Grindpad + Persecutor

Grindpad

Metal as it was once meant to be: aggressive, violent, and full of fun. For almost two decades, Grindpad has stood proud, doing what they do best: playing METAL. Unaware of trends.

With their pounding Bay Area-inspired thrash, their signature Ed Repka artwork, and their uncompromising live shows, they have become the kings of Dutch thrash metal. Metal fans know by now: when the Shark Crew plays, it's time for beer, inflatable sharks, and a massive mosh pit.

Persecutor

Danish thrash metal band Persecutor is blasting through the thrash scene with their second album Vendetta. After a successful release, they played major venues like Copenhell and When Copenhell Freezes Over. This was followed by a European tour with Illdisposed. Their sound combines razor-sharp riffs, powerful songwriting, and a modern twist on classic thrash, with catchy melodies and lyrics that expose the absurdities of the world.

With their aggressive, catchy, and diverse thrash metal, furious and energetic live shows, and colorful presence, Persecutor is one of the most captivating thrash metal bands of our time.
