The Manifesto
🔥🎸 The thrash spring storm is hitting Südpol! 🎸🔥
In the 21st century, thrash metal is experiencing a second spring. Whether it’s the young bands of the “New Wave of Thrash Metal” or the still-active thrash veterans from the eighties—there is currently no escaping the global thrash revival. And right in the middle of the mosh pit: Gods Brewery, bringing you the perfect liquid fuel for the night!
The Lost in Devotion Festival, organized by Metal Storm Concerts, brings a lineup to Lucerne that will shake the walls of Südpol to their core.
The Lineup of the Night:
- DUST BOLT (DE): At the absolute forefront of this spring onslaught, the German band Dust Bolt has been thrashing since 2007. With songs like “Ghost on My Screen” (2025) or their current single “Supergau,” they celebrate the physical energy, stomping rhythms, raw heaviness, and virtuosity of their musical home. Added to this is a dash of humor—the music video for “Supergau” was shot in a fitness center, as if the band wanted to say: If anything is an athletic challenge, it’s our high-speed metal!
- LOTRIFY (CH): Less thrashy but all the more groovy, Lotrify takes the stage, having already graced Metal Storm Concerts multiple times. The Swiss band fuses inspirations from various metal subgenres into songs that, despite their complex structures, remain thrilling, catchy, and, last but not least, damn danceable.
- THOLA (CH): The spring storm is completed by the Swiss melodic speed/power metal band Thola, combining the very best of classic heavy metal with modern elements.

The Tap List
Izanagi
The liquid essence of purity. An extremely crisp, dry Rice Lager, refined with the Japanese hop variety Sorachi Ace for an unmistakable lemon note.
Izanami
The velvety depth of the underworld. A complex Red Porter with malty sweetness, caramel notes, and a touch of Sorachi Ace as a link to creation.

Welcome to the void. Malakor is a massive, hazy DDH DIPA with Talus and Motueka. 8.2% pure rebellion against the silence of the wasteland.

Woe to you, oh Earth and Sea. For the Devil sends the beast with wrath because he knows the time is short... Let him who hath understanding reckon the number of the beast, for it is a human number. Its number is six hundred and sixty six.

The third rider of the apocalypse, Limos with his scales - bearer of scarcity, embodiment of the void, and personified famine. A deep black Black Ale, brewed for the darkness between the worlds.
