Storm Crusher Festival

The 2025 edition of the Storm Crusher Festival took place from September 12 to 13, 2025 – again in the Wurzer O'Schnitt-Halle in Püchersreuth-Wurz. The lineup was once again curated by the organizer Storm Crusher e.V. according to the proven old-school principle: 15 bands over two days, a mix of historical acts (Satan, Raven, Artillery, Crashdïet) and current representatives of classic heavy metal, death metal, and hard rock (Amethyst, Chapel of Disease, Dead Lord, Ereb Altor, Horns of Domination, Indian Nightmare, Kerrigan, Khirki, Majak, Mechanic Tyrants, Soulless).

As always, the pre-show took place on Thursday with a label night, and the Band Crusher Contest opened the festival on Friday. The response from the scene was positive, and the festival has established itself as a fixture in the German underground metal calendar.
