Copenhagen is the capital of Denmark and the largest city in Scandinavia with its population of 1.5 million people. It is quite a mystery that this amazing metropolis established 855 years ago and often mentioned as the Nordic Capital didn’t have an actual EXTREME METAL BAR, before LEFT HAND PATH opened in 2022.

LEFT HAND PATH is located downstairs of ZEPPELIN ROCK BAR – and if you want to visit LEFT HAND PATH, please use the entrance of ZEPPELIN ROCK BAR, walk up the stairs – and turn left (hand path) and walk down the stairs.

LEFT HAND PATH is the brainchild of music entertainment impresario and metalhead Michael H. Andersen and his team. In 2022 Michael celebrated his 30th anniversary in the music business, since releasing his first metal fanzine Emanzipation ‘zine back in the spring of 1992.

LEFT HAND PATH is showcasing over 30 years in the metal scene with focus on the extreme genres, death metal, black metal, doom metal, thrash and heavy metal. With special, rare items like rare demo tapes, 7″eps, posters and flyers from the vaults of Michaels own collection and beyond. It is place for an audience previously missing the opportunity and place to hang out and enjoy the extreme genres and lifestyle of metal.

Morten Varano, who besides running venues and bars like Rust, Whammy Bar etc. and re-designing Hotel Cecil, Gimle etc., was also involved in designing and building LEFT HAND PATH.

Morten says: “LEFT HAND PATH is a way of life for Michael and his close equally minded colleagues, friends and business partners. Often being mistaken by the Satanic meaning of the words, LEFT HAND PATH is about choosing another lifestyle than the average Joe, stand out from the crowd and trust in your own beliefs”.

LEFT HAND PATH is also the title of the iconic debut album of Swedish death metal legends, Entombed, and this underlines that this is the perfect name for this bar in Copenhagen, Denmark – dedicated to extreme metal.

The menu of LEFT HAND PATH offers a special selection of drinks, shots and craft beer to satisfy metal heads from all over the world.

The logo of LEFT HAND PATH is created by Christophe Szpajdel (Emperor, Arcturus, Borknagar etc.).
