More than just a reunion, Oathbreaker’s re-emergence reaffirms the urgency, relevance, and emotional depth that have always set them apart. With special guests Portrayal of Guilt.

Oathbreaker is a genre-defying band whose sound merges post-metal, black metal, hardcore, and shoegaze into a deeply emotive and visceral sonic experience. Formed in Belgium in the late 2000s, the band quickly became a vital force in the international underground scene, known for their unflinching intensity, raw vulnerability, and transformative live performances.

Their 2016 full-length Rheia marked a creative and emotional apex — a deeply personal, cathartic record that resonated far beyond genre boundaries. Blending fragility with ferocity, Rheia redefined what extreme music could sound and feel like, and continues to influence a new generation of heavy artists years after its release.

Following a hiatus that began in 2018, the band returns to the stage in 2026. Though the members remained creatively active during Oathbreaker’s dormancy (through projects such as Wiegedood, Siem Reap and Predatory Void), the spirit and weight of Oathbreaker’s music never truly went silent. Their legacy is not only intact — it continues to grow.

On Portrayal of Guilt

Throughout the years, the revered Austin trio Portrayal of Guilt have toured the world over. Creating their own musical eco-system they have done it in a manner that avoided compromise, welcomed free experimentation and avoided labels outside of "menacing," “compelling” and “must hear.”

Portrayal of Guilt made an immediate impact in underground circles with their debut Let Pain Be Your Guide by mixing nihilistic hardcore, black metal, classic screamo, and imaginative textures. We Are Always Alone and CHRISTF*CKER LPs followed in 2021, the band’s breakout body blows that corroded the band’s commitment to genre, nodding at industrial music, post-metal, sludge and even post-hardcore, all while cementing the band’s tendencies toward experimentalism. Portrayal of Guilt’s fearless spirit reimagined their own sound as classical (Devil Music EP) and EBM / goth (CHRISTF*CKER II) on more recent efforts. And though the pacing of releases and the band’s evolution has remained steady, Portrayal of Guilt’s execution has kept their audiences hungry for the band’s ever-evolving sound.

New album …Beginning of the End embraces both the groove and avant garde, revisiting the raw, teeth-gnashing intensity of their previous work while toying with nu-metal, alternative rock, trip hop, dark ambient and other disparate influences. The latest effort feels like a band that has traversed every shadowy corner of heavy music, distilling their decade of innovation and knowledge into a singular show of force.
