German brutal surf death party metal band Stillbirth are unleashing their new album ‘Survival Protocol’ via Reigning Phoenix Music in October and shared a first single and hilarious video with ‘Baptized In Blood’!

From the amazing line-up of Tolminator 2025 we picked 10 acts we believe deserves your attention and time for you to check out at the festival if you’re there or at home if you’re not. A couple of them already played yesterday, like Vulvarine, High Parasite and Ghost Bath, but there is still plenty to discover and see with bands like Midnight, Cro-mags, Me And That Man, Party Cannon, Insanity Alert, Dopethrone and Mimi Barks!

Tolminator is already a quite unique and exceptional experience on its own, but they always seem to keep a keen eye on the scenes of different countries and know to pic some of the most promising acts for their line-ups. And this year, we get to welcome our friends of Marche Funèbre, Mordkaul and Brutal Sphincter to be part of the “Belgian Invasion”, but also 2 stellar acts from Finland with melodeath icons Omnium Gatherum and psychedelic black metal collective Oranssi Pazuzu!
