Blackened Death Metal Act Thulcandra Announces First-Ever Live Dates In Mexico!
German blackened death metal masters THULCANDRA have announced their first-ever tour in Mexico! By the end of last year, the band released their much-acclaimed, first live album and the follow-up to their latest studio offering “Hail The Abyss”. “Live Demise” was recorded live in 2011 at a hometown show in Munich, Germany, and features true gems that the band hasn’t performed in more than a decade. The record sees THULCANDRA celebrating the first chapter and early days of the band. Now, after countless tours and festival shows across Europe and North America, THULCANDRA will finally make their first live appearances in Mexico!
THULCANDRA frontman Steffen Kummerer comments: “We are excited to announce our first ever tour in Mexico in March 2025. We prepared a setlist with songs of all five studio albums in favour of our loyal fans supporting the band since more than 20 years but never got a chance to see the band live yet. See you in March at a venue near you!”
Our show at Bavarian Battle Winter as part of The Chaos Reign Through Live Demise Tour 2025 will see a live recording on video and audio for a future release. Bring your friends, show your finest look and make sure to pick up one of the last 50 tickets available.

This Friday, December 6, 2024, blackened death metal masters THULCANDRA will release their first-ever live album, “Live Demise”, that celebrates the first chapter and early days of the band!
“Live Demise” was recorded live in 2011 at a hometown show in Munich, Germany, and features true gems that the band hasn’t performed in more than a decade, all with the original line-up consisting of Sebastian Ludwig, Tobias Ludwig, Matthias Landes (Dark Fortress, Noneuclid) and Steffen Kummerer (Obscura, Death, Cynic).
Following a video clip for the previously-released live version of “Fallen Angel’s Dominion”, today, THULCANDRA are premiering “Night Eternal (Live)”! Band mastermind, Steffen Kummerer, comments:
“With “Night Eternal” we present you the opening track of our debut album “Fallen Angel’s Dominion” (2010), taken off our first ever live release “Live Demise”. Tracked at a home town show in Munich, Germany a decade ago, we celebrate the early days of the band in a raw and energetic setting, showcasing each member on fire. See you all on our upcoming European run with Sacramentum at a venue near you!”
The video clip for “Night Eternal (Live)” is now streaming HERE:
THULCANDRA’s rise to power ignited when the four-piece unleashed their debut album, “Fallen Angel’s Dominion”, upon metaldom in 2010. Followed by their 2011 masterpiece, “Under a Frozen Sun”, “Live Demise” contains brutal-as-hell classics from both records, like “Black Flags Of Hate”, “In Blood And Fire” and “The Spirit Of The Night”, aptly capturing the spirit and high-voltage energy of both the crowd and band. Ragers such as “Night Eternal” and “Fallen Angel’s Dominion” perfectly showcase the band’s raw and intense performances in their early days, and prove how THULCANDRA has quickly stepped up as one of the leading bands of their genre!
Due to the pandemic, which was subsequently followed by their latest, much-acclaimed studio album “Hail The Abyss” (released in May 2023 via Napalm RecordsHERE), “Live Demise” could not be released alongside THULCANDRA‘s 20th anniversary as originally planned. Now, with mixing and mastering by Dan Swanö (Katatonia, Edge Of Sanity, Dissection) and cover artwork designed by Herbert Lochner, this very special release will become available in only strictly limited editions exclusively via Napalm Records and at THULCANDRA‘s upcoming live shows – including their European co-headlining run with legendary Swedish black and death metal band Sacramentum with support from Nephylim. The tour begins January 2025; find all upcoming dates listed below!
