Beyond the Gates is an annual extreme metal festival that takes place every year in August in Bergen, Norway. The main stage is at USF Verftet, a refurbished sardine factory transformed into a venue.[1][2]

The festival took place after Hole in the Sky, a predecessor extreme metal festival which took place also in Bergen in August, ended.[3] The first edition of the festival took place in 2013.[4]

The curation at this festival is bonkers, and plays out like a who's who of Scandinavian icons. Watching the bands that started this crazy scene, in a city where much of its origin story takes place, is a pilgrimage any fan should absolutely take in their lifetime.
