VIGILHUNTER

Thank you @bavarian_metalheadz ! Our very first German show went great and we're overwhelmed by the positive feedback! Even if, for our southern European asses, the weather has been a bit too chilly to say the least 😅, We had the time of our life throughout the whole weekend and loved every second of it. Congratulations to all the bands and a special thanks to all the people that made this possible, the vibe was unique! Until next time #vigilhunter #metalheadzopenair #bavarianmetalheadz #heavymetal #liveshow

This Saturday 16/05 @vigilhunter_band live @ the Sold Out METALHEADZ OPEN AIR 2026 for the first live show on German soil! Stage time is 18:30. The rage is on! @bavarian_metalheadz #metalheadzopenair #vigilhunter #heavymetal #uspm #usmetal

Today marks 1 year since VIGILHUNTER debut album has been officially released by @highrollerrecordsofficial . Thanks to everybody who supported us in any way, it makes us extremely happy to see that so many people enjoyed the record and a lot of mentions as one of the best HM record of 2025. We've received so many request to play live after the record came out that, even though Vigilhunter was supposed to be a studio only project, we (gladly) decided to play few selected shows every now and then for some special occasions. Some of you already caught us at our debut (and only so far) live show at @mammothfest_greece in Thessaloníki (Greece), but we already have other few shows confirmed such as the @bavarian_metalheadz Open Air 2026 (GER) on 15-16 May and the @inthebesttraditionmetalfest 2026 in Martinsicuro (ITA) on 19th September. In the meantime, I can tell you that we're already working on the sophomore record and it's taking shape even faster than expected! THANK YOU! Photo credit to @johnvolkas

This past weekend we had two great rehearsal sessions with the complete Vigilhunter’s live lineup to prepare the band’s very first live show that will take place on Saturday 4th of October at @mammothfest_greece in Thessaloniki (Greece). As some of you knows, @alexxpanza play rythm/lead guitars in studio, but in order for him to just focus on the vocals and be a frontman in live situtations, our long time brother from Spain (and Alexx colleague in @hittenofficial since many years) @daniguitar_hitten will take over Alexx’s parts! GREECE! The VIGILHUNTER is HOT and READY to deliver!

#08 | VIGILHUNTER (it) 🇬🇷 Οι νεοσύστατοι @vigilhunter_band , από την Ιταλία, είναι μία από τις ελπίδες του νέου κύματος του παραδοσιακού heavy metal ήχου. Με τον σπουδαίο τραγουδιστή Alexx Panza (Hitten, Jack Starr’s Burning Starr κ.α.) στην εμπροσθοφυλακή, το Ιταλικό σχήμα έχει ξεκινήσει άκρως δυναμικά την πορεία του στο metal στερέωμα, με την πρόσφατη κυκλοφορία του ομώνυμου ντεμπούτο και με υλικό που αντλεί έμπνευση από την αμερικανική metal σχολή των late ‘80s. Με νεανική ενέργεια και φούρια, φωνητικά που κόβουν την ανάσα και δυναμικά κιθαριστικά riffs που σε ταξιδεύουν στο παρελθόν του ήχου, οι Vigilhunter έχουν ήδη ξεκινήσει να χτίζουν ένα αφοσιωμένο fanbase και να γράφουν την δική τους χρυσή σελίδα στην μεταλλική ιστορία, χάρη στην αυθεντικότητα που απονέουν οι ζωντανές τους εμφανίσεις - μεταξύ άλλων. Μην χάσετε την ευκαιρία να τους γνωρίσετε στο MammothFest 2025. Ίσως να γίνουν η επόμενη αγαπημένη heavy metal μπάντα σας! 🎫 Ticket link στο bio! 🇬🇧 The newly formed Vigilhunter from Italy are one of the brightest hopes in the new wave of traditional heavy metal. Fronted by the powerhouse vocalist Alexx Panza (Hitten, Jack Starr’s Burning Starr, among others), this Italian outfit has made a strong entrance onto the metal scene with their self-titled debut, delivering material heavily inspired by the golden era of late ‘80s American metal. With youthful energy and relentless drive, soaring vocals that take your breath away, and razor-sharp riffs that transport you straight back to the glory days of the genre, Vigilhunter are already building a dedicated fanbase and carving out their own chapter in heavy metal history. Known for their authentic and fiery live performances, they are quickly becoming a name to watch. Catch them live at MammothFest 2025, you might just discover your next favorite heavy metal band! 🎫 Ticket link in bio!
