Photo Reports
The first day of this year’s Tolminator had the Tolminator Stage featuring doomsters Todomal, UK metalcore outfits Employed To Serve and Bleed From Within, blackgaze icons Deafheaven and to close in style the melodeath legends In Flames!
Tolminator 2026 kicked off the festival weekend properly at the Beach Stage as usual. Our photographers caught the high velocity sets from local heroes TLMNTR and the thrashers of Xonor and Siberian Meat Grinder!
The DIY stage is where Tolminator’s underground spirit really comes to life. We caught a few of the shows featuring local Slovenian bands like Poguba, Chik Pawza and mal pre mal getting the chance to step into the spotlight and show what they’ve got, but also bands like Austrian sludgers Thosar, Basque country grinders Mutilated Judge and Californian death metallers Dark Insanity!
Experience the unforgettable atmosphere of Tolminator Festival through our collection of pictures, capturing the energy, people, music, and unique spirit of this beautiful festival in Tolmin before we focus on the performances in upcoming galleries and articles!

Your average goregrind band might find to other forms of pleasure at the cemetery, but Iberian doom duo Todomal’s third record ‘Graveyards of Joy’ seeks other funerary delight. Ever wonder what Anathema would have sounded like if they had gone a different direction after ‘Eternity’, check out these guys, their new record is out now on Season of Mist. Catch them opening the Tolminator Stage at Tolminator tomorrow!

Interviews
Ahead of Infected Rain’s final European club show of the “Mutation Phase” tour back in April, we sat down with Lena Scissorhands for a surprisingly personal conversation. We talked about the meaning behind their latest single “Stranger”, why she feels more like herself on stage than anywhere else, fan expectations, rejecting labels like “female-fronted” and what the band’s current mutation really means. Catch them this weekend at Tolminator!
