ALL HAIL THE GOAT!!! Hellripper has been quite literally ripping it up this summer in Europe with killer shows at festivals like Tolminator and Brutal Assault, and a couple of weeks ago it was announced that Century Media Records has forged a pact with the Aberdeen, Scotland’s ibex-obsessed blackened thrash bastards of Hades for the next chapter in the outfit’s career!

The final day of Tolminator hit hard! From Milking the Goatmachine and Psycroptic to Hellripper, D.R.I., Oranssi Pazuzu and Ministry, the Tolminator Stage went out with a bang!
We checked out the first day of the second edition of Hell’s Balls Belgium festival… With banging names like Triptykon, Primordial, Vltimas, the unofficial inclusion of the “Night Eternal tour” with Dark Tranquillity, Wolfheart and Moonspell, Carpathian Forest, Hellripper, Dead Head and The Monolith Deathcult, it was a true fest for any extreme metal fan!
Abbath and company came to Munich to show how black metal is done at the highest level. In their luggage came the American Toxic Holocaust and the Scottish Hellripper, who opened the night like two big explosions.
Lists
Brutal Assault is a proper celebration of everything that is metal and/or extreme and there is something great to be found at any time of the day! We picked out 8 bands that you should go see on the third day of this year’s edition, with Graphic Nature, Within Destruction, Mnemic, Sylvaine, Gaerea, The Browning, Hellripper and Mantar, because they’ll be more than worth your time!
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!
In 10 days, Kortrijk in Belgium, will turn the heavy up again with Hell’s Balls Belgium, just like they do every summer with Alcatraz festival. In case you weren’t sure yet why you should go, here are what we think are valid reasons for you to be there…
What are you the most excited about of this year’s editions of the festival? Let us know in the comments!
