Alcatraz Festival just gave us an early christmas present by adding 32 more bands to the 2026 lineup, making it almost complete with another nice selection of metal icons, underground greats, up-and-coming bands and artists from its own Belgian soil!
Finnish industrial metal juggernaut Dome Runner unleashed their new single ‘Salvation Access’, another track from their upcoming album ‘World Panopticon’, set for release in a couple of weeks via Svart Records!
Soulfly delivered their tribally fueled thirteenth album ‘Chama’ via Nuclear Blast last week and unleashed a video for the track ‘No Pain = No Power’ to celebrate! We can’t wait to see them at Alcatraz Festival next summer!
Avantgarde metal trio Imperial Triumphant have announced ‘Merkurius Gilded’, a graphic novel exploring the band’s themes, lyrics and artwork, set to be published via their own Vile Luxe Press in December!

Newly confirmed for the Steelfest 2026 line-up: Demonical, Mavorim, Shape of Despair and underground legends Beherit. Last week also brought the exclusive and unique shows of Holocausto and Erzebet to the bill. Deströyer 666 is no longer part of the lineup.
This past summer, Assemble The Chariots released a monumentally epic debut full-length album, a concept album that is the first chapter of a massive world they’re building. And there was only one way to properly celebrate this: by having a release show, playing the album from start to finish live as it’s intended to be listened to. And with the addition of supporting guests acts IA and Lightbearer, it was truly a mind-bending night to remember for a long time! If you want to catch Assemble the Chariots live, this weekend is your shot with their show at Helsinki Techfest this Friday and their first ever arena show with Lost Society in Järvenpää this Saturday!
