About the event

It's a nerve-wracking tightrope walk between life and death, and TENSIDE captures that
tension perfectly on their new album. On "Come Alive Dying," the Munich-based modern
metal formation navigates an existential gray area between apocalypse and creative rebirth
a stylistic and thematic balancing act that sees the quartet set entirely new standards in their
genre in 2024!

For over fifteen years, this band, formed in 2005, has captivated an international fan
community with their modern metal sound, blending influences from metalcore, thrash, and
industrial metal to create their unique and instantly recognizable trademark style. Following
well-received albums like "NOVA" (2013) and "Convergence" (2017), “Glamour & Gloom”
(2020) TENSIDE achieved their greatest success yet with the release of "Come Alive Dying"
in January 2024, entering the German Top 100 Album Charts at #6.

TENSIDE has built a solid standing through countless live performances, from small
underground clubs to renowned festival stages. They have headlined tours throughout Europe,
the UK, China, and Japan, and have supported international top acts such as Five Finger
Death Punch, Killswitch Engage, Trivium, As I Lay Dying, Bad Wolves, and many more.

They have rocked stages worldwide, from Wacken Open Air and With Full Force to 
Bulgaria's Hills of Rock, China's Midi Festival and lately Colombia´s Altavoz Festival in 
Medellin.
