Three Legends, One Stage: Death Metal at its Finest

This Sunday, Zeche Bochum will be ground zero for extreme metal. Vader, Kataklysm, and Blood Red Throne – three death metal heavyweights on a single bill in the heart of the Ruhr area.

Vader – the Unstoppable Force from Poland

For over 40 years, Vader has been steamrolling through the death metal scene. The band led by mastermind Piotr "Peter" Wiwczarek arrives in Bochum on their "Freedom or Death Tour", bringing four decades of brutality, technical precision, and relentless energy. Anyone who's seen Vader live knows: this band shows no mercy.

Kataklysm & Blood Red Throne – Support Acts of the Highest Order

Canadian death metal veterans Kataklysm match Vader in both experience and sheer force. Their blend of melodic death and hyperblast attacks has made them a fixture since the 90s. And as if that weren't enough, Norwegian butchers Blood Red Throne complete the lineup – uncompromising death metal at its most vicious.

Three bands, three countries, one mission: to reduce Zeche Bochum to rubble. March 22 is the day. Be there! 🤘
