Tuska unleashed the first batch of bands for the 2024 line-up and it seems they put their chips strongly on modern metal/metalcore with Bring Me The Horizon, Bloodred Hourglass, Bury Tomorrow, Make Them Suffer, Infected Rain and Fixation, proggy music with Opeth, Vola, Voyager and Riverside, and power metal with Alestorm, Angus McSix and Brothers Of Metal. And of course, festival regulars Amorphis and Stam1na belong to the party as well!

What do you think of the line-up already? Who do you hope to be added still?

Japanese groovy metal/rock outfit Hexvoid released the brand-new single ‘You got the garbage, Losers get out’, the first new music with the new lineup!

The last day of a long and exhausting weekend of great music and atmosphere was all about the Belgian music scene at La Morgue with Aeveris, Brutal Sphincter, Hexa Mera, Mantah and Reject The Sickness!

Second day at an exciting edition of Alcatraz with H.E.A.T., Sepultura and Biohazard on the main stage!

On the first day of Alcatraz 2023, La Morgue had a fine collection of Belgian bands, sludge, stoner and even psychobilly with A Goat As Our Shepherd, Gnome and Mad Sin!

Last week, NYC metal icons Prong announced their upcoming new album ‘State of Emergency’ to be released in October via Steamhammer/SPV and unleashed a first single with ‘Non-Existence’!
