Asphyx have checked in to comment on this special show as follows: “Second time for Asphyx to do a release-show in the Turock in Essen. The first time was a huge success and we hope we can make this release-show of our new album Deathhammer just as great as the previous one. Yet again we have great support acts with Sonne Adam, Blizzard and Necrowretch to complete a night of true death metal. Remember... If you won't face death... we will!”

Given the band's reputation as intense live act, the special connection with the club’s crowd, the cheap ticket pricing as we all the amazing lineup of support acts, this event promises to become a truly unforgettable night of pure death metal and a date not to be missed by real supporters of the style! A special Death Metal Night disco program will follow the completion of the live show in the venue… so grab your tickets now.
