This year\u2019s lineup is nothing short of legendary, featuring genre pioneers, death metal demigods, thrash titans, and new-age heavyweights that are redefining the sound of brutality. From the searing riffs of Testament and Dark Angel to the cosmic chaos of Blood Incantation and the goblin-fueled mayhem of Nekrogoblikon, each tour promises unforgettable carnage on stage. Whether you&#8217;re a die-hard for old-school devastation or riding the wave of modern metalcore madness, this is your ultimate gig guide to the heaviest, loudest, and most unmissable metal shows of the year.<\/span><br \/>\n<b><\/b><\/p>\n<h2>1. Dark Angel<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to thrash metal, Dark Angel is an at once blazing and ground-shaking entity of furious speed, energy, and perplexing composition. From their origins in Los Angeles, California, Dark Angel thrashed its way across the metal scene throughout the 80s, leaving a trail of technically demanding and ravenously intense music in their wake. Indeed, the music was so fast and relentless, its fans dubbed it \u201cThe L.A. Caffeine Machine\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;While remaining almost entirely underground, Dark Angel played an influential role in molding thrash metal\u2019s fundamental second wave and are recognized as pioneers of the sub-genre of technical and progressive thrash. Their record \u201cDarkness Descends\u201d from 1986 continues to be hailed as a noble slab of metal and a fundamental artistic impulse to the embryonic death metal movement. Energized once more, this powerful band of thrash metal has reunited and returned to the stage, delivering an immediately identifiable sound to long-time fans.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Genre:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Thrash Metal | <\/span><b>Nickname:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The L.A.

I Am Morbid<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The band was formed in 2017 by David Vincent and Tim Yeung, shortly after they left the death metal pioneers Morbid Angel. I Am Morbid is a live tribute to the golden age of death metal. Named after the song I Am Morbid from the infamous Illud Divinum Insanus album, we are honored to do just that. I AM MORBID covers only material from about the first decade of the band\u2019s revolution: Altars of Madness, Blessed Are the Sick, Covenant, and Domination.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After appearing in Russia in 2017, they quickly gained a faithful fan base thanks to their fearsome presence and their no-compromise live reputation. Their first tour concluded with a headlining tour at Alcatraz Metal Fest, which replaced Morbid Angel, which had cancelled the entire European tour. Throughout the years, the hired supergroup has included some legends of metal full tang, with another former Morbid Angel member joining the lineup in 2021.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Genre: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Death Metal | Legacy: Morbid Angel Offshoot<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I Am Morbid 2025 Upcoming Shows<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dublin, IE \u2013 The Academy | August 5, 2025 | 7:00 PM<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Manchester, GB \u2013 Rebellion | August 6, 2025 | 7:00 PM<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">London, GB \u2013 229 | August 7, 2025 | 7:00 PM<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>3. Blood Incantation<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blood Incantation embodies cult in death metal. The Denver-based outfit\u2019s otherworldly concoction of cosmic death, complex structures, and transcendental atmospheric eeriness has turned Blood Incantation into one of the scene\u2019s most revered acts. The quartet comprises Paul Riedl on guitar and vocals, Isaac Faulk on the drums, Morris Kolontyrsky on the guitar, and Jeff Barrett on the bass. And the 2024 release, Absolute Elsewhere, is no different: one doesn\u2019t listen to this record; one is engulfed and absorbed. Across two tracks, \u201cThe Stargate\u201d and \u201cThe Message,\u201d this 45-minute journey ventures deep into the heart of progressive death metal with a dose of sci-fi ambience and philosophical depth unlike anything else in Blood Incantation\u2019s oeuvre. It follows the critically acclaimed visionaries\u2019 first two full-length albums, Starspawn and Hidden History of the Human Race, and further expands their musical universe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Genre:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Progressive Death Metal | <\/span><b>Origin:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Denver, Colorado<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Blood Incantation 2025 Tour Dates<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;Bristol \u2013 Electric Bristol | Oct 6, 7:00 PM<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;Dublin \u2013 The Academy | Oct 7, 6:00 PM<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;Manchester \u2013 Albert Hall | Oct 8, 7:00 PM<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;Glasgow \u2013 Garage | Oct 9, 7:00 PM (Limited Tickets)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">London \u2013 O2 Shepherd\u2019s Bush Empire | Oct 10, 7:00 PM<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>4. Testament<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rising from the heart of the Bay Area thrash movement, Testament remains one of metal\u2019s most ferocious and consistent bands out there. A group that features a powerhouse lineup \u2013 Chuck Billy on vocals, Eric Peterson and Alex Skolnick on guitars, rhythm section Steve DiGiorgio and Gene Hoglan \u2013continues to redefine chorus with each successive record.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Their 2020\u2019s Titans of Creation offered the fans more of their brutal thrash roots by bringing new life into the preceding arrangements, blistering riffs, and some sharp modern production. Decades into their existence, Testament\u2019s sound has fossilized in many ways, yet it continues to channel the same raw, unfiltered energy stacking made them genre icons. Sporting a canon peppered with classic melodic cues and a live show that hits like a speeding freight train, Testament should be considered by any fan of heavy music.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Genre: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thrash\/Death Metal | <\/span><b>Legacy:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Titans of American Heavy Metal<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Testament 2025 Tour Dates<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bristol \u2013 Bristol Beacon | Oct 7, 5:30 PM<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Birmingham \u2013 O2 Academy | Oct 8, 5:30 PM<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dublin \u2013 3 Olympia Theatre | Oct 9, 6:30 PM<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Manchester \u2013 Academy | Oct 10, 5:30 PM<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">London \u2013 O2 Forum Kentish Town | Oct 11, 5:30 PM<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>5. Drowning Pool&nbsp;<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Drowning Pool exploded onto the metal scene with a legacy based on defiance, uncooked enthusiasm, and pure sonic power. Though the title \u201cBodies\u201d broke them into the industry back in 2001, the band has since achieved cult status, pushing crowds all around the globe into a mosh frenzy with its overlooked rage and an iconic refrain. Ryan McCombs\u2019 arrival following the tragic passing of original front man Dave Williams infused fresh vigor into the band.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;His re-entry in 2023, however, was a turning point rather than simply a return. According to Ryan: \u201cWhen we got into the band room together again, it just felt\u2026\u201d it helped me remember why they were once my best buddies in this industry.\u201d Drowning Pool\u2019s story is more than anthems like \u201c37 Stitches,\u201d \u201cFeel Like I Do,\u201d and \u201cTurn So Cold\u201d: it is a tale of connections, rebound, and unendingly prevalent affection for metal.
