Malevolence will be teaming up with Guilt Trip this spring for the United Kingdom Metal and Hardcore Across North America 2026 co-headline tour. The trek kicks off on March 31 in Detroit, MI, and concludes on April 23 in Milwaukee, WI, with support from Chamber. Tickets go on sale Friday(6) at 10 AM local time via thislocation.
Malevolence comment:
“Where to begin! Our first ever proper US headline tour after all these years and it is only right to be sharing the stage every night with some of our closest friends in the game GUILT TRIP from Manchester. With both bands proudly flying the flag not only for UK metal & hardcore but also more specifically the NORTH OF ENGLAND.
Our relationship with GT is very well documented – from numerous tours together, collaborating on music & even helping to release their last record, it feels extremely fitting to be venturing onto foreign shores side by side for a big, bad co-headline debut – In our opinion a true demonstration to the American people of what real northern UK heavy music has to offer. We strongly advise you don’t miss this shit.”
Guilt Trip vocalist Jay Valentine adds:
“We’re so excited to return to the states with our good friends in Malevolence. It feels great to come back so soon and share a headlining slot with our UK brothers. After just one run, North America already feels like a second home to us and we can’t wait to see you all again!”

Progressive German metal outfit The Hirsch Effekt have unleashed their most melancholic and introspective album yet with Der Brauch on January 30, 2026. Read the review on Metal Insider here. We caught up with guitarist/vocalist Nils Wittrock and bassist/vocalist Ilja...
I don't think I could possibly love a band more than when I'm watching them actively refuse to become a fixed idea. The Hirsch Effekt take up shop in the lab where music feels less like a product and more like a mid-thought transcription from a parallel universe....
