Dear pumpkinheads,

we sadly have to announce that we are forced to cancel our planned Helloween concerts in (South) East Asia.

During the recently completed European tour, Michael Kiske contracted acute pharyngolaryngotracheitis

and asthmatic dyspnea with bronchitis and has been prescribed immediate bed rest by his doctor.

We feel very sorry for our fans in Indonesia, Malaysia and Taiwan, but Michaels health has the highest priority for us, and in order to prevent a long term damage to his voice this step is unavoidable.

We wish Michael a fast recovery and hope to be able to present our fans in (South) East Asia our mighty 40 Years Anniversary show in 2026!

- Helloween

FROM NAPALM RECORDS: 

 

Ukrainian blackened death/doom formation 1914 return to the battlefield with The War That Never Ends — a new headline tour celebrating their new album Viribus Unitis. Labelmates KATLA will join them.

Viribus Unitis (“With United Forces”) pushes the band’s signature mix of blackened death metal, crushing doom, and atmospheric tension into broader, more dramatic territory. The album explores not only the horrors of war, but also the endurance, camaraderie, and fragile humanity that emerge from the darkest chaos. With Viribus Unitis, 1914 deliver a deeply cinematic and soul-piercing experience that will come alive on stage with full intensity.

Joining them on this campaign are Danish doom lords KATLA , whose album Scandinavian Pain has already drawn attention for its bleak atmospheres and emotionally heavy storytelling. Fusing sludge, post-rock, and progressive doom, KATLA explore themes of melancholy, shame, greed, and the weight of human suffering — driven by thunderous drums, distorted walls of guitar, and haunting vocals. Their live performances are known for raw power, tension, and immersive darkness.

Two bands shaped by history, grief, and overwhelming heaviness.

One tour carrying the banner of stories that refuse to fade.

Experience 1914 and KATLA together on The War That Never Ends — a night of blackened fury, doom-laden despair, and emotional weight that lingers long after the final note.
