STIGMA Launch “SECOND CHANCE (Deluxe US/Export Edition)”
US & South American Touring Begins in 2026

Melodic metal and dark rock unit Stigma have released “SECOND CHANCE (Deluxe US/Export Edition)” , a global-focused expanded edition that brings the band’s catalog to new markets. Their sound blends dark romantic hooks and metallic edge for fans of HIM , The 69 Eyes , Volbeat , and Type O Negative .

With their international footprint growing fast, Stigma is currently routing a US Midwest tour for July 2026 , with South America targeted for late 2026 following strong traction in Brazil and Mexico. The band recently passed 20,000 followers on Facebook , marking a measurable spike in overseas engagement.

Formed in 2021, the German quartet features Gerald Zinnegger (vocals, lyrics), Markus Mantau (guitar), René Chlebnitschek (bass), and Bernd Paptistella (drums). Early EPs “Last Order” (2022) and “First Call” (2023) built their foundation, while the band’s debut full-length is planned for May 2025 .

Stigma also received international attention for their award-winning “Lies of War” music video, earning honors at festivals in New York, London, and Cannes. On the streaming side, their catalog has reached listeners in 100+ countries , supported by playlist placement and college radio including a Top 30 showing at WLTL 88.1FM and placement on the NACC Next chart.

Stigma’s message centers on embracing personal stigmas rather than hiding from them, a theme that resonates deeply with their growing fanbase known as the Stigmaniacs .
