THE BEAST

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

INFEST, HELLLDRIFTER and MORTAL STRIKE Unite for Ambassadors Over Europe Tour 2026

Unity, loyalty and steel are alive and well in 2026 as INFEST, HELLLDRIFTER and MORTAL STRIKE unite for the Ambassadors Over Europe Tour. Three bands, three different corners of the modern extreme scene, same mission. Bring death, thrash and old-world aggression straight to the fans, city by city.

Coming off the release of their seventh full-length Ambassadors of Aggression, Serbia’s death-thrash force INFEST have been on a tear. Their precision and venom have been turning heads from the Balkans to the States, and their recent Bolje Da Umrem guitar playthrough showcased the clinical brutality behind their sound. Mixed by Rodoljub Raičkovic and mastered by Dan Swanö, the record is a full-strength testament to why INFEST remain one of the most battle-tested units in Europe today.

Germany’s HELLLDRIFTER enter the campaign with their latest album Shell of Inexistence, a record that Loudwire pegged as a knife-edge fusion of classic death metal and melody. Pulling from the Gothenburg tradition while carving their own path, HELLLDRIFTER’s songwriting brings weight, groove and existential teeth to the lineup. Their newest material hits with the same quality and care you’d expect from a band produced at Hard Drive Sound Studios and mastered at Kohlekeller.

Holding the line alongside them is Austrian thrash battalion MORTAL STRIKE, a no-bull, riff-forward crew that has been punching holes in stages across Europe for over a decade. Every tour with MORTAL STRIKE reads like a bonding ritual. Beer, sweat, speed and a healthy disrespect for half measures.

The routing says it all. No soft openings. No shortcuts. Just nightly engagements, real crowds and real mileage.

STAGE DATES:
14.05 Maribor
15.05 Graz
16.05 Zagreb
17.05 Vienna

INFEST + HELLLDRIFTER continue the assault:
19.05 Nurnberg (INFEST only)
20.05 Balingen
21.05 Chemnitz

24.05 Budapest (INFEST only)

This run isn’t about hype or chasing phone-screen trends. It’s about doing what metal bands have always done. Show up, play loud, shake hands and build brotherhood the old fashioned way, in the flesh. Call it unity, call it friendship or call it what the bands themselves call it: legion.
