EUROPE have announced celebrations for the 40th anniversary of *The Final Countdown*, their most famous album, which features the global hit of the same name.
In 2022, “The Final Countdown” surpassed one billion views on YouTube and remains one of the most recognizable tracks in rock history.
EUROPE will perform at the Alcatraz in Milan on October 14, 2026, presenting a setlist that includes a full performance of the *The Final Countdown* album—which also features hit songs such as “Carrie,” “Rock The Night,” and “Cherokee.” Finally, EUROPE have confirmed the upcoming release of a new album of original material.
The Canadian band The Damn Truth will open the show.
Radiofreccia is the concert’s media partner.
Joey Tempest (EUROPE’s lead singer) states: “Forty years have flown by in the blink of an eye, and we are about to play *The Final Countdown* in its entirety for the second time in our career, alongside other hits and our favorite tracks from our upcoming new album. It’s going to be fantastic; we are working to ensure the production and the show live up to this truly special occasion.”
*Early bird tickets are sold out!*
American death metal giants Suffocation are returning to Zagreb as part of their “Southern & Eastern Europe” tour! Undoubted favorites of the local audience, they will perform on Thursday, October 15, 2026, at Boogaloo. The tour also marks the 35th anniversary of their cult album *Effigy of the Forgotten*, with several tracks from the record set to be performed. Rounding out a lineup where every band name consists of just a single word are Ingested, Undeath, and Eternal, making this one of the most brutal metal events of the year in Zagreb. Early bird tickets priced at €29 are sold out. Following the early bird phase, the presale price will be €33, while tickets on the day of the show—if any remain—will cost €37. Physical tickets are available at Dirty Old Shop.
Suffocation formed in 1988 in Centereach, Long Island, and have been synonymous with brutal and technical death metal since their inception. Their 1991 debut album, *Effigy of the Forgotten*, is considered a pivotal release in the genre and a record that profoundly influenced the development of various death metal subgenres. Throughout their career, the band has built a reputation as a devastating live act, combining technical precision, guttural vocals, and relentless blast beats—something the Zagreb audience has witnessed firsthand on multiple occasions. Their influence resonates through generations of death metal and deathcore bands that followed in their wake. The current album “Hymns from the Apocrypha” was released for Nuclear Blast, and the band continues to act as one of the most important institutions of extreme sound.

The British Ingested come from Manchester, where they were founded in 2006. Through almost two decades, they have grown into one of the strongest names in British extreme metal. Their sound combines slam, brutal death metal and deathcore into a massive, modern and relentless whole. During their career, the band played with names such as Cannibal Corpse, The Black Dahlia Murder, Nile, Carnifex and Revocation. With the current album “Denigration”, they continue to confirm their status as one of the most uncompromising bands on the scene, and it would be a sin to miss their performance.

Undeath hails from Rochester, New York, and was founded in 2018. In a short time they have become one of the most exciting new names in American death metal. Their sound relies on old school death metal, horror aesthetics, mosher energy and infectious brutality. After the albums “Lesions of a Different Kind” and “It’s Time… to Rise from the Grave”, they released “More Insane” in 2024. Undeath bring rawness, fun and chaos, exactly what makes them more and more often considered by the audience to be among the new leaders of the genre, and why it’s best to see for yourself this time in Boogaloo.

Eternal come from Phoenix, Arizona and belong to the new generation of American old school death metal. The band was founded in 2021, and already with the first EP “Forsaken Memories” it attracted the attention of the underground scene thanks to the combination of raw death metal, thrash and dark melodies. The next release “Faceless Evil” further cemented their status as one of the most promising young bands of the American scene, while the debut album “Cryptic Lust” from 2024 brought an even more mature and brutal sound inspired by classics like Death, Obituary, Gorguts and Entombed. Their style combines Florida and Swedish approaches to death metal, with an emphasis on aggressive riffs, horror atmosphere and old school energy.

EMBRIO returns to Zagreb after three years. The concert will take place on October 31, 2026, at the Primarius Brewery. They are bringing along the Split-based band Ewiniar, marking their first performance before a Zagreb audience. Before and after the concert, DJ The Void Dancer—known to local audiences for the *Tanzdiktatur* events and many others—will keep the crowd dancing. The program will also feature a mini-market, an exhibition, and an aerial hoop dance performance. Tickets are available for €20.00 at Rockmark and via the toottoot.fm platform. It promises to be a Halloween party to remember!
EMBRIO is a Gothic Metal/Rock band formed in 1999 in Sinj. Inspired by bands such as Black Sabbath, Type O Negative, Cradle of Filth, and H.I.M., the original five-piece lineup began crafting a unique, recognizable sound that became an integral part of the Croatian music scene.
In 2002, they released their debut demo album, *To My Beloved*, followed shortly by *Gabriel’s Grief* in 2005, at which point they began performing actively across Croatia.
In 2007, Embrio faced its most difficult moment since its inception when founder and frontman Branimir Vugdelija passed away prematurely. Despite this, the members decided to continue their work in his honor; they regularly organize the “In Memoriam Branimir Vugdelija” memorial concert, and in 2009, they performed internationally for the first time at the Metal Camp festival in Slovenia. After a hiatus and official cessation of activity in 2012, Embrio reunited in 2022. In November 2025, they released the long-awaited single “ZID”, which met with an extremely positive response from the audience and critics. They are currently preparing a new single “Blues before eternity”, which is scheduled to be released by the end of 2026. At the same time, Embrio is working hard on his new English-language album, the release date of which has not yet been officially announced, but we are eagerly awaiting it.

EWINIAR is a Gothic Metal/Rock band founded by Marin and Katarina Tramontana in 2021 in Split. Combining dark atmosphere and elements of gothic metal, the band has developed a sound that combines melancholy, intensity and cinematic depth.
They draw inspiration from their love for dark and melancholic music and bands such as Paradise Lost, Nightwish, Dead Can Dance, Nick Cave, The Sisters of Mercy, Type O Negative, Amorphis and many others.
They have two albums under their belts: *Burning the Light* (2021) and *Another World* (2023). These albums received positive reviews from gothic, rock, and metal media, earning praise for their songwriting, emotional depth, and production. *Another World* even featured a guest appearance by Hugo Ribeiro of Moonspell.
With female vocals, atmospheric passages, and heavier rhythms, they irresistibly evoke the bands we grew up with; yet, like the wind, Ewiniar sweeps away nostalgia to forge something entirely new and uniquely their own.
In January 2026, Ewiniar released the single “Fractured Harmony,” offering a glimpse into a new creative chapter. This was followed by “Perfect Sin” in June 2026, further showcasing the band’s evolving sound while remaining rooted in the dark, melodic character that defines their music.
They are currently working on their third studio album, and a portion of the new material will be premiered to the Zagreb audience. LINKS:

Ready your oars, for the Allfather awakens!
Swedish Viking metal titans Amon Amarth are embarking on a monumental live offensive in the autumn of 2026, set to take the UK and Europe by storm. This all-Swedish invasion is flanked by rising death metal force Orbit Culture and legendary melodic death metallers Soilwork—together, they unleash the full might of the *The Allfather Awakens* tour!
Following a triumphant summer on the high seas—including performances alongside Slayer in Cardiff and London and a US tour with Pantera—Amon Amarth return with a spectacular, all-new stage production. Their loyal following can expect a show steeped in ritual and fire, driven by an expanded stage setup designed to make even the largest arenas tremble.
The campaign kicks off in Manchester on October 9, and from October 13, the tour sweeps across Europe: from France, Luxembourg, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Sweden, Finland, Estonia, Poland, Hungary, Austria, and the Czech Republic to Italy, Switzerland, Spain, and Portugal.
To mark their numerous performances last summer, Amon Amarth released their first new song in years—the mighty single “We Rule the Waves”—along with its accompanying music video. But that was just the beginning:
At the end of 2026, the band will release a new album that consistently continues their musical evolution and impressively demonstrates why Amon Amarth have long been a fixture in the international metal scene.
KRASHKARMA is far more than just a metal band—they are
a force of nature. With over 7 million YouTube views, 230,000
Facebook followers, and more than 800 shows worldwide, this
exceptional duo from Los Angeles has firmly established itself
in the scene.
At the heart of the band is the charismatic Niki Skistimas,
who dominates the stage as both drummer and vocalist with
explosive beats. By her side is Ralf Dietel (WIZO), the band’s
creative mastermind, who delivers heavy riffs, massive basslines,
and powerful vocals using his unique guitar-bass hybrid.
Their new album, *ENTER THE EXIT*, is set for release in
September 2026. On the ensuing tour, they will shatter
expectations of what just two musicians can achieve—
impressively proving that metal knows no limits.

Power metal giants Kamelot are finally coming to Croatia! The long-awaited premiere concert of these masters will be held on November 13th at Boogaloo as part of a major world tour, and on that occasion they will be joined on stage by bands led by great female vocalists: Exit Eden and Temperance.
Early bird tickets are sold out! The pre-sale price of tickets is 39 euros, and on the day of the concert they will cost 44 euros, if any remain. Physical tickets will soon be available at the Dirty Old Shop.
Kamelot is an American symphonic / power metal band founded in 1987 in Florida, which has built its status as one of the most important names in modern melodic metal during its career.
The founder and spiritus movens of the band is guitarist Thomas Youngblood, and over the years they have developed a recognizable blend of power, progressive and symphonic metal elements with a pronounced theatrical atmosphere. They began their career as Camelot at the suggestion of Thomas’ mother, but in the early 90s they changed their name to Kamelot due to a local record store with the same name. The first big breakthrough came at the end of that decade with the arrival of vocalist Roy Khan, when the band began to build a serious European fan base and redefine their own sound.
Their music balances between dark themes, epic choruses and progressive arrangements, making them a band that works equally well with a metal audience, but also with a wider fan base outside the genre. The current line-up, in addition to Youngblood, also includes Tommy Karevik (vocals), Oliver Palotai (keyboards), Sean Tibbetts (bass) and Alex Landenburg (drums). They have released 13 studio albums, and a new release is expected this year.

EXIT EDEN is a symphonic metal supergroup formed in 2017 that combines metal and recognizable pop melodies into a powerful, slightly cinematic sound. The band consists of three prominent vocalists — Clémentine Delauney (Visions of Atlantis, March 1st at Močvara!), Anna Brunner (League of Distortion) and Marina La Torraca (Battle Beast), who emphasize strength and independence through the concept of a modern “femme fatale”.
Their debut album “Rhapsodies in Black” brought them international attention, and with their second album “Femmes Fatales” they expand their identity with original songs, including the single “Run!” with guest appearance by Marko Hietala (ex Nightwish). This will be their first performance in Croatia.

Temperance is an Italian symphonic / melodic metal band founded in 2013.
From the beginning, they have built a recognizable style through a combination of female and male vocals and emphasized choruses. In their seven studio albums so far, they have established themselves as one of the strongest new European symphonic metal names, especially among audiences who like bands like Nightwish or Within Temptation, but in a somewhat more modern arrangement.

One of the most important representatives of European folk and power metal, TĂťR, will lead the spectacular “Valhalla Calling” European tour that will arrive at Zagreb’s Boogaloo on December 14, 2026! On this occasion, they will promote their tenth album, and will be joined on stage by Swedish power metal force Twilight Force, their compatriots Dragonland and Dutch folk metal hopefuls Vanaheim. The audience can expect an evening filled with epic choruses, Norse mythology, fantastic stories and new songs that the bands will present ahead of the release of their upcoming albums. Early bird tickets priced at 30 euros are available from Friday, June 19 at 10 am via the Hangtime website. The pre-sale price will be 35 euros, while on the day of the concert, if any remain, they will cost 40 euros. Physical tickets will soon be available at the Dirty Old Shop.
Hailing from the Faroe Islands, TĂťR has been one of the most recognizable names in modern folk metal for over two decades. The band was founded in the late 1990s and has built a worldwide reputation by fusing traditional Nordic motifs with powerful heavy and progressive metal. Led by charismatic singer and guitarist Heri Joensen, they have released a series of critically acclaimed albums over the course of their career, including Eric the Red, Ragnarok and Valkyrja. They are particularly known for their songs inspired by Norse mythology and the maritime tradition of the Faroe Islands. Their performances combine technical precision, powerful vocals and anthemic choruses, making them indispensable guests at the biggest European metal festivals. The new, tenth studio album will mark the beginning of a new chapter in the band’s career, and the Zagreb audience will be among the first to hear the new songs live. Their enthusiasm for being a favorite of the local audience was best confirmed by their performance at Paganfest at Tvornica Kulture early last year, and now it can only get better!

Swedish Twilight Force is synonymous with lush symphonic power metal filled with fantastic stories, virtuoso guitars and very memorable choruses. The band is known for their albums “Tales of Ancient Prophecies”, “Heroes of Mighty Magic” and “At the Heart of Wintervale” (not to be confused with Immortal’s “At The Heart of Winter, hohoho), with which they won fans all over the world. Their concerts are known for their spectacular atmosphere and fantasy aesthetics that transform the audience into participants in a great adventure, and we know very well that the Zagreb audience loves it very much, so it’s worth dressing up and dressing appropriately. With fast riffs, orchestrations and catchy melodies, Twilight Force is today considered one of the most important names in contemporary European power metal.

We will start 2027 with an evening of top-notch melodic death metal. American extreme metal institution The Black Dahlia Murder, one of the most influential and respected bands on the contemporary death metal scene, is coming to Kino Šiška.
Since their formation in 2001, the band has been impressing with an explosive combination of melodic guitar harmonies, relentless blast beats, technically accomplished riffs and brutal vocals. Through albums such as Unhallowed, Miasma, Nocturnal, Ritual, Nightbringers, Verminous and the latest Servitude, they have created a recognizable sound that combines Swedish melodiousness with American death metal aggression.
After the tragic loss of long-time singer Trevor Strnad in 2022, the band continued their journey with founding member Brian Eschbach behind the microphone and proved that their creative momentum remains stronger than ever. New material and concerts confirm that The Black Dahlia Murder remain one of the most explosive concert bands in extreme metal.
Their shows are known for their immense energy, flawless execution and non-stop riffing that leaves the audience with almost no time to catch their breath. If you love melodic death metal in its most brutal and technically accomplished form, this concert is not to be missed.
