DIABOLIS Unleashes New Lineup, Special Guest Vocalist and Pop-Infused Surprise at 6th Annual New England Tattoo Exposition

Connecticut’s relentless metal force DIABOLIS is coming in hot with a revamped lineup and a sharp left turn for fans at the 6th Annual New England Tattoo Exposition , running April 17 to 19, 2026 at the Mohegan Sun Expo Center in Uncasville, Connecticut. The band storms the stage Saturday, April 18 at approximately 8:30 PM , unveiling a reimagined pop/R&B crossover track featuring guest vocalist Violet Dusk alongside new guitarist Casey Carr . The track takes a modern mainstream hit and throws it into the fire with DIABOLIS’ heavier sensibilities , letting both worlds collide.

Fans can expect almost all the songs from the band’s latest EP , a selection of other new tracks previously played live , and a revamped classic from the DIABOLIS archives . Casey Carr has been working extremely hard learning the material and making it his own, bringing new life and energy to the DIABOLIS arsenal that new and old fans alike will embrace .

It’s shaping up to be a full weekend of tattoo culture, artistry, and live performance . In partnership with convention co-owner Tom Ringwalt (Guitar Center and St. Jude collaborator) and the broader tattoo community including Ink Master Season 2 champion Steve Tefft , DIABOLIS will help debut a one-of-a-kind Schecter Blackout electric guitar branded with the New England Tattoo Exposition , DIABOLIS , and Guitar Center logos. The custom graphics for the guitar are being handled by William Lynch of Century Sign (Hamden, CT), with his logo also featured on the instrument. The guitar will be signed by the band, guest artists, and special celebrity guests, with proceeds benefiting St. Jude Children’s Hospital after expenses.

Special doors for the DIABOLIS concert open at 8:00 PM , and attendees who use the code “DIABOLIS” at the door can knock the standard $25 admission down to $15 . The convention itself opens at 12:00 PM on Saturday, April 18 .

DIABOLIS will also be fully posted up all weekend with a merch booth that includes exclusive items , a CD listening station , and recent live footage for new fans to get caught up.

The current lineup of Voxx (vocals), J-SINZ (drums), ~D~ (bass), and Casey Carr (guitar) is tightening the screws on the band’s sound, pushing harder on both old favorites and new material. Fans will notice the upgrade the second it hits the PA.

On the competitive front, DIABOLIS is confirmed as a contender for the Jam At The Dam Festival Battle , with the exact date pending. The battle takes place on the two Saturdays leading into the festival . DIABOLIS will release a dedicated press announcement once the competition date is confirmed. This year’s Jam At The Dam Festival runs Friday, July 24 and Saturday, July 25 , with the 2026 lineup yet to be announced. Last year’s stage hosted Steelheart, Warrant, Firehouse, George Lynch, Dokken, and Ace Frehley , so expectations for this year are already running high.
