TERRIBLE BIRTHDAY BASH - 15 SICK YEARS

In the organizer's words:

TERRIBLE SICKNESS are celebrating their 15th band anniversary and want to celebrate this with a bunch of other musical hardships and with you - look forward to 66.6 liters of free beer, deep growls, nasty blast beats and sweaty mosh pits...

TERRIBLE SICKNESS have been on the road with their thrash-influenced, blast-beat-driven death metal since 2010. The band draws its influences from the genre greats of the 90s and has 3 albums to its name so far. On their latest output "Flesh for the Insatiable", the band focuses on speed without getting lost in riff chaos. The songs are catchier and offer well-dosed melodies. TERRIBLE SICKNESS will be performing a special show to mark the band's 15th anniversary.

ABRASIVE were founded in April 1999. They combine old school death metal sound with grindcore and brutal US death metal à la SUFFOCATION or SEVERE TORTURE. The result is a grooving bastard of aggression and brutality. The combination of typical death metal growls and gutturals, rounded off by relentless screams, has become a trademark of the band. After several releases, for example on NICE TO EAT YOU Records or MDD Records and countless shows and festival shows (Soul Grinding, Mountains of Death, NRW Deathfest, Flesh Party Open Air, Exhume The Metal Festival), the band made a name for themselves in the underground scene.

STAGEWAR manages to preserve the roots of metal and at the same time set fresh accents. Since the band was founded in 2003, the four musicians from Hesse have conquered the scene with their unique sound and earned themselves a firm place in the metal scene. STAGEWAR is here for all those who love the golden era of metal but want to feel the energy of the present. The band is currently working on their fourth studio album, which is expected to be released on the Bellaphon label in 2025/2026. A tour is planned afterwards, during which the guys will present the new songs live and thrill the audience with their energetic performance.

HERETIC WARFARE is death metal at its most relentless: fast, brutal, relentless and technical. Yet the band never loses sight of the importance of groove, harmonies, intricate arrangements and meaningful lyrics. The four-piece band from Münster has been delivering infectious riffs and raw energy since their formation in 2010. In 2020, they released their debut album Hell on Earth, which showcased both their ferocious intensity and musical precision. Now, with their sophomore album Perpetual Fire ready to ignite the scene, HERETIC WARFARE open a new chapter and unleash their untamed energy upon a dying world once more.

Founded at the end of 2009, TORTUREBITCH 's musical direction was quickly clear. Punk-infused thrash metal in the vein of bands like Sodom or Witchburner. A sign that no playful technical finesse is needed to write "decent" songs that really hit the 12. Since their formation, the band can look back on 3 full-lengths and 2 split releases. In summer 2025, the band will record their fourth album at Cocobolo Studios Giessen.

RAVAGER - or in German: Devastator. The name says it all! The five musicians from Walsrode have made it their mission to package the influences of their favorite music styles, from classic heavy to crushing death metal, in their own way in a style that can roughly be described as "old school thrash metal" à la Exodus, Overkill or Destruction. The result is a repertoire of songs that are sometimes played at breakneck speed, sometimes groovy, sometimes even punky, with catchy melodies and sing-along parts. RAVAGER will be on the road from September 2025 with a brand new album in their luggage. It's going to be hot!

CASUS from Hildesheim have been around since 2008 and from the very beginning, the aim was to play the most brutal death metal possible, but also to incorporate parts that don't actually fit into the song. The band has successfully toured the Balkans several times, usually supporting well-known bands in the scene. In the year 2025, with the original line-up on the road, CASUS will be throwing their latest material at you.
