IN FLAMES are among the biggest metal bands in the world - and they have never shied away from constantly pushing their artistic boundaries, creating music that is as catchy as it is brutal. Founded in 1990, the band is widely regarded as one of the pioneers of Melodic Death Metal and a defining architect of the iconic “Gothenburg Sound”.
With fourteen studio albums to their name, countless successful tours around the globe - including sharing stages with BLACK SABBATH, METALLICA, IRON MAIDEN, MEGADETH, JUDAS PRIEST and SLAYER - millions of records sold and a massive global fanbase, IN FLAMES have long since proven that they are an unstoppable force.
Since their 1994 debut album ‘Lunar Strain’, the sophisticated interplay of dual guitars, melodic vocals and outstanding arrangements have defined the band’s unmistakable sound, which has continuously evolved over the years.
Led by vocalist and guitarist Matthew K. Heafy and completed by guitarist Corey Beaulieu, bassist Paolo Gregoletto and drummer Alex Rüdinger, TRIVIUM have been one of the most consistent powerhouses in the Metal scene for more than two decades.
With their breakthrough album ‘Ascendancy’, they were crowned ‘Album of the Year’ by Kerrang!. The album achieved gold status in the UK, sold half a million copies worldwide, and was later voted one of the 15 best metal albums of the century by Metal Hammer.
Since then, they have earned two more gold and silver certifications, six consecutive top 25 entries on the Billboard 200, and a quarter of a billion streams. With the 2025 EP ‘Struck Dead’ already offering a taste of what is to come, and with Alex Rüdinger behind the kit, a new era is now beginning for TRIVIUM.
Hailing from Zurich, PALEFACE SWISS have rapidly risen from the Extreme Metal underground to become one of Europe’s most talked-about live acts. The band blends Deathcore, Beatdown Hardcore and Nu-Metal into a sound that is as brutal as it is emotionally raw. Fronted by the charismatic Marc “Zelli” Zellweger, PALEFACE SWISS have further solidified their reputation for uncompromising riffs and explosive, high-energy live shows with their 2025 album ‘Cursed’ and the subsequent 2026 EP ‘The Wilted’ - cementing their place as one of the most exciting new acts on the international scene today.
Based in Copenhagen, VOLA are a Danish-Swedish Progressive Metal band that blends Rech-Metal, Djent and Electronica with atmospheric, captivating songwriting. Since breaking through with ‘Inmazes’ in 2016, the band has built a loyal global following and amassed tens of millions of streams. With their 2024 album ‘Friend Of A Phantom’, which features a guest appearance by IN FLAMES frontman Anders Fridén, VOLA once again impressively demonstrated their genre-defying sound.
