Metal

Deep within the Austrian Alps, Kaltenbach Open Air returns from August 20th to 22nd, 2026, for a relentless assault on the senses. This isn't just a festival; it's a pilgrimage for devotees of extreme metal, set against a backdrop of breathtaking, unforgiving natural beauty. Prepare for three days of uncompromising black, death, and thrash metal echoing through the mountains, a sonic maelstrom perfectly complementing the rugged landscape. Beyond the thunderous riffs and guttural vocals, Kaltenbach cultivates a fiercely dedicated community, united by a shared passion for the genre's darkest corners. Expect an intimate yet powerful experience, far removed from mainstream distractions, where the music truly speaks for itself. The air will be thick with the energy of kindred spirits and the raw power of established legends and emerging titans alike. Come and be consumed by the darkness, forge new alliances, and witness metal in its purest, most potent form amidst the Alpine peaks. Kaltenbach is more than an event; it's an annual ritual for the truly devoted.
