And as the festival season was nearing its end, Chaoszine returned to Sweden’s music capital to hit Göteborg Brinner — a massive new one-day metal festival created by legendary In Flames. Some of the highlights included major acts such as In Flames, Dark Tranquillity, Avatar, Thrown, Gaerea, Napalm Death, Raised Fist, Múr. Taking over the industrial Frihamnen, the festival turned the area into a true celebration of heavy music. With a strong lineup, two stages, and a unique atmosphere, its debut was a standout event for fans of Swedish metal!
