The lineup for Metalgate Czech Death Fest 2026 is complete, featuring six new Czech bands.
ARCH OF HELL (CZ), HYPNOTIC SCENERY (CZ), CHOKED BY OWN VOMITS NEW (CZ), LANDSCAPE OF SHADOWS (CZ), MADE BY ZERO (CZ), SEARCH AND DESTROY (CZ)
Look forward to the return of the legendary Hypnotic Scenery, who shook up the Czech underground in the late 90s. Other newcomers include Arch Of Hell, who produce contemporary modern metal with symphonic elements, blending melodic death and modern core, as well as Made By Zero, who share some members with them. Their music combines elements of classic hard metal subgenres and old-school metalcore. Then look forward to a dose of deathgrind from Choked by own vomits New, who are currently finishing their new album. Landscape of Shadows will deliver modern groovy death metal that defies labels and isn’t afraid to combine melody with aggression, and the final band is the Pilsen powerhouse Search and Destroy CZ. After years of searching, they’ve firmly established themselves in the waters of deathcore, into which they infuse their roots: nu-metal riffs, metalcore dynamics, and progressive layers with three distinct vocal styles.
