They’ve been touring Europe this past month or so, but you can already look forward to them coming back with the recent announcement of them being part of the 2027 line-up of Finnish underground festival Sonic Rites!

The Norwegian black metal provocateurs Witch Club Satan have announced their first ever North American tour with the “Founding of The North American Coven” tour starting at the end of may and with support from Penelope Trappes and Patriarchy!
Alcatraz Festival just gave us an early christmas present by adding 32 more bands to the 2026 lineup, making it almost complete with another nice selection of metal icons, underground greats, up-and-coming bands and artists from its own Belgian soil!
Forty bands. Four stages. Countless difficult choices. To help you plan your Friday at Alcatraz, we’ve picked six acts that we think are absolutely worth checking out: Igorrr, Combichrist, HEALTH, Vended, Witch Club Satan and Insanity Alert.

We caught the Avatar “In the Airwaves tour” at the Ancienne Belgique in Brussels with the support from Alien Weaponry and Witch Club Satan. Sometimes these shows are just a work of art, and a nice reminder that rock and metal shows are for everyone and every age.

Two months after our talk at Alcatraz Festival, we stepped back into the forest with Johannes Eckerström of Avatar to talk about their upcoming album ‘Don’t Go In The Forest’ (out next week October 31st), from disco death grooves and true crime commentary to piano-born love songs and the return of the metal circus among many other things.
