Warbound Line-up
Every band. Every day. This is the complete running order of Drums of War, Barcelona’s underground extreme metal siege. Plan your assault across these 3 days and lock in the shows you refuse to miss.
Days of War
Three days. Three different fronts. Choose your battlefield or march through all of them.
27th Thursday
Opening salvo of war metal blasphemy, cult black metal hatred, and old-school thrash/death annihilation. The first night detonates Drums of War with Impiety’s sole European war metal assault, Nargaroth’s 30th anniversary rites of misanthropic fury, Messiah’s 35-year celebration of Choir of Horrors, Hellenic black/thrash raids, progressive gothic explorations, and a full barrage of melodic death and death/thrash legions — maximum speed and zero mercy.
Vibe: Relentless, high-tempo chaos, razor-riff assaults, blasphemous blastbeat worship, smoke and strobe-heavy stage warfare.
28th Friday
The middle campaign pushes deeper into the dark: pioneering black metal incantations, cavernous old-school death grooves, pagan black fire, melodic black melancholy, and blackened thrash destruction. Tormentor’s Hungarian roots, Pestilence and Grave’s classic death metal carnage, Onslaught and Deathhammer’s thrash onslaughts, Vinterland’s full 30th anniversary Welcome My Last Chapter, Kampfar’s Norse pagan rituals, and occult black sorcery grind through the Barcelona night.
Vibe: Dense atmosphere, ritual lighting, slow-burn builds into absolute sonic collapse, pagan invocations and crushing old-school extremity.
29th Saturday
Intimate, violent, and exclusive. The final assault unleashes thrash metal supremacy, Viking death legions, ferocious black metal storms, raw underground carnage, and dark metal epics. Destruction’s German thrash devastation, Unleashed’s 35th anniversary, 1349 and Impaled Nazarene’s black metal apocalypse, Hellbutcher’s speed-driven fury, Gates of Ishtar’s melodic death rites, Aeternus’ Beyond the Wandering Moon full set, and local Spanish death metal brutality — rare album playthroughs and collaborative rituals built just for Drums of War.
Vibe: Cataclysmic festival climax of thrash devastation, old-school death metal glory, ferocious black metal storms, raw underground fury, and epic dark rituals. Blistering speed, crushing riffs, savage grooves, and glorious anniversary sets that turn the night into total metallic Armageddon.
