Last August, this German Black Metal band released their second full-length IM SCHATTEN DER BASTION. AURO is the tool which is purposely used as a hammer destructively smashed into the grotesque face of society as a deterrent, to simultaneously build the foundation of one's own existence as part of the individual cosmos.
From highest heights to deepest depths, downwards into the maw of the underworld! Get your tickets here: https://folter666shop.de/search?search=UTBS2026

Next addition to the line-up of UTBS2026!
This Dutch Black Metal band formed in 2017 by I. Live she performs the drums and vocals combined, supported by R. & P. on bass and guitar. Their name Doodswens translates to Deathwish, but the meaning and heavy load to the word in Dutch is better translated to: Driven by Death!
Expect a performance that is ceremonial and ritualistic, as uplifting as well as devastating, depending on the demons you bring them to offer! Get your tickets here: https://folter666shop.de/search?search=UTBS2026

As one of last year's surprises, this German duo came up with the incredible debut THE EMPIRE OF GLOOM, a realm with the attraction of a dark magnetism that is simultaneously filled with cold, fear and pain. Mellom present atmospheric, dark melodic compositions that combine Death Metal - sometimes heavy grooving, sometimes fast-paced and driven by powerful drums - with elements of Black Metal, tragedy and urban melancholy.
Face the inevitable confrontation with loss and death! Get your tickets here: https://folter666shop.de/search?search=UTBS2026

Straight from Hungary's dark 80s underground, Tormentor's early cult Black Metal helped set the stage for an entire genre, still being a major reference for all fans of this style. Now, 35 years later, after only a few shows and festival appearances, they are willing to haut the stage of UTBS2026!

Embedded in a gripping Black/Thrash garb, the highwaymen of The Black Moriah crash down from the icy foothills of the Rocky Mountains. They brave the windswept path of Devilβs Tower and haunt the bone orchard Boot Hill. All this to conjure up stories from a violent past that reverberate to the present on the stage of UTBS2026!

Hailing from Parma, this band is firmly rooted in the Italian scene and, among others, shares members with Whiskey Ritual, Forgotten Tomb, Mother Augusta and the legendary Kirlian Camera! For TULPA, they are treading water with their melodic Black Metal, which is dedicated to the spiritual concept of SaαΉsΔra, but has its own path. On their latest album TEMPLE OF WOUNDS, harsher Black Metal with crusty vibes meets wistful melodies and combines power and aggressiveness with melancholy and fragility. And we expect nothing less on the stage of UTBS2026!

Drawing lyrical inspiration from Finnish mythology, paganism, and the unforgiving forces of nature, this band has carved a distinct path in the Black Metal underground. Over eight years of relentless creation, they have released three full-length albums and numerous smaller works that stand as a monument to the legacy of their northern Black Metal.
In 2026, Iku-Turso enters a new chapter. With the departure of founding vocalist Lafawijn, a new voice rises to carry their sound deeper into the hearts of men at UTBS2026!
