Induction

Induction, with their EP The Power Of Power and the new album Born From Fire, have shown they don’t just keep up in power metal — they’re climbing mountains. Frontman Tim Kanoa Hansen is the son of Kai Hansen (Helloween, Gamma Ray) — serious musical DNA. Their blend of anthems, sonic walls and stadium riffs will strike Mayrhofen like an alpine blaze.

Turbobier

Vienna’s own punk‑rock machine Turbobier have been revolutionising the party since 2014 with songs that could double as après‑ski anthems and protest cries. Their upcoming album *Das Leben is a Oaschloch* (2026) signals a ‘back to the roots’ storm, while their live shows – full of humour, beer and chaos – are legendary. Fun fact: Turbobier have their own branded beer and a fan‑club called the “Turbopolizei”. At Mayrhofen the beer will flow, the riffs will roar and the slopes will shake.

Bloodbound

Swedish power‑metal warriors Bloodbound have been storming the front lines since 2004, combining classic heavy‑metal roots with soaring melodies and battle‑cry choruses. Their latest concept album *Field Of Swords* (out 21 November 2025 via Napalm Records) marks a shift from Viking saga into the brutal Middle Ages. The lead single “Defenders of Jerusalem” sets the tone with crusader imagery and righteous riffs. Fun fact: though they sometimes perform in corpse‑paint, Bloodbound insist they’re not black metal—they just know how to look epic in the snow. On the alpine stage of Mayrhofen they’ll bring frost, fire and steel‑clad anthems.

Rauhbein

Born in 2019 around frontman Henry M., German Folk-Rock outfit Rauhbein fuse Irish pub‑energy, straight‑from‑the‑heart German lyrics. With their Debut Steh wieder auf they already formed a Cult Follwing with they cemented with yearly chart-breaking follow-ups. Henry used to impersonate Elvis and played pubs in Ireland—now he tells tales of freedom and brotherhood.

Emil Bulls

Emil Bulls have been cult legends for decades, smashing every genre boundary in their path. Their current album Love Will Fix It shows they’re still brimming with ideas. Their humor is as famous as their crushing riffs: once they missed their own support band because they got stuck at an après-ski party. Perfect conditions for a spot on our line up!
At Full Metal Mayrhofen they’ll destroy everything between snow bars and circle pits — but we love them anyhow! Or especially for THAT reason?

Paleface Swiss

Paleface Swiss are currently the band to watch in the Deathcore scene — anyone keeping track of modern heavy music knows their name. With Fear & Dagger, they’ve dropped a sledgehammer of a record that’s turning heads far beyond Switzerland. Frontman Zelli is infamous for savage vocals and an uncompromising stage presence that sends chills down spines. Their DIY spirit is unshakable: bookings, merch, promo, all handled themselves. Their circle pits are legendary and could easily trigger the next avalanche. Tyroleans, get ready — the Alps’ hardest wrecking ball is coming for you!

Ensiferum

Their last album Winter Storm distills Ensiferum’s epic tales of courage and camaraderie. Powerful melodies breeze through the valleys like crisp mountain air. From heroic riffs to folk refrains, everything feels like adventure and freedom. Live they become a joyful avalanche of sound. Frontman Petri Lindroos roars like a battle-horn across frozen fjords, leading Ensiferum’s charge with steel-edged growls and fearless stage power. Mayrhofen can look forward to Nordic fire with Alpine flair.

Beyond The Black

Beyond The Black deliver epic Symphonic Metal that shakes entire mountainsides. Jennifer Haben’s voice is strong enough to melt glaciers, and she’s known to rock leather even in freezing temperatures. We say: This is a perfect preset to join the gang of FMM Bands 2026! Their keyboard player will probably be wearing his signature flip-flops even in snowy Zillertal again, true story! Expect alpine metal goosebumps – Winter truly is coming!

Donots

The Donots from Ibbenbüren are famous for never standing still: from sweaty DIY club tours to huge festival headliners, they built it all with heart, sweat, and a strong message. Their gigs feel like a class reunion with a moshpit — everyone goes wild, everyone belongs. They proudly stand against fascism, never compromising their values. When you see them live, you know it’s 100% real. In the Zillertal, Punk Rock will ignite at 1,000 meters like a raging avalanche.

Doro

On her last album Warriors Of The Sea Doro proved again why she’s the undisputed Queen of Metal. Her voice shines like morning sun over freshly powdered peaks. Expect brand-new anthems and timeless classics. Doro turns every stage into a sea of energy and emotion. Mayrhofen becomes a crown stage on her next Metal journey.
