Best of Budapest & Hungary

One of the fastest-rising and most influential bands in British modern metal, Malevolence, will perform in Budapest on June 10, 2026, at A38 Ship, where they will prove to the Hungarian audience why the world has been paying so much attention to them in recent years. The band’s next show in Hungary promises an intense, crushing experience for local fans.

    Their career began in Northern England and has skyrocketed in recent years. They have toured the world with bands such as Mastodon, Trivium, Architects, and Thy Art Is Murder, and have been playing sold-out headliner shows across Europe. They have already visited Budapest several times, last time performing at the Budapest Arena as special guests of the world-famous Five Finger Death Punch. Today, Malevolence has become one of the defining forces of the modern metal scene, bringing their unique blend of heavy grooves and brutal hardcore energy to the stage every time. Fans gladly match this intensity: their concerts never slow down, with relentless energy exploding into wild mosh pits.

    This year, the band released their fourth album, Where Only The Truth Is Spoken, an 11-track, devastating, all-out record that pushes their distinct sound to its peak. Fans were already introduced to a song from the album in 2024: “Trenches,” which elevated their groove-centered hardcore sound to a new level — a raw, uncompromising track that shows the band has not drifted away from its underground roots despite playing bigger festivals and arenas. The track was recorded with Grammy-winning producer Josh Wilbur (Lamb of God, Korn, Gojira).

    “Trenches is probably our most aggressive and honest song. The lyrics are about not needing anyone’s approval. We wanted to remind people that we never forget where we came from,” vocalist Alex Taylor said about the track and the band’s current era.

    This era — and the new album — will be celebrated at the Budapest show as well. Everyone attending on June 10 can expect elemental mosh pits and an unforgettable night shaking the A38 Ship to its core. Ticket sales begin December 5 at 10 a.m.
