ROSA NEBEL (AT) | 26.9.2026 @ PMK Innsbruck

Having been on our wishlist since the early days of our promotion activities, this dream is finally coming to life. We are incredibly pleased to welcome ROSA NEBEL to the stage at PMK Innsbruck.

Operating from the shadows of the Vienna underground, ROSA NEBEL fuses industrial techno and darkwave into a raw, uncompromising sonic weight. Renowned for their deeply immersive, cinematic live sets, they are the perfect cathartic finale for this year's edition of “Aural Visions”.

They will take the stage in a brand-new two-piece lineup to perform material from their latest release “Pseudofreiheit der Beliebigkeit”.

She Past Away

LASTER (NL) | 26.9.2026 @ PMK Innsbruck

LASTER are not your average black metal act.

They create a theatrical wall of sound where the intensity of black metal collides with infectious, danceable rhythms and avant-garde dissonance - shedding every genre cliché to transcend into a realm entirely their own.

To quote Richard Currie from his review of their latest records “Andermans mijne” at Invisible Oranges: “You’re not required to undergo a demonic ritual under a funeral moon to get jiggy with what the band yearns to do.”

Expect a performance where eerie mask-work and intense visuals transform the stage of the PMK into a living manifestation of a Videodrome nightmare.

Traveling a long way for this exclusive (!) Austrian showcase, the Utrecht trio is set to deliver an unforgettable spectacle.

For fans of:
Ved Buens Ende
Killing Joke
Dodheimsgard
Ulver (all eras)
Phil Collins

VIDEODROME by David Cronenberg | 26.9.2026 @ Cinematograph Innsbruck

First it controls your mind
then it destroys your body.

David Cronenberg’s sci-fi horror masterpiece “Videodrome” revolutionized the genre by fusing hallucinatory techno-surrealism with terrifying mutations of the human body. Even though the bulky cathode-ray tubes of 1980s televisions have shrunk into the ubiquitous smartphones of today, the film's prophetic essence remains undeniably relevant. Cronenberg didn't just predict the future of technology; he predicted the future of us as a society - proving that we didn't just invent the digital world, we climbed inside it, and now we can't get out.

Experience an exclusive screening of this shockingly prophetic cult classic at this year’s edition of AURAL VISIONS at Cinematograph•Leokino, immersively framed by performances from Dutch black metal trio LASTER and Viennese dark electronic duo ROSA NEBEL at PMK Innsbruck!

Long live the new flesh!

Only 50 tickets for the screening are available at https://kupfticket.com/events/aural-visions-videodrome-laster, so dont sleep on this!

MIDWIFE + Devin Shaffer in extraordinary atmosphere, hosted by Quintessenz & Talstation

In the breathtaking setting of the barouque "Spitalskirche" in the heart of Innsbruck, we are thrilled to present MIDWIFE.

MIDWIFE aka Madeline Johnston is a self taught multi-instrumentalist and recording engineer, currently based in Southern Colorado by way of Denver, where she spent the last decade+ developing her sound and focusing on her artistic community. Midwife began while Madeline was a resident of the beloved DIY space Rhinoceropolis in 2014. On stage, Johnston is known for her sparse, emotionally charged experimental pop music that can silence a room. On record, she produces intricate and lush sonic environments in her own little corner of the heavy music scene. She describes her sound as “Heaven Metal,” AKA emotional music about devastation: catharsis. Johnston writes primarily about grief, and the many faces it can inhabit.

As the supporting act, we are more than happy to welcome Devin Shaffer.

Pre-sale starts on 26th at 10:00am and there is only limited space, so better be fast!

⚔️ THE BATTLE IS OVER ⚔️

The echoes of steel and thunder have faded, but the memories of this glorious night will remain forever.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for the epic evening with Omen USA and White Tower. Your passion, your energy, and your voices turned this concert into something truly legendary. Together, we raised our fists, sang the hymns of metal, and forged memories worthy of the halls of warriors.

To the bands, the crew, and every single metalhead who stood with us: thank you for making this night an unforgettable chapter in our story.

Here are a few photos to remember the fire, the power, and the brotherhood of that night.

A special thanks goes to Alina for capturing these moments and preserving the spirit of the evening through her outstanding photography.

Until we meet again beneath the banners of Heavy Metal...

⚔️ HAIL THE METAL LEGIONS! ⚔️

OMEN (US) & WHITE TOWER (GR) | 29.5.2026 | | Hosted by Quintessenz

On a night that makes even the majestic Nordkette tremble, a gate of steel, rivets, and ancient power opens:

Omen is coming - and exclusively to Innsbruck! What is unleashed here is no ordinary concert, but an epic campaign of hard-forged heavy metal that makes the hearts of the brave beat faster and the souls of the weak tremble.

At the epicenter of this mighty storm stands the legendary second album “Warning of Danger” - a work that cuts through the history of metal like a sword forged in flames. Every song a battle cry, every note a hammer blow on the anvil of eternity. When the first riffs resound, time itself will stand still, and Innsbruck will become the scene of a sonic battle rarely granted to mortals.

Omen is supported by none other than the battle formation who travel all the way from Thessaloniki to bestow honor upon us and themselves. And what location would be more fitting for such a spectacle than the epic halls of the PMK? Now only one question remains: do you dare face such a thunderous slap of heroic shredding?

Then raise your head, sharpen your senses, and step into the walls. For when the final note fades, nothing will be as it was. Only the legends will remain. And who knows if and when they will return. Only a fool would miss this chance!

See you
on 29. May 2026
at the PMK Innsbruck, Austria
