Hellirinn Metalfest

Hellirinn Metalfest was a project started by ReykjaDoom where the goal of the show was to have a free metal event for all ages. We aimed to bring a diverse lineup of young bands with a cherry picked lineup of some of the best bands from the scene, new and old.

The venue TÞM was an old staple in the music scene where all the organizers had their first experience in local and foreign metal music.

 

TÞM / Tónlistarþróunarmiðstöðin at Grandi had for over 20 years or since 2003 provided rehearsal rooms for musicians from all styles and the concert hall Hellirinn had seen its share headbanging over the years where some of the now legendary bands of the scene first cut their teeth.

 

For a few years the concerts in Hellirinn slowed down to a halt but in 2021 the venue upgraded to a new soundsystem, better stage and equipment.

We felt like the younger generation today should have had access to its healthy dose of live metal music!

The last event was held in 2025 as Hellirinn will finally close in early 2026.
