CEMETERY SKYLINE with their only 10 gig spanning EU 2026 Tour stopped in Stuttgart for one night. Their musical style is built on cold synth layers, heavy dark‑metal tension and a slow‑burning intensity that filled the room from the first note. ROYAL SORROW set the tone early with a raw, melodic surge that highlighted why they’re one of the most talked‑about newcomers in the scene. A night where atmosphere and heaviness merged into something unmistakably powerful.
By now, the Leprous European Tour 2025 came to an end… Luckily we got to attend one of their last shows of this tour at Trix in Antwerp! And with the support of the Nordic folk rock magicians of Gåte and Finnish promises Royal Sorrow, it was a great night for lovers of exceptional music!
