A message from Bethlehem's mastermind/bassist and sole original member, Jürgen Bartsch, has been shared regarding his health and Prophecy Fest. In January, Jürgen suffered a triple heart attack. More can be read below.

Statement from Jürgen: "On January 14, I suffered a triple heart attack and died twice on the way to the operating theater", says the Germans dark metal pioneers' bass player. "It was a fairly complicated heart attack that drastically reduced my heart's ability to pump - and made things like live performances or album production impossible for the time being. In the meantime, however, my health has improved to the extent that Bethlehem's performance at Prophecy Fest will take place - probably our only concert in 2023.

"The production of the new studio album will continue in late summer/autumn 2023, Karzov & Torturer already recorded their instruments earlier this year. Ever since Corona, we have been dogged by bad luck, but anyone familiar with Bethlehem knows that we will never give up; against all odds, we will celebrate our comeback as crazy jacks-in-the-box! Bet on it!"
