Best of Budapest & Hungary

On their latest album Come Alive Dying, Tenside moves within an existential grey zone between apocalypse and creative rebirth, setting a new benchmark in the modern metal genre. Known for their high-energy live performances, Tenside has previously visited Hungary several times as a supporting act. This time, however, they return with a co-headlining tour alongside aurorawave, who known for their unique reggaecore sound. The bands will be joined by Suger Spine on September 20 at Analog Music Hall.

    Formed in 2005, the German band has been captivating an international fanbase for over fifteen years with their modern metal sound, blending elements of metalcore, thrash, and industrial metal to create a unique and instantly recognizable style. Following successful albums such as NOVA (2013), Convergence (2017), and Glamour & Gloom (2020), Tenside achieved their greatest success to date with the release of Come Alive Dying in January 2024, which debuted at number 6 on the German Top 100 album chart.

    Tenside have built a solid reputation through countless performances, ranging from small underground clubs to major festival stages. They have toured across Europe, the United Kingdom, China, and Japan, sharing stages with top international acts such as Five Finger Death Punch, Killswitch Engage, Trivium, As I Lay Dying, and Bad Wolves, among many others. They have also performed at renowned festivals like Wacken Open Air, With Full Force, and Hills of Rock. Their energetic shows are not unfamiliar to Hungarian audiences either, as they have previously performed as guests of Ektomorf and Leander Kills.

    Aurorawave will also join the tour as co-headliners, known for their pioneering reggaecore sound, blending reggae elements with heavy, guitar-driven tracks. The band released their powerful second album, Monument, in August last year, featuring several collaborations, including with Emmure, Underoath, and Left to Suffer. Tenside and aurorawave will be joined on tour by Suger Spine, who bring an aggressive mix of hardcore, metalcore, and deathcore to Analog Music Hall on September 20.

    It’s worth preparing in advance for this powerful night: tickets go on sale from 11 AM on April 10.
