Full Rewind Summer Open Air 2026 Announced With Arch Enemy and In Flames | Pulse Records News

The Full Rewind Summer Open Air will return in 2026, once again taking over Flugplatz Roitzschjora in Germany with a broad and hard-hitting lineup spanning extreme metal, hardcore and punk.

Set on the historic grounds of the former With Full Force Festival, Full Rewind Summer Open Air continues to position itself as a spiritual successor to one of Germany’s most important heavy festivals. The 2026 edition aims to revive long-standing traditions associated with the site, including the much-loved Knüppelnacht, while pushing forward with a contemporary and diverse booking approach.

Headlined by Arch Enemy and In Flames, the festival delivers a high-profile top tier while maintaining strong roots in hardcore, death metal and crossover scenes. Acts such as Hatebreed, Terror, Madball, Stick To Your Guns and Cro-Mags ensure a heavy hardcore presence, while extreme metal fans are covered with bands like Slaughter To Prevail, Cryptopsy, Taake and Sanguisugabogg.

The lineup is rounded out with punk, crossover and alternative flavours, including Alien Ant Farm, The Bones, Party Cannon and Rawside, underlining the festival’s commitment to variety without losing its aggressive core. From modern metal to old-school brutality, Full Rewind Summer Open Air 2026 aims to offer something for every corner of the heavy underground.

Tickets are available directly via the festival shop at a price of 189€, with the organisers once again confirming their intention to deliver a full-scale, scene-driven open-air experience at one of Germany’s most iconic festival locations.

LUCIFER’S FALL Announce Reunion, New Drummer & New Material in 2026

Image
Australian doom hammer strikes again — after more than two years of silence, LUCIFER’S FALL have officially reunited. One of the most uncompromising doom forces from the southern hemisphere, the band announced their resurrection through a series of raw, old-school updates that sent longtime followers into a frenzy. And in pure underground fashion, they’re not easing into it — the group is already preparing for studio action with a brand-new drummer whose identity remains shrouded in mystery. The first strike came on December 9th, when the band declared themselves “back as a recording entity,” signalling the return of core members Deceiver, Invocator, Heretic and Cursed Priestess. For collectors and doom lifers who’ve been spinning their earlier releases on repeat, this was the moment many hoped for — a promise that the bleak fire of traditional doom still burns in Adelaide. Then, on December 12th, the band doubled down: rehearsals are set for early next year, starting with...

MÜTIILATION Announces New Album “Pandemonium of Egregores” for December 2025

Image
Some announcements hit harder than others — and this one shakes the very bones of the underground. After decades of silence broken only by scattered manifestations, the unholy French Black Metal pioneer MÜTIILATION has returned with a new full-length: PANDEMONIUM OF EGREGORES , arriving December 26th, 2025. For those who have walked alongside MEYHNACH since the cursed dawn of the 1990s — through the Black Legions era, the darkness of MAJESTAS LEPROSUS , the deranged introspection of RATTENKÖNIG , the atmospheric death haze of SORROW GALAXIES — this moment feels surreal. The myth was supposed to remain buried. The stench of death was supposed to be final. Yet here we stand, welcoming the seventh son of a band that defined an entire underground ethos. In his own words, MEYHNACH writes: “This entity, buried but not dead, whose return you hoped for but no longer expected, has just given birth to its seventh son… The black metal cult is alive, keep an eye opened.” ...

Vital Remains – Dechristianize (2024 2xLP Reissue) Review

Image
⛤ Death Metal | 40.50€ (Mint) ⛤ Pulse Rating: 9.5 / 10 🛒 Check this item in stock 📧 Order Now When it comes to blasphemous, larger-than-life death metal, Vital Remains stands like a titan, and their masterwork "Dechristianize" is nothing short of colossal. As a die-hard metalhead and the proud curator of Pulse Records, my heart races every time I drop the needle on this iconic album. Finally, with the 2024 2xLP orange/black marble reissue from Listenable Records , "Dechristianize" gets the reverence it has always deserved. Let’s not kid ourselves; Dave Suzuki is the heart and soul of this record. It’s almost unbelievable to think about how much of this album he single-handedly crafted. The drumming, guitar leads, bass lines, and relentless lyrics shout out his obsessive commitment at every turn. Songs that stretch into epics of nine minutes or more — this is what Vital Remains does best. You’ll find yourself humming these riffs in...

Yngwie Malmsteen Calls Out Former Singers Over Use of His Name and Legacy

Image
Guitar virtuoso YNGWIE MALMSTEEN has issued a fiery new statement on social media calling out former singers for leveraging his name, album titles, and legacy to help promote their own tours and solo appearances. According to him, several vocalists he previously hired for studio work have been capitalizing on the association by presenting themselves as the “voices” behind his classic releases — a move the guitarist strongly condemns. “So it has come to my attention that these hired and paid singers that I hired for my solo records are all trying to capitalize from my brand,” he wrote, making it clear that performing on his albums does not grant ownership, authorship, or creative legacy. He further emphasized that contributing a vocal line “here and there” does not make someone a songwriter and that these musicians were compensated as work-for-hire performers, just like every other session contributor. The statement appears timed with the announcement of two separate to...
