After the tragic and unexpected loss of Mr. Phil Campbell early in 2026 his sons Tyla, Todd and Dane decided to honour their dad by keeping his project alive. Slightly renamed from PHIL CAMPBELL AND THE BASTARD SONS to PHIL CAMPBELL’S BASTARD SONS and featuring Julian Jenkins (also known from being the vocalist of British metal band FURY) on vocals they still have the power to turn goat p*ss into gasoline!

The night was opened by local heroes JAKE & THE CONVOLUTION. Their performance was a perfect entry into the night. Supported by a large number of local supporters, the 4-piece lit up the mood as well as the indoor temperature of the night. Definitely worth looking for their upcoming appearance, even more considering that they missed their regular guitarist Nico Schliemann.

Sharp at 21:00 CET a different kind of hell was raised by the Welsh origin PHIL CAMPBELL’S BASTARD SONS: A blended mix of MÖTORHEAD classics and their own song material made the crowd move and engage from the first notes out of the amps. They have not lost any drive at all, the sound is different since one guitar god is missing but Todd does his best and delivers to the highest standards. All four have so much fun playing live, it drips out of each pore once they enter the stage. Julian Jenkins, who supported them already as the vocalist on their last tour with Phil itself, has improved his performance as well. These guys are just a great live band, so much fun to watch and getting the sweat dropping from the ceiling at simply any venue. A great move by Todd at the last song of the show was to get all front row kids on stage to protect them from the more and more moshing crowd behind them. For the next gen of metalheads this was for sure an unforgettable experience and the end of a fantastic concert night.

Look out for them to return to European stages in November 2026 and hopefully to some more new music!
