineup of Sebastian Abildsten (drums), Simon Olsen (vocals), Lasse Revsbech (guitars), Mattias Melchiorsen (bass), and Svend Karlsson (guitars), the band has been celebrated for their crushing riffs, relentless energy, and commanding live performances.
Their three critically acclaimed albums—Danse Macabre (2018), Venenum (2019), and Necro Sapiens (2021)—along with the GAFFA Award-winning EP Justitia (2022), have garnered millions of streams and praise from leading metal outlets like Metal Hammer and New Noise Magazine. Singles such as “Genesis” and “Ecclesia” showcase their groove-heavy yet brutal approach to extreme metal, with Metal Hammer calling Necro Sapiens “[a] solid slab of brutish, no-nonsense riffery.”
Known for their electrifying live shows, BAEST has played over 350 concerts, captivating festival audiences of up to 35,000 at events like Wacken Open Air, Brutal Assault, and Bloodstock. They have toured with metal legends such as Krisiun, Abbath, and Entombed AD, bringing their ferocious sound to fans across Europe. BAEST’s ferocity and ambition continue to set them apart as one of Scandinavia’s most promising metal acts.
