Belphegor to Unleash Hell on European Soil with Praise The Beast Tour 2026

By Jason
The infernal procession kicks off this autumn, promising a night of unholy metal mayhem.

Prepare yourselves, metalheads! The unrelenting black death metal juggernaut known as Belphegor is set to embark on a cataclysmic journey across Europe in the fall of 2026. Dubbed the 'Praise The Beast European Tour 2026', this tour is engineered to incinerate venues and souls alike. The chaos commences on September 29th at Turock in Essen, Germany, and will rage through Belgium, the Netherlands, Scandinavia, Central Europe, Poland, and the UK, culminating in a final sacrificial performance on October 18th at The Underworld in London.

As if the mere presence of Belphegor wasn't enough to ignite the flames of anticipation, the tour will also feature death metal legends Krisiun and the ominous black metal coven Asagraum as special guests. Fans can expect a fourth band to be unveiled soon, heightening the tension and excitement surrounding this already monumental tour.

The full list of dates is a testament to the band’s commitment to unleash their sonic wrath upon the continent. From the hallowed grounds of Essen to the darkened corners of Krakov, each venue will bear witness to an onslaught of relentless riffs and guttural vocals. Tour stops include iconic locations such as Bibelot in Dordrecht, Metropool in Hengelo, and the bastions of metal in Berlin, all the way to the grimy underground of The Underworld in London.

Earlier this year, Belphegor unleashed their latest single, “Scarlet Beast – Leviathan,” which has been consuming airwaves through Reigning Phoenix Music. The track, a testament to their mastery of dark artistry, was meticulously crafted under the skilled hands of Tue Madsen at Antfarm Studio, with guitars, vocals, and bass laid down at Studio Mischmaschine Oberalm, Austria, and drums recorded in the hallowed Church Of Sound Studio in Munich.

With Helmuth on guitars and heretic grunts, Wolfgang “Wolf” R. shredding, and James S. pummeling the drums, Belphegor’s lineup is a force to be reckoned with. Get ready to chant the praises of the beast as tickets for this brutal tour will soon be available through local venues and promoters. Stay tuned, for the inferno is just around the corner!
