When heavy riffs start echoing through the Zillertal and the Alpine scenery suddenly feels a lot less peaceful, chances are Heartless Human Harvest are on stage. The band stands for uncompromising extreme metal – cold, brutal and straight to the point.

With destructive vocals, crushing guitars and a live energy that instantly gets the crowd moving, Heartless Human Harvest have quickly made a name for themselves in the underground scene. On stage there’s no distance between band and pit – just pressure, chaos and constant movement in front of the stage.

The next step is already happening: Heartless Human Harvest are the newest signing to Corrupted Blood, the label founded by Hand of Blood.

So Mayrhofen won’t get a soundtrack for postcard‑perfect mountain views – but one made for sweaty shows, spinning pits and overdriven amps in the middle of the Alps.

The legendary Mount Grimming in Styria is more than just a namesake — it is the very source of inspiration for this Austrian death metal steamroller. Razor-sharp, chainsaw guitars and ferocious, relentless vocals collide with lyrics forged from the deep and ancient legends of Styria itself. Full Metal Mayrhofen Full Metal — honestly, what more could you possibly want?

With Anthropocene Seasons in Black serve up a bold statement for modern Dark Metal – and the secret flavor might just be the spice mix of chef-shouter Lucki Maurer, also known as a TV cook! This heavy-metal cake tasted so good that Metal Hammer lifted it straight to No. 1 in the charts. Live, they blend gripping intensity with surprising warmth. In Mayrhofen, dark sounds will meet a radiant mountain landscape.

Ozzyfied celebrate the legend Ozzy Osbourne with heart and sharp rock attitude. Classics like Crazy Train or Paranoid sound as fresh as first tracks in new snow. The band brings the unique Ozzy feeling to every stage – close to the original yet full of their own energy. Their shows unite generations of Rock fans, having found their most dedicated fanbase amongst the Metalheads in the W:O:A Universe!

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.

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.

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.

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 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 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!
