Interview: HELLBØUND – Their Epic Wacken Open Air Performance and the Road Ahead
HELLBØUND storm Wacken Open Air – and tell all in an exclusive BadRock Radio interview
This summer, the fields of Wacken saw a Bulgarian invasion – and we brought home a trophy! Out of 12,633 bands who applied worldwide, only 30 made it to the Wacken Metal Battle finals. We were proud to stand among them, represent Bulgaria, and take 3rd place. In 20 minutes on stage, we unleashed six of our most powerful songs – from Burning in the Flame to Амортизация – and poured every ounce of energy into the crowd and the jury.
In an exclusive interview with BadRock Radio, we share the whole journey – from winning Metal Battle Bulgaria to performing in front of an international jury of 40+ industry pros. We talk about the intense rehearsals, meeting legendary bands backstage, unexpected moments in the famous Wacken mud, and the overwhelming support from fans and fellow musicians.
We also discuss the meaning of this achievement for Bulgarian metal, the prizes we brought home (yes, including a crash cymbal and mini amps!), and how Wacken opened new doors for shows, collaborations, and friendships around the world.
BadRock Radio gave us space to speak not only about Wacken, but also our history, how we write our songs, our album H.E.A.T, and what’s coming next.

Wacken was just the beginning. The road ahead is loud, heavy, and full of fire – and we can’t wait to see you there.
