Metalgate Czech Death Fest 2026: The Altar of Extreme Death Metal

From June 18-20, 2026, Autocamp Brodský hosts Metalgate Czech Death Fest, an essential gathering for death metal enthusiasts in the Czech Republic. This edition brings together 29 bands specializing in the most brutal and technical sounds in the metal spectrum. Headliners BLOODBATH, the legendary Swedish supergroup, and Asphyx, Dutch death-doom pioneers, embody genre excellence.

The 2026 lineup explores all facets of extreme death metal, from brutal death to technical death. Avulsed brings their Spanish touch to grindcore, while local Czech bands demonstrate the vitality of the national scene. The festival also celebrates hybridizations with blackened death metal and sludge.

Beyond sonic brutality, Czech Death Fest Openair offers an authentic, friendly atmosphere far from commercial mega-festivals. Autocamp Brodský, set in nature, creates an ideal setting for three days of total immersion in extreme music. Between relentless deathgrind sessions and moments sharing with artists, this festival embodies the underground spirit of European metal in its purest, most intense form.
