Critical Defiance, one of Chile’s most exciting thrash bands, is coming to Hamburg. Since 2010, the quintet from Valparaíso has been synonymous with breakneck speed, razor-sharp riffs, technical precision and uncompromising aggression. Their fourth album, *Rivers of Blood*, is due for release in 2026 – and they’ll be taking it on their first European tour.
Also featuring DET from Helsinki: the Finnish power trio blends speed, death, black and thrash metal into a raw, uncompromising old-school sound. Their debut, *Destructive Elite Terror*, was released in 2025 on Dying Victims Productions.
To coincide with their joint tour, both bands will release the split ‘Bloodsurge’ in October 2026 – and bring it straight to the stage.
