Lists

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!

As every year is the case, Alcatraz Festival has plenty of space and attention for the local Belgian scene and we’re not the only ones happy about that. On the newly expanded Thursday warm-up night you’ll get to enjoy cover/tribute bands like Mr. Lipstick and the Lost Traces, Motörheads and BelgianQuoBand, the popular thrash/speed metallers of Evil Invaders and a stage filled with more underground like Sister May, Kerker, Stung, Violent Sin and Ancient Rites!

Steelchaos is back! If that is not reason enough to get yourself a ticket still, here are 5 reasons why you should still consider to go this weekend, including the exclusive Finland “Black Metal” 40 years anniversary show of Venom Inc.!

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.

The outdoor stage on the 2nd day of Steelfest XI was the place for explosive and often high velocity performances by Tsatthoggua, Sex Messiah, Grenadier, Witchtrap, Kalmankantaja and Behexen!

Steelchaos day 2 was yet another spectacle, both musically and visually, with shows from Chevalier, Horna, Cadaveric Incubator, Torture Killer, Lord Fist and the epic “Black Metal” anniversary celebration by Venom Inc.!
