Founded by Den Dimitrov in 2003, Day 40 has long been a force in the Underground Metal scene. Hailing originally from Bulgaria, Dimitrov is a pioneer of Death Metal in Eastern Europe, having cemented his legacy with "Pieces From Reality", a revered Underground classic with his former band Brainstorm.
Since 2012, he has been joined by bassist Stefan Minev, solidifying the band’s core and fuelling their relentless sonic assault.
The band’s most powerful line-up to date now includes Hugo Terva, a drumming powerhouse known for his work with Death Valley Knights and for touring Europe with the classic American Speed Metal act Savage Grace. Adding even more firepower is guitar virtuoso Nikolay Atanasov, a former member of the legendary Speed Metal band Agent Steel and current shredder for German New Wave of Thrash Metal pioneers Rezet.
The band has a history of festival headlining shows. Their most recent show took place at the legendary Cart & Horses in London - The Birthplace of Iron Maiden, at which they promoted their current release, "The Yellow Emperor" EP.
