Hienas Fest celebrates its fifth edition, bringing a true sonic onslaught of heavy metal, crushing riffs, and pure acoustic power. If you are looking for an intense evening of thrash, groove, death, and the heaviest underground sounds, this gathering at Sala Terra in Castellón is an absolute must-attend.
Four bands to unleash the storm
Exodia
Since their formation in 2009 in Valencia, Exodia have rightfully earned their place as one of the benchmark names in national thrash metal. Over the years, their sound has evolved impeccably, combining the genre's classic speed and aggression with metalcore and death metal influences, recalling the great schools of metal.
Following such solid albums as Slow Death or Hellbringer, and having graced festival stages the size of Resurrection Fest or shared bills with top-tier international bands, the band returned in full force with their third album, Into the Mouth of Hell. Live, they are an absolute steamroller: dizzying riffs, sharp technical execution, and an onstage attitude built to wreck the front rows and spark mosh pits from the very first chord. A fundamental pillar for tonight at Sala Terra!
Under Cold Sun
Zero-kilometre heavy artillery to smash Hienas Fest V! ⚡🔥
Playing at home and straight out of Castellón de la Plana, we welcome Under Cold Sun. Formed in 2010, these veterans of the local scene stand as one of the most solid and respected propositions in the underground landscape thanks to their crushing Thrash Death Metal formula.
The Castellón quintet arrive at the festival ready to snap necks while showcasing tracks from their acclaimed latest studio album, White Silence. Prepare yourselves for a masterclass of the old school combined with modern aggression:razor-sharp riffs, a thunderous rhythm section, and brutal vocals. The mosh pit on home turf is going to be legendary!⚔️🛡️
Warsaw
Local fury and rawness to set Hienas Fest V on fire! ⛓️🩸
Playing on home turf and ready to unleash chaos, we welcome WÄRSÄW, one of the youngest, most dangerous, and most destructive acts to emerge from Castellón de la Plana. Born in late 2025 out of sheer frustration and noise, this trio brings a lethal mix: Black Metal with a punk soul.
Forget the posturing and pre-packaged speeches. Their sound is ugly, raw, fast, and straight for the jugular, drawing influences that range from Scandinavian crust to classic, underground black metal. Come prepared for an onslaught of pure rage, unpolished edges, and uncompromising sonic violence. WÄRSÄW don't ask for permission—they're here to wreck Sala Terra! 🏛️💥
Vaginal Kebab
Pure sonic filth for Hienas Fest V! 🐷🪓
Straight from the depths of Jumilla (Murcia) comes Vaginal Kebab, one of the most infamous and bizarre steamrollers of the national extreme scene. With over 15 years of experience shattering eardrums, this combo masters the art of the rawest, most direct, and uncompromising Goregrind and Grindcore. Prepare yourselves for a genuine discharge of underground black humour, crushing riffs, deathly growls, and a brutal stage presence. As they like to say:"Gastrogoregrind from your fucking toilet!" You've been warned, the mosh pit is going to be destructive! 🩸💥
