We have a little Christmas surprise for you – the cult Brno-based band Root will be performing at Basinfirefest 2026!

Few Czech bands have left such a profound mark on the global metal underground as Brno's own Root. Since their inception in 1987, they have undergone a fascinating transformation—from the raw, uncompromising black metal of their cult debut Zjevení to the epic, darkly atmospheric sound of albums like The Temple in the Underworld or the conceptual Kärgeräs saga. At the helm of this legend stands the unmistakable Big Boss, whose charismatic baritone and theatrical presence lend a ritualistic dimension to the music. Root is not just about aggression; their strength lies in sophisticated arrangements, heavy metal melodicism, and the ability to build tension without unnecessary chaos. Tracks like "Píseň pro Satana" or "Leviathan" are now genre anthems that resonate with fans across generations. At Basinfirefest, prepare for a lesson in dark history that, even after decades on the scene, has lost none of its spellbinding power and authenticity.
