Vivus Humare will celebrate their live return since 2019 and - as they are from Thuringia - they could not be a better prelude for Sturmes Reigen 2026 on Friday! Melancholic yet furious Black Metal in a distinctive, German style - imbued with deep soul, thoughtfully composed and moreover on stage with fervent intensity. Lots of variations in guitar melodies and sound, vocals and drumming, alongside a vibrant bass guitar that frequently is to the fore with it’s pulse. A dark sonic adventure that shakes you to the core - a musical journey through the dark depths of the Thuringian Forest!

REINKAOS complete the manifesto for the Sturmes Reigen 2026. In honor of and on the 20th anniversary of Jon Nödtveidt's death, the Dutch horde will pay tribute to the Swedish icon DISSECTION. They will perform classics from the first two albums from the 90s. In the sense of the festival's concept the old spirit of Black Metal will be revived.

Faceless Entity stands for harrowing and frightening art not composed for the masses. The Dutch horde reflects on life and death and wants the listener to surrender to the fear of the unknown, allowing this fear to permeate their psyche. Stylistically, their music can be described as raw atmospheric Black Metal. Slow and somber tempos create a lethargy and overwhelm the listener with an eerie and oppressive dread. The grating guitar sound and unpolished production further enhance the dark atmosphere. Also atypical are the dark and harsh vocals, which occasionally alternate with piercing screams and clean vocals. Their works are characterized by a profound fascination with the dark aura of the individual and the soul in the face of the ominous and threatening. So far, they have released two full-length albums and five demos.

BLEAK BONE MORTUALIA
out now
THORYBOS - Jawbreaker (Promo 2026) CD + Logo Patch
After six years since their last release, THORYBOS’ second full-length, "Saliva and Black Venom," is finally approaching—preceded by the advance CD "JAWBREAKER (PROMO 2026)," featuring three new demo tracks (17 min. total) that showcase their evolved "Bareknuckle Black/Death Metal": a more violent, bestial revolt against all divine light. As a bonus, this release includes the band’s first rehearsal with bassist Deathlord of Abomination and War Apocalypse, marking their infamous 2023 live return—now synonymous with danger, fear, and controversy.
Limited to 200 hand-numbered copies, released in collaboration with Bleak Bone Mortualia and W.T.C. Prod.

VOLT SORECERY - To Rive the Scalp Asunder Tape
VOLT SORCERY's sold out 2020 demo-tape "To Rive the Scalp Asunder" ominously interweaves the unrelenting pulse of cavernous Black Death Metal and the gloomy scapes of keyboard-laden intensity. It's the two core-members of German THORYBOS that dwell here, over the course of three songs, simultaneously in pensive, somehow distant and outworldly meditation as much as in the immediate nightmarish grip of ill-spirited ritual action.
Finally, a repress of this obscure gem is available now! Limited to 100 handnumbered copies, comes on Protape.
NEFANDUS from Sweden will be celebrating one of their rare rituals, the first in Germany, this June at Sturmes Reigen. They were founded in the fateful year of 1993 in the glare of burning churches. The timeless style is characterized by a dark, melancholic and mysterious atmosphere. The haunting rhythms with occasional mid-tempo passages and melodies with vigorous, complex riffs and chord changes, all combined with thoughtful arrangements, set them apart. The horde's work includes three full-length albums, an EP and a demo from 1995. Praise darkness in a sinister ritual!

Back to 2024 working as house photographer for the last edition of Necesse Mori I had the mindblowing experience to witness live Nagyszeben, the concert was at Hostalric in Catalonia, Spain.
A fortress that comes from the medieval time, what a venue!
Now in a few months I’ll see them on stage at Sturmes Reigen in Germany, organized by @kombinatschwarzmetall and @solrecords.de where I am part of their photography team.

NecrosHorns will be haunting the Sturmes Reigen 2026 on June 5th & 6th, documenting the rites as they unfold. Crawling through the shadows of the underground, Necroshorns emerges as one of the most revered photographers of the Black Metal scene. His work is raw, unfiltered, and steeped in the essence of the music he captures - each image a ritual of darkness, a frozen moment of defiance and devotion. Known for his collaborations with famous bands his lens has immortalized the most intense and provocative scenes, from the sacred to the sacrilegious. He only appears where the music is true, where the atmosphere is thick with the spirit of the underground.

Crawling out from the depths of the Spanish catacombs NAGYSZEBEN celebrates Occult Black Metal in a style that’s equally rotten as it is ritualistic and solemn. It’s a procession of evil in forbidden places of the ether world. The art captivates by rawness and, at the same time, considerable depth and atmosphere allowing the compositions to truly shine. The circle consists of seasoned musicians who previously made a name for themselves in bands such as Decapitated Christ, Necroracle, Beyond Death's Throne and Arkhaeth. This is the first black mass held by the Spanish in Germany. So far 2 EPs, a split with the German Nightwalker and a compilation have been released via Lucifogo Records.

Shadows from the Past ... appears at Sturmes Reigen 2026: Omegaeternum is the heritage of NEHËMAH. Featuring former members of the French legend, they signify epic Black Metal with a mystical, profound and dark atmosphere. Frosty melodies and martial drums are accompanied by vocals reminiscent of drifting past by ravens. Standing out also is the somber keyboard, which lends the music a haunting melancholy and majesty. Their debut album, released in 2024 via Van Records, is a journey through cosmos, torment, and beauty into the black void.

PROSTERNATUR is a musical and personal mystery. At Sturmes Reigen 2026 will be held a celebration of a dark ritual that casts a spell over you with each passing moment. Complex and dissonant walls of melodies with powerful, ritualistic voices create a threatening and frightening atmosphere. An epic art that breathtakingly expresses the purity of ritual Black Metal … darkness.enlightenment.beauty.occultism.longing.ritualism.death.
Without doubt the debut "Abyssus Abyssum Invocat" is among the best Black Metal albums of all time:
