Impact

Friday night at Black Hawk MC’s Choppershow weekend in Belgium was all about live music, and especially local bands with Poseydon, popular cover band Impact, and most of all Hexa Mera hitting the stage with a farewell show. Their powerful set hit especially hard, knowing the band is stepping away after 15 years: a bittersweet but fitting send-off for a group that’s been so important to our scene and community.

Milking the Goatmachine

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!

Rotting Christ

Day 3 at Tolminator had it all, chaos, doom, filth, and ritual. Insanity Alert, Ahab, Dopethrone, Wolfbrigade, and Rotting Christ tore up the main stage!

Cro-Mags

Day 2 at Tolminator was pure chaos and contrast! From Fulci and Midnight to Cro-Mags, Villagers of Ioannina City, and Cradle of Filth, our intern photographer Nox caught it all on the main stage!

Omnium Gatherum

Kreator

Tolminator 2025 started strong on the main stage with sets from Warbringer, Omnium Gatherum, High Parasite, Angelus Apatrida, and the mighty Kreator. Our intern photographer Nox captured the action, dive into the gallery from Day 1!

Tolminator atmosphere

Tolminator isn’t just about the bands. It’s about the people who make it unforgettable. This year, our team (with trainee Nox and resident photographer Tom) captured the heart and soul of the festival: the faces, the chaos, the calm by the Soča river. Check out our photo gallery celebrating the spirit of Tolminator 2025!
