Since their 2003 inception, they have transcended the metalcore scene and cemented their place in modern metal with albums such as &lsquo;Killing with a Smile&rsquo;, &lsquo;Horizons&rsquo;, &lsquo;Deep Blue&rsquo; and &lsquo;Ire&rsquo;. &lsquo;Carrion&rsquo;, &lsquo;Wild Eyes&rsquo; and &lsquo;Vice Grip&rsquo; are just a few of the live staples that turn a festival arena into a churning mosh pit in the blink of an eye.</p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">If you caught their jaw-dropping GMM performance in 2023 then you know that these guys pack a serious live punch. Their show was among the weekend&rsquo;s standout performances and got the whole arena moving. Next year they&rsquo;re coming back to Dessel to deliver another shot of boot-to-throat metalcore as they close out the South stage.</p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">More details about ticket sales for Graspop Metal Meeting 2027 will follow soon so keep an eye on <a href=\"https://www.graspop.be/en/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the GMM website</a> and our socials!</p><p style=\"text-align: justify\"><em>About GMM: From 17- 20 June 2027 we&rsquo;re celebrating 30 years of Graspop Metal Meeting.
