BLOODBATH (SWE) supported by NERVOCHAOS (BRA)

BLOODBATH (Sweden) NERVOCHAOS (Brazil) Altar Bar 2 March 2027

Two of the worlds most respected names in extreme metal are joining forces for an unmissable first time appearance in Tasmania at Altar Bar. This exclusive Australian run will unite the crushing sound of classic Swedish death metal with the savage intensity of Brazil's underground to deliver their uncompromising sound.

BLOODBATH – SWEDISH DEATH METAL Founded in 1998, Bloodbath has become one of the defining names in modern death metal. Originally formed by members of Opeth, Katatonia and Paradise Lost, the band has built a formidable reputation through landmark releases including Resurrection Through Carnage, Nightmares Made Flesh, The Fathomless Mastery, Grand Morbid Funeral and Survival of the Sickest.

Renowned for their uncompromising sound, crushing HM-2 guitar tone and devastating live performances, Bloodbath remain one of Sweden's most celebrated exports in extreme music.

For the first time since 2019, Bloodbath return to Australia—bringing Swedish death metal back to the masses and teaching them the true meaning of Swedish Death Metal!

NERVOCHAOS – BRAZILIAN EXTREME METAL DESTRUCTION Formed in São Paulo in 1996, NervoChaos have spent more than three decades forging a reputation as one of South America's most relentless extreme metal forces. With an extensive catalogue of acclaimed releases and countless tours across Europe, Asia, North and South America, the Brazilians have earned worldwide respect for their ferocious live performances and unwavering dedication to the underground.

Fusing old-school death metal with blackened aggression and thrash intensity, NervoChaos have continued to evolve while maintaining the raw, uncompromising attitude that has defined the band since its formation. With multiple albums released since their last Australian appearance, NervoChaos return to unleash a new level of Brazilian Extreme Metal Destruction on Australian audiences.
