Founded in late 1992, this band from Germany describes their style as "sado-grind, war metal friction: filthy black/death/grind extremity with a raw 90s spirit". Here's a recording from their comeback at the Never Surrender Fest in Berlin December 2023. We're not expecting anything less than a violent and uncompromising live appearance of Naked Whipper at UTBS2026!

Last year, they sadly had to cancel their appearance, but we hopefully can see Dim Aura at UTBS2026!
Playing Black Metal with an uncompromising sound, topped with the raw, chaotic spirit of Punk and Rock'n'Roll, the band delves deeper and deeper into their signature blend of haunting melodies and headbanging riffs! Here's their latest single "Night Crowned"!

Last August, AURO released their second full-length The German band is the tool which is purposely used as a hammer destructively smashed into the grotesque face of society as a deterrent, to simultaneously build the foundation of one's own existence as part of the individual cosmos. So let's listen to IM SCHATTEN DER BASTION to know what we're in for at UTBS2026!

From highest heights to deepest depths, downwards into the maw of the underworld! Get your tickets here: https://folter666shop.de/search?search=UTBS2026

May 28, 2026

Same procedure as every year James!
Here are answers to questions concerning various topics, in a quick FAQ:

1. Is camping possible next to my car?
Yes, you can put your tent right next to the car on the camp ground

2. Can I bring my favourite battle axe/combat knife/AR-15/rocket launcher/whatever?
Nope. And if your knife is useful for more than getting butter on your bread for breakfast, please leave it at home as well. Same goes for pyros and all the likes of items, you won't usually bring to a music festival. There will be checks on the festival entrance.
Further: it's not allowed to bring your dog or whatever pet you might have. Please spare the animals from the stress of a music festival. Thank you.

3. Will there be showers/water access on the camp ground?
Sadly, the situation hasn't changed, so we won't have showers. Most of them are still not available due to the ongoing war in Ukraine and the leftovers are WAY BEYOND expensive. Nonetheless, there will be access to cold water, so if the weather turns out to be massively heated, you can just use one of the hoses to cool down.
We will try to set up the off-road shower again!

4. Can I setup my grill station?
This is highly dependent on the weather, as there might be a high fire risk when we get a drought again. We cannot predict the weather situation, so please act responsibly. There will be food trucks on the festival area to supply you over the weekend.

5. Can I bring glass bottles to the festival?
Yes, you are free to bring glass bottles to the camp ground, but not to the stage area. Anyhow, please keep glass of any kind to a reasonable minimum to reduce possible risks of injury and provide easier waste disposal. Thank you.

666. Can I play my music on the camp ground?
Yes, but please keep in mind that during night times, some people actually want to sleep. So please keep the volume on a level that won't piss off your neighbors.

7. Can you provide accommodation in Friesack?
We have no possibilities apart from the camp ground. If you need an appartment, want to rent a hotel room etc., please check Google, Booking and the likes for yourself.

8. Can you provide a flight or train service from location X to the festival area?
Sorry, we don't have the budget to buy planes, trains and build tracks. For a fitting solution, please see section 7 in the previous post.

9. What is the earliest I can arrive/ latest I have to leave?
You are free to arrive at the camp ground at Wednesday, 01.07.2026, from 4:00pm (16:00). We must ask you to leave until following Sunday, 4pm (16:00).

10. Will there be extra fees/deposits/whatever?
We won't charge any fees for the camp ground, nor deposits for trash etc. But please, leave the camp ground as you found it and put all the trash in the containers we provide.
As it happened before: putting glowing embers from your barbeque station into the garbage cans will cause fires. DO NOT DO THIS. Thank you.

11. Are generators allowed on the camp ground?
Yes, but please don't have them running constantly and if your neighbors are annoyed, please consider moving your camp. There is enough room on the camp ground.

12. Where is Joerg?
Ah, you're playing, too? Nobody knows!

13. Can I get beer even after the last band finished playing?
Yes, there will be a possibility for you to get fresh beer on the camp ground, so the party can go on until next morning.

14. What if I lost my festival bracelet during the festival?
Once you enter the festival area the first time, you get a bracelet in exchange for your ticket (hard-/e-/CTS-ticket). If you kinda manage to rip it off your wrist, bring it to the entrance to receive a new one. If you lose it completely, there will be no chance to get a new one for free.

15. Can I bring my kids to the festival?
Children between 0 and 6 years of age don't have access to the concert area. Youths between 7 and 16 years of age have access only accompanied by a legal guardian or person having the care and custody of the child. Youths of 16 years of age and older have access until 00:00 only with written consent of a legal guardian. Persons having the care and custody of child must carry the written agreement for custody and must present a copy of the ID card of the legal guardian. Children from the age of 12 need a ticket.
Still, we HIGHLY advice TO NOT bring children as a Black Metal festival simply might not be a suitable surrounding. We are not having what you would call a family-friendly environment and yes, there might even be animal blood in the air sometimes.

16. If you have any disabilities and need more info (e.g. about wheelchair accessibility etc), please contact us and we'll provide additional info about the location in those regards.

If there are any questions left, don't hesitate to write a PN, we will answer everything as soon as possible.

Most of you will have seen this coming, but now it's official: Due to the unfortunate demise of Barth, ArsGoatia have to cancel their appearance at UTBS2026.

We hope, we can lighten your mood a bit with this one:
Founded in Berlin in 1994 by Impurus of Dies Ater and Cryogenic, Cromlech stands for atmospheric and timeless Black Metal beyond trends and modern aesthetics. After years of silence, the project emerged again with renewed force both live and in the studio.

The name of Dutch Black Metal band Doodswens translates to Deathwish, but the meaning and heavy load to the word in Dutch is better translated to: Driven by Death! To know what that sounds like, check out their self-titled album that was just released in April!

Expect a performance that is ceremonial and ritualistic, as uplifting as well as devastating, depending on the demons you bring them to offer! Get your tickets here: https://folter666shop.de/search?search=UTBS2026

Another line-up change: UADA sadly had to cancel their appearance at UTBS2026. Here's their statement and no, we don't know more than that:
"Due to unforeseen circumstances, Uada must cancel all appearances through 2026. This is not a decision that has been taken lightly, and we appreciate your understanding and support at this time."

As we where looking forward to classic material, we found a great replacement with Ancient! The Norwegians will play an anniversary show of their incredible debut album SVARTALVHEIM. Originally released back in 1994, a lot of fans consider this album the best release the band ever put out and is by many considered one of the most important albums in the 90’s Norwegian Black Metal genre.
