Three names from different corners of brutal music are coming together for one uncompromising mission. In May 2026, Waking The Cadaver, Stillbirth, and 9Dead will join forces for the Slam Domination Tour 2026, a full European run designed for breakdowns, blastbeats, and pit-centric chaos from night one to the final encore.
Spanning clubs and festivals across 12 countries, the tour brings multiple generations of slam and brutal death metal under a single banner. US slam pioneers Waking The Cadaver headline the charge, backed by Stillbirth — Germany’s long-running brutal surf death metal institution — and 9Dead, a rising slamming deathcore force representing the next wave of extremity.
Stillbirth frontman Lukas Swiaczny sums up the spirit behind the tour: “This tour is all about raw energy and unity in the slam scene. Waking The Cadaver are absolute legends, and 9Dead represent the next wave of brutal music. Bringing these bands together with Stillbirth across Europe is something special for us. We’re ready to destroy every single venue on this run.”
The tour kicks off on May 15 at Hemelvaartse Herrie 2026 in Alkmaar, NL and wraps up on May 29 at Berlin Desecration Fest in Berlin, DE. Get your tickets here.
