Rotting Christ

Day 3 at Tolminator had it all, chaos, doom, filth, and ritual. Insanity Alert, Ahab, Dopethrone, Wolfbrigade, and Rotting Christ tore up the main stage!

Ohio’s brutalists Sanguisugabogg are back and more putrid than ever and recently shared the NSFW video for the single ‘Repulsive Demise’, another track from their upcoming album ‘Hideous Aftermath’, out next month via Century Media!

The Plot In You rolled into Fort Wayne, Indiana bringing along a metalcore rager to Piere’s with a lineup of Northlane, Invent Animate and Windwaker!

After an 18-year silence on the album front, CLAWFINGER are finally back – louder, sharper, and more defiant than ever! With ‘Ball & Chain’, they unleash another track from the upcoming album ‘Before We All Die’, out February 20, 2026 on PERCEPTION – A Division of Reigning Phoenix Music, fusing relentless riffs and raw energy with frontman Zak Tell’s unflinching honesty.

Cro-Mags

Day 2 at Tolminator was pure chaos and contrast! From Fulci and Midnight to Cro-Mags, Villagers of Ioannina City, and Cradle of Filth, our intern photographer Nox caught it all on the main stage!

Omnium Gatherum

TLMNTR

Tolminator isn’t just about the main stage. Dive into the Beach & DIY vibes with shots of Unlocked, Stagewar, Nihilo, Marche Funèbre, Party Cannon, and TLMNTR, all captured by our intern photographer Nox!

Kreator

Tolminator 2025 started strong on the main stage with sets from Warbringer, Omnium Gatherum, High Parasite, Angelus Apatrida, and the mighty Kreator. Our intern photographer Nox captured the action, dive into the gallery from Day 1!

From underdogs to deathcore giants, Lorna Shore have done it again. Their new album ‘I Feel The Everblack Festering Within Me’ is an absolute monster, packed with filthy breakdowns, blackened atmospheres, and a bunch of epic, nearly 10-minute journeys that push the genre’s limits. We dove deep into this beast for our full review and for now, it’s already a strong contender for album of the year 2025, out with Century Media Records tomorrow September 12!

Tolminator atmosphere

Tolminator isn’t just about the bands. It’s about the people who make it unforgettable. This year, our team (with trainee Nox and resident photographer Tom) captured the heart and soul of the festival: the faces, the chaos, the calm by the Soča river.
