The Welsh Black Metal Storm Returns

Making a triumphant return to the Beermageddon stage are Welsh black metal purveyors, Agrona!

If you were there in 2018, you know the undeniable impact these guys made on the festival, which earned them a massive heroes' welcome for our 10th Anniversary edition back in 2022. They are back once again, but this isn't just a victory lap. Armed with fresh blood in their lineup and an arsenal of brand-new music, Agrona is ready to unleash total darkness upon the festival faithful.

"A blackened storm returns to Beermageddon, and that storm has a name... Agrona!"

🐺 Thrasherwolf

Face-Blistering London Thrash Metal

Beermageddon, it’s time to join the pack. We are absolutely stoked to welcome London’s own Thrasherwolf for their official festival debut!

These guys are currently celebrating a decade of fast and furious metal, bringing a neck-breaking blend of old-school aggression mixed with new-wave thrash elements. After witnessing their ferocious, high-octane set at Slaughterhouse last year, we knew we had to bring them to the festival to make your ears bleed and get the crowd howling.

"When Thrasherwolf takes their rightful place on stage, it won't just be a festival weekend—it will be the Year of the Wolf!"

They’ve been on the Beermageddon radar for years, and for 2026, Liverpool’s Devils Henchmen are finally making their highly anticipated festival debut.

Boasting a staggering CV of high-profile shows, this band delivers an aggressive, vitriolic melding of old-school crossover thrash and perfectly executed modern tech thrash. If you consider yourself a hardcore, stalwart Gedonite, this set is guaranteed to tick every single one of your boxes.
