Havok [US] + Special Guests: Blood Red Throne [NO] + Support: Xonor [CH] + Eradikated [SE]

On October 6, four bands take the stage at Stengade for an evening dedicated to thrash and death metal. American Havok headline, with Blood Red Throne (NO), Xonor (CH), and Eradikated (SE) as support. Entry: 295 kr.

Havok from Colorado has built a solid discography since their debut: Burn (2009), Time Is Up (2011), Unnatural Selection (2013), Conformicide (2017), and V (2020), which prompted Metal Hammer to write: "Havok have nailed 21st century thrash." The band has toured with names like Megadeth, Anthrax, Testament, and Kreator, and in 2024 released their first independent release, New Eyes EP. New music is on the way in 2026.

Blood Red Throne are Norwegian death metal veterans with nearly 30 years under their belt and 12 albums in their catalog - most recently Siltskin on Soulseller Records. The band was founded by guitarist Daniel "Død" Olaisen, who played in Satyricon in the 90s, and the current lineup also includes Freddy "the Shred" Bolsø (drums), Ivan "Meathook" Gujic (guitar), Stian "Clammy Hackett" Gundersen (bass), and Sindre Wathne Johnsen (vocals, since 2023). They have played Wacken, Hellfest, Bloodstock, and 70,000 Tons of Metal, and toured in the USA, South America, Asia, and - yes - both Dubai and Mongolia.

Xonor emerged during the pandemic and has since played over 65 shows, performed at Kyiv's Destroyer Fest in the midst of Russia's invasion, and shared the stage with acts including Messiah, Nervosa, and Sodom. Their debut album All Honor Lost (2024) has reached 1.2 million streams on Spotify. Eradikated from Sweden play thrash metal without backing tracks or overdubs - what's on the album is what hits you from the stage.
