How about a whole host of excellent BLOODSTOCK news that doesn’t announce a single band?
BLOODSTOCKers, we know you’ve been asking, and HQ wants you to have pleeeenty of time to plan the most splendid FANCY DRESS outfits, so without further delay, here are the themes for 2026!
Swedish melodic death metal pioneers AT THE GATES are releasing their new studio album The Ghost of a Future Dead, worldwide today via Century Media Records.
The follow-up to 2021’s wildly adventurous The Nightmare of Being, this new AT THE GATES album The Ghost of a Future Dead marks a special tribute to frontman Tomas Lindberg, who tragically passed away in September 2025.
The discerning fans of Hellsinki Metal Festival, which recently published its daily schedule, may have noticed one free spot on Saturday, and they were right on target – now the event’s second stage has also been finalized, with Swiss band Eluveitie confirming their appearance at this year’s Hellsinki Metal Festival!
Eluveitie, a masterful fusion of folk metal and death metal, released their Ànv album last spring, and the amazing 8-member band has been touring the world extensively since the release of their studio album. Eluveitie were last seen in Finland late last year as part of Arch Enemy’s European tour.
A new act quietly in the making, ORDER – combining futuristic electronic elements with the darkness of heavy goth rock – released its debut single. ‘Terminal Phase’ was first refined together with Lauri Hämäläinen, known for his work with Poets of the Fall. The final polish was done by Stefan Brown at London’s legendary Abbey Road Studios. Alongside this team, the duo is also working on new material with Jaani Peuhu, known for his work behind the scenes with Swallow the Sun and Lord of the Lost.
With “Foot Off,” CROBOT doubles down on the groove that made them dangerous in the first place. The track plows forward on a bluesy bone tingling riff and a chorus built to cut through the roar of a vintage American muscle car. It’s a full-throttle return to the band’s Dirty Groove Rock roots—raw, electrified, and impossible to ignore.
Hard rock powerhouse CROBOT is back with a thunderous new single, “Foot Off,” offering fans another taste of the band’s upcoming album Supermoon. Known for their signature blend of groove-heavy riffs, explosive energy, and undeniable swagger, CROBOT once again proves why they remain one of the most electrifying bands in modern rock.
“Foot Off” hits like a runaway freight train from the opening riff, combining crunchy guitar work, pounding drums, and the unmistakable powerhouse vocals of frontman Brandon Yeagley. The track delivers an adrenaline-fueled anthem built around the idea of pushing forward without hesitation—never slowing down and never taking your foot off the gas.
“Foot Off” puts us right back in the driver’s seat of charging our way through open highways at break neck speed with our destination set to our Dirty Groove Rock roots. This one is for the fans that have been with us from the beginning and fans that want to know exactly what we’re all about – still after 15 years of being a band.” – Brandon Yeagley
“It’s somewhere between ZZ Top, Aerosmith, and Clutch. Right where I like to be baby. I’m happy we are back to funkin’. Ever since I was a wee little boy, that’s what’s always got my motor running.” – Bishop
Lyrically, the song channels themes of determination, rebellion, and relentless drive. It’s a track that captures CROBOT’S high-energy spirit while encouraging listeners to keep charging ahead no matter the obstacles in their path.
