Wacken Metal Battle Switzerland : La Finale

Le 16 mai on accueille la finale du Wacken Metal Battle Switzerland ! Les groupes retenus sont :

Sons of Coherence
Sons of Coherence, winners of the semi-final held on January 23, 2026, at Gare de Lion in Wil SG, bring a crushing mix of death metal and hardcore to the stage. Hailing from Winterthur, the band stands for raw directness, intense dynamics and a sound that hits without detours.

The Kate Effect
The Kate Effect, winners of the semi-final held on February 7, 2026, at ZAK in Jona, deliver modern metalcore from Wädenswil. Combining heaviness with a strong sense for structure and melody, the band is one of the most seasoned acts in this year’s final.

Algebra
Algebra, winners of the semi-final held on February 21, 2026, at MOKKA in Thun, represent thrash metal from Lausanne. Since 2008, the band has stood for speed, precision and classic metal attitude — straightforward, powerful and sharply focused. Playing the final in Lausanne will certainly add an extra spark of motivation.

FVRIA
FVRIA, winners of the semi-final held on February 27, 2026, at Le Port Franc in Sion, blend nu metal, trap, punk and metal into a sound that deliberately breaks boundaries. Based in Fribourg, the band sounds modern, unpredictable and brings a distinct identity to this year’s final line-up.

DRILL
DRILL, winners of the semi-final held on March 14, 2026, at Treppenhaus in Rorschach, deliver uncompromising metalcore from St. Gallen. Their sound is raw, direct and built for impact, driven by the energy of a band that never does things halfway on stage.

Ophelia’s Eye
Ophelia’s Eye, winners of the semi-final held on March 21, 2026, at Estrich Winistorf, combine modern metal from Aargau with dense atmosphere and striking vocals. The result is a sound that convincingly brings together heaviness and emotion.

Days of Ruin
Days of Ruin, winners of the semi-final held on March 28, 2026, at Kupferschmiede in Langnau, bring old-school metalcore from the canton of Bern to the final. The band relies on raw force, a clear edge and a style deeply rooted in the heavier side of the genre.

Royal Desolation
Royal Desolation, winners of the semi-final held on April 4, 2026, at BFM Brasserie in Saignelégier, combine melodic death metal from Biel with heaviness, atmosphere and a strong sense for melody. This gives their sound a dark identity of its own.
