The legendary band SONIC DEATH is coming to Riga for the first time as part of the second leg of their “FUKEN HITS 2026” tour.
Born in the underground scene of Saint Petersburg in 2011, Sonic Death has evolved from raw garage punk into a powerful fusion of garage metal, noise rock, and nihilistic energy. Known for their fierce live shows and relentless DIY spirit, the band has carved out a unique space in the post-Soviet alternative scene.
Now based in Paris, Sonic Death continues in a new stripped-down form: a powerful duo performing with a drum machine. The current lineup features Arseniy Morozov (Padla Bear Outfit, Arsenij Krestitel, Xanax Tbilisi) on guitar and vocals, and Igor Myalkin (Knight Knights, Spasibo, Derevjannye Kity) on bass.
In this lineup, the band has re-recorded 13 of their best songs, capturing their new sound — minimal, direct, and more aggressive than ever. Without a live drummer, the drum machine drives the set with mechanical precision, while the bass and guitar create a dense, overwhelming wall of sound.
On stage, Sonic Death remains true to its reputation: intense, unpredictable, and uncompromising. A concert by Sonic Death is not a performance, but a confrontation — loud, raw, and impossible to forget.
