Steelfest officially opens its doors in about 3 hours and let the madness start. Between your first beers and first riffs, take a moment to check our Day 2 must-see bands, going from a first show from industrial black supergroup Antihuman Industries, the return of ukrainian atmospheric black outfit Severoth, the live madness of Concrete Winds, a nightmare-fueled Akhlys and as closer a now already legendary show by underground icons Beherit! Tomorrow will be massive!
Sicksense are back with ‘Newsflash’, their hard-hitting new single marking the next chapter and hinting at more new music to come!
“Cruel Face of War” is packed with the headbanging riffs that Jungle Rot is known for, as well as technical precision. The quartet took their sound to a new level with the twelfth studio album, and the songwriting justifies the band’s legacy. Out via Unique Leader Records tomorrow on May 15th.
North Carolina progressive alt-metal outfit Stellar Circuits returned with powerful new single ‘Spotlight’, out with Nuclear Blast!
Less than 24 hours until Steelfest Open Air begins. First beers, first distortion, first chaos. With a bunch of excellent acts throughout the whole weekend, we like to highlight a handful of performances for every festival day you really shouldn’t miss. With on day 1 festival openers Evil Angel, the return of US black metal duo FIN, a once-in-a-lifetime 40th anniversary show from war metal icons Holocausto, old school Enthroned music with Sabathan and an absolutely relentless end of the day through Revenge — five very different ways to properly start a weekend of underground madness.
